MicroSD Cards for Mobile: Price, Capacity and Brand Guide

Although their extinction is looming on the horizon, memory cards are still an important element for many users’ mobile phones. They allow you to expand storage when it is scarce, and are a kind of life saver when a mobile breaks down, but photos or other personal files are stored in it. That is why we wanted to take a look at how the prices of some of these microSD cards are right now .

MicroSD Cards for Mobile: Price, Capacity and Brand Guide

It is a fact that most of the high-end terminals on the market do not include a memory card slot. In this regard we can find two explanations. The first is that mobiles include increasingly high storage capacities, leaving extreme storage in the background. The second reason is that manufacturers save a piece of hardware, which can sometimes weigh down the user experience, even if the fault lies with the user or the type of card and not the mobile.

The types of microSD on the market

Before buying a microSD card for our mobile, we must look (in addition to the obvious that it supports it) the type of microSD card supported and the maximum capacity. We will find these data in the technical details of our mobile, either in its manual or on the manufacturer’s official website. However, let’s remember the type of classes that we can find when buying a microSD card.

  • Class 2: allows a minimum speed of 2 MB / s.
  • Class 4: Its minimum read speed is 4 MB / s.
  • Class 6: It has a speed of 6 MB / s.
  • Class 10 : its minimum read speed is 10MB / s with U1 and V10 certification.

Class 2 Cards

Class 2 microSD cards are the oldest and we can say that they are practically not worth your purchase . Their prices are even out of date and we will be able to find better, faster and higher capacity options in the higher classes. Still, here are some examples of the ones available right now on Amazon.

  • Transcend TS4GUSDC2 4GB for 10 euros
  • 8GB Hama + adapter for 18.98 euros
  • Verbatim 16GB + adapter for 50.98 euros

Class 4 Cards

The offer is greater in this case, with brands like SanDisk leading the market but with rivals such as Transcend or Intenso within walking distance. In this case, the cards we find are much cheaper, faster and with greater capacity than the previous ones, but they are still far from the best on the market.

  • 4GB SanDisk for 4.55 euros
  • 4GB V7 + adapter for 6.59 euros
  • Intense 8GB + adapter for 7.38 euros
  • 16GB SanDisk for 7.68 euros
  • Transcend TS32GUSDC4 32GB for 10.13 euros
  • 32 GB SanDisk for 10.54 euros
  • Intense 32GB + adapter for 12.98 euros

Class 6 cards

Something similar to Class 2 happens with Class 6 cards, and that is that they have been left in a limbo in which it is already much more worthwhile to get superior models at a better cost. For this reason, the offer that we find at the moment on Amazon is very scarce and the prices are remote. Even the portal itself recommends that we go up a class when we go to buy a card of this type.

  • 8GB Hama + adapter for 12.98 euros
  • Transcend TS4GUSDHC6 4GB + adapter for 28.91 euros
  • Samsung Plus 32GB for 19.84 euros

Class 10 Cards
