Samsung Galaxy S3 and UHS microSD cards

[LeviathanPT]

Hey guys, anyone with a SGS3 with a UHS card that could show me some of the values you are getting in terms of read and write ?

Speedtested with SD tools on my s3
32gb sandisk UHS-1 class 10 micro SD

I tried class 2 card took longer to unwrap 100 photos

1hr download takes longer much quicker class10

Full HD video still worked ok on my class 2 card

Not sure you will notice the extra read/write speed of the uhs-1 card compared to other card classes unless you try to capture hd video to the card.

With the uhs1 class 10 cards, you're less likely to end up with choppy playback

If you can afford it, you might as well buy it. I except the uhs1 will become the minimum standard soon enough so you loose nothing if you get it now and you can move it to your next device and not be lagging in terms of read/write capability

Sandisk 32gb UHS-1 class 10
the read speed should be alot higher
if your looking for accurate read write speeds then this app is not for you
this app is drunk and disorderly and has no idea what its doing


Overall score = 2 /10

Sandisk 32gb UHS-1 class 10

Read speed should be 17-18 MB/s
so this app can't be trusted to give accurate speeds

Score = 3/10
