2018 Phone - SD Card limited to 18MB/s

Samsung Pro 128GB (95/90 R/W) will only get 18MB/s write speed on the Xperia XZ2 / XZ2 Compact. Spoke to support and they state its a 'hardware limitation'!!.

Surely this kills 4k HDR recording via SD card which is what Sony market these new phones as being capable of??

If you reboot your phone the read speed is faster for a few minutes...* Sony? What did you program wrong?

@Haldi4803 I tested after restart phone. I've got a Read speed 33.93MB/s. Faster a bit but not what I'am expected. 
So i'm sill waiting an answer from Sony staff.

HELP! I got the XZ2 and i have a 64gb card i filled it right up with flac files when i use the sony music app the tracks load slow and are delayed in starting. Also when i went to record a video it just kept spinning like it couldnt save it. I took videos and have had the phone sent away fro repair, even with the videos they couldn't find the problem. I asked if they used a 64bg card with flacs filled up on the card they said no, i've sent my card away to the rapir place now. My point is I have a ZX Premium the card works find in that phone, could this be the card read problem?  I got the phone on a plan for a month now ive been sending it back with problems was a fireware problem the first time along with the SDcard issue. I would of thought a 2018 model would work as well as my XZ Premium from 2017.
