Re: Best Micro SD card for SAMSUNG GALAXY S7/ S7 EDGE

I think you should go with the regular pro, the read speed is slightly faster, and the write speed is a lot faster. very important for burst shots. Here is a reviewer on amazon who reviewed a bunch of sd cards


Test Setup:
Lexar Professional workflow UR1 microsd card reader was used for all tests except when noted
CrystalDiskMark 5.0.2 x64 was used to produce all the test results and was set up with 2 passes and 100MB read/write size
All cards up to 32GB are formatted as FAT32 with 32KB allocation unit size, all 64GB cards are formatted exFAT with 128KB allocation unit size

Test Results (Numbers are Sequential Read, Sequential Write, 4K Random Read, 4K Random Write in MB/s, speeds greater than 10MB/s were rounded to the whole numbers)

16 GB Alphabetically
Lexar 633x** -- 88, 25, 8.7, 1.2
Panasonic U3** -- 93, 42, 11, 0.7
Sandisk Extreme Pro -- 95, 80, 7.6, 2.6

32 GB Alphabetically

64 GB Alphabetically
Delkin U3 -- 94, 27, 13, 0.3
Kingston 90R/80W -- 94, 25, 13, 0.3
Lexar 1000x -- 92, 56, 12, 1.5
Lexar 1000x with Bundled Reader* -- 153, 66, 11, 1.7
Patriot EP -- 81, 22, 11, 0.6
PNY Turbo Performance -- 92, 54, 6.9, 0.9

Sandisk Extreme Plus U1 **** -- 92, 58, 10, 2.8
Sandisk Extreme Plus U3 -- 92, 88, 9.4, 2.9
Sandisk Extreme Pro - 97, 91, 10, 3.0
Sandisk Ultra ***** -- 46, 16, 7.0, 2.1
Sony up to 95MB/s -- 92, 49, 5.2, 0.9
Transcend Ultimate 633x -- 93, 83, 7.3, 1.4

128 GB Alphabetically
Lexar 633x -- 78, 28, 3.3, 1.4
PNY High Performance -- 81, 22, 5.4, 0.9
Samsung EVO+ -- 82, 26, 5.9, 1,2 <== the listed product, different capacity
Sandisk Ultra -- 92, 19, 6.4, 2.4
The only reason I was saying EVO+ is because the PRO is not available in 128gb. And the PRO+ is $150 vs the $66 EVO+. Both will perform adequately for the S7's usage I believe.

I am so focused on my own card that I am going to buy that I forgot all the options at the 64GB range.

What's the difference between the Pro and the Plus ? I just ordered 2 " Plus-s " . I'm also trying to find a good Reader for them. Any suggestions ?
