Hello Folks, SD Card question

[carlarcher]

Absolutely new to cellphones, never held one before and was using a hardwired landline all my life. Last week got a ZTE Quest for starters and was wondering if the SDcard is just the typical off the shelf one or does it have to have certain specs, speed etc.

Thanks!

You will want to get the fastest card from a major brand that you can afford. Check out this article for some tips on some good ones: The best microSD cards for the Galaxy S7 | Android Central

Thank you all for the welcome! It's very exciting starting out learning, it's like being suddenly dropped in a strange town where nothing is familiar.

You get what you pay for.... The actual chips inside these things are made by a very small number of companies... the best ones get sold off at the highest price to the big name brands, the ones that have quality control issues are rated and categorized and sold in bulk to discount brands. So a bargain basement priced SD is priced that way because the manufacturer of origin deemed it to be defective.. not defective enough to toss it in the trash, but defective enough to not bother their highest paying vendors by passing it on to them. It may run, and run reliably, for years... but it really is a game of russian roulette with those things.
