Thommo,wasn't the 4K recording at about 54-56 Mbps?And that is about 7MB/s.So a class 10 microSD should be ok.But the one he got is super good.

You have more than enough,do not worry.Class 10 would have been good also.

[Thommo]

As a rule of thumb a UHS1 or UHS3 card are best to use with 4K and that is because it has a constant minimum write speed which won't drop below the stated or advertised speed - A regular class10 card does have a minimum write speed of 10MB/s but is this constant - Some say yes and some say no - Google may help you decide if you search what other people have and are saying but that's about the only advice I can give

Indeed you cannot be sure.I have downloaded a benchmark for SD to test mine and did about 4-5 tests in 30 minutes,every time I got over 10MB/s,somewhere between 12 and 16.And I have a class 10 microSD.

Ok. I almoast know everything what I need.

What about gaming on sd card like 45 mb/s read and write? Is this card fast enough?

[pitt]

And also what actually sd card speed can be achieved on phone like xperia Z2?

I have got feeling it cant go more than 40-45 mb/s.

One retailer encouraged me to get Sandisk xtreme pro up to 95 mb/s read and up to 90 mb/s write. I read some reviews and people did not have higher score on their phones than 20 mb/s.

R/W speed is system restricted, but it's always optimal to have a fast card, for Z2 any class 10 should work, but of corse the best cards tsted were the SanDisk Ultra for mobile, they give the optimum speed for flagship models, and don't slow down the cam and photo app when wrighting the photo on it. Had the sams. class 8 32GB, but i found the Z2 to be little laggy in camera mode, changed for class 10 sandisk also 32GB and it works smoother, also with movies played back and access times thru commander.
Best test... put a lot of photos on the card, and open gallery with no apps in background, if you notice the miniatures to load slowly and see the loading circle it means card is slow,
quad cored Z2 should show all images immediatly after entering the gallery, when reading speed of card exceeds the speed of the device.

You will not save games to SD anyway,that is not possible.And please keep it to one thread only.

My Z2 failed to handle Samsung 128gb c10 card. Or my card failed to co-operate with my phone... Anyway, I have lost my stuff 2 times. So I simply removed sam-card and now I plan to buy Sony or SanDisk even if more expensive... 😱
