How good is the 256 gb card that Samsung is giving away? I'm sure its not top of the line but might be good enough for me.
It is their top of the line card as far as I know
HOWEVER, Samsung and Samsung always work better together, so their line of SD Cards are probably your best bet.
I'm signed up for the free SD card but it looks like it's going to take up to 12 weeks to get it so I'm probably going to get the Samsung Pro+ 64 GB to use in the meantime.
Have been using this one for several weeks. Fastest Micro SD card I've ever used. (However, when I bought it from BB it was for $99, not the $299 for which it's currently selling. Ouch.) SanDisk Extreme PLUS 128GB microSDXC UHS-I Class 10 Memory Card Black SDSQXWG-128G-ANCMA - Best Buy
Any card with * UHS-Il * is better to get

Yup no way you need 256 gb Unless it was a tablet where I can store more movies....you already burn through the ~50GB of onboard storage left on your phone out of the box? I really wonder how many people need 256GB in their phone. If I get anything to add to the phone it will probably be a 64GB for < $40
Same speeds just in a larger capacity.How does the promo Samsung 256GB EVO + card compare to the Samsung 128GB Pro+ ?
