SD card recommendation for S3?

[javier180]

Can Anyone recommend me a SD card that works with the S3 without any issues and contains a lot of storage. I'm pretty new to this whole thing lol

Picked up a Sandisk 32gb for $20 retail price on Amazon.

Buying yours from a reliable retailer because I hear there are counterfeits SD cards out there.

Well can anyone list websites they bought from without having any issues with fakes?

If you absolutely need an SD card and don't want to go through the hassle of worrying about fakes, you can always go to Best Buy and purchase one. That's the route that I took. Of course, its the most expensive route, as I paid $44 for my 16gb sd card. But, I have not had any issues with it. And I have yet to need a bigger card than that, considering the 16gb the S3 comes with, my 50GB of free box.net storage, and my various flash drives that I use with my OTG cable

If you worry about fakes, go to a retailer, or use Newegg/TigerDirect. They are both good e-retailers to shop from.

Bigger cards will not slow down the phone. It's true that SSD and HDD tend to slow down when they get full, but this is not the case with SD cards (atleast if it's used only for files, not booting other OS)

You asked for a good/big card, but then you think 64GB is too big. So what size are you looking for exactly.
