What speed is the included microSD card?

What class is the microSD card that comes with the Rezound?

I assume that using a faster one won't dramatically improve performance... It's already a great phone but can't help but ask.

few questions, i found a 32gb class 10 microsd card on amazon for $30: Amazon.com: KOMPUTERBAY 32GB Class 10 MicroSDHC Card 32 GB High Speed Micro SDHC with SDHC adapter: Computers & Accessories

is class 10 really nesscary, am i going to actaully benefit from it?

ive seen a bunch of 32 gb class 10 sdcard for 30-50 bucks, but when i try to find a 64gb class 10, there all 200+? anyone know of a cheap 64gb one?

I thought you could only get class 6 64GB micro SD cards. And will you see the difference in class 4 vs class 10. Hopefully...



Class Speed
Class 2 2 MB/s
Class 4 4 MB/s
Class 6 6 MB/s
Class 10 10 MB/s

A lot of variables here.

In 'older' phones the processor couldn't feed data to the sdcard any faster than a class 4 could support ergo why most phones come with a class 4 sdcard if they provide one. As you know, the Rezound comes with a fast dual core processor and should support higher transfer rates.

A lot of class4 sdcards can support faster transfer rates than their rating....luck of the draw.

I use a 32GB class 10 sdcard and it seems noticeably snapier than the 16GB card than came with the Rezound. Didn't do any quantitative benchmarks before or after the swap so can't help much there.

Again, its luck of the draw with max speeds from any sdcard. A lot of lower rated cards will perform faster than their rating. The main advantage of getting a class 10 is your sure it will support 10 mbs.

So along with the OP question, I have a ton of pictures on my current D1, so when I get my new phone, the higher the class, the faster the phone can bring them up and sort through them?

yes.

to everyone else, the Rezound can handle 64gb cards right? or is 32 the limit?

in theory, yes, but in practice, it depends, I had a Patriot class 10 sd card that was getting 4.x write speeds on large files. my class 4 sandisk was getting higher speeds...

it also depends on what you need it for.
