SD Card - What's best for Note 3. What categories are supported?

[Huntrowmar]

My N3 shipped today. Want to get a good quality SD card. Not sure what to get. With 4K video, shouldn't you need Category 10 or UHS-1? Or does the note even handle speeds this high? I haven't found any definitive answer. Don't want to spend money on a UHS-1 if the phone only supports Category 6 or 10. Thoughts?

I'm pretty sure it supports both I heard that it also runs with 64GB no problem but I don't think Samsung officially said that it supports it

So does the N3 doesnt support or cant handle the uhs-1 speeds? That's a bummer because I ordered one yesterday

Other post that shows it is not getting UHS-1 Speed. Ready to have my phone here(Verizon), loading the card up tonight.

In another thread about the phone overheating, supposedly people are claiming that with a microsd card inserted, the phone will heat up more noticeably so than without a chip in it. I can't back that up as I don't have a note 3 yet, but I guess it's something to keep in mind?
