Does class matter for phones?
 

So im shopping online for a 16gb micro sd and I want to know if there is a major benefit to getting a class 6 card, the price is about double. Can this phone actually take advantage of a hi speed card. I hear in future updates you will be able to install apps on the removable storage plus i have a ton of media I want to dump on the phone. I appreciate any insight you guys/girls have.

Re: Does class matter for phones?
 

It will matter most with high-bandwidth applications, such as recording 720p video to the microSD card. You'll also find transferring large files of any kind to and from the card will rely heavily on the class (speed) of the card. The "class" indicates the write speed, i.e., Class 2 = 2MB/s, Class 6 = 6MB/s. I hope that helps. :)

Do we know for sure what the class will be for the card that comes in the box?

Probably a 4, I'd guess.

Re: Does class matter for phones?
 

Its a free 8 gig card so more than likely it will be a class 2.

Re: Does class matter for phones?
 

Yeah, but class 4 isn't much more expensive than 2, and putting a class 2 into this capable of a multimedia device would make it seem slower. I don't think they'd want to do that.

You can pick up a 16gb Class 10 from newegg for like 100 bucks.
