Best SD Card for Windows Phone

Hi, I have a question about having an SD for Windows Phone. Any sugestions? I was thinking about SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB. If the memory card is too slow it starts glitching. Please, help.

The Sandisk cards often work, but some problems have been reported. The Samsung SD cards, however, never seem to cause issues (I've yet to see a post claiming issues with Samsung cards) and there are often good deals on cheap ones. Get a Samsung class 10 card and you should be golden. I use one with my 820 (32gb) and with my Encore tablet (64gb) with no issues at all. I did get problems with other cards in my 820.

I've had no issues with a Lexar class 10 32gb card. It's been in my Lumia 820 for a few months. Samsung and SanDisk are great as well.

Hi,
recently i have update my SD to PNY microSDXC 128 GB. It has 20MB/s write speed and i can do 4k recording. If you want the best card you may look also for max. capacity?
Before that i used a samsung plus 32GB. That was ok but i had issues with 4k recording.

Yea, for 4K recording you will need the pro level class 10 variants for the high write speed. Of course, with a slower card you can record 4K to internal storage then move recordings to the SD after completion.

The Class is really what matters, then brand. Name brand cards work faster and hold data better. I had a PNY that would lose all data in my GoPro when I turned it off. Stick with Class 10 name brand cards such as Samsung, Sony, SanDisk, Western Digital, and stay away from generic brands such as PNY, Transcend, Kingston.
