Although some Android smartphone manufacturers have ditched the microSD card slot, there are still a good number that haven’t. In case your phone can use a bump in storage, here are our top three microSD card suggestions for your Android smartphone…
The most important thing to remember about purchasing any microSD card for your new smartphone is that it should be SDXC that has at least a U3 speed class rating.
Sandisk Ultra
If you’re looking for a microSD card that will let you add as much storage as possible, Sandisk offers one of the best 400GB cards on the market. You’ll have transfer speeds around 100MB a second which is perfect for all of your needs.
Of course, only a handful of phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ accept cards as large as 400GB. If yours doesn’t, Sandisk offers an entire line of cards that should work with your handset.
