If yo7 can spare out some extra cash since its a one time investment only, go for samsung microsd pro series they give speed of about 466x,

Sandisk @ class 10 is 200x,

Other alternatives are transcend @ 300x and strontium @ 400x..

The thing is class 10 means you will get a min speed of 10 mbps write and class 6 means a min speed of 6 mbps..

Beyond class 10 is this x classification.

Search microsd on wikipedia and you can know everything.

Sandisk gives a speed of 12 to 13 write speed and a max of 30 mbps read

While samsung gives 20 mbps write and 70 mbps read and with 10 yrs warranty

Ok, just installed the new firmware (thanks to moshikko for the google drive link ￼).

Here is my first impression:

1. Camera and gallery lag are totally gone ￼

2. Contacts lag is gone!

Other than that, haven't noticed any changes yet.

how about this card
[Galaxy S 4 General] guitarmafia:
Transcend is also good but samsung cards r the best..if i have to rank them then

1. Samsung

2. Scandisk

3. Transcend

4. Sony,etc.

But some ppl hv issues with scandisk..their quality control is not very good so u cn end up with a faulty or a partially faulty card..

Samsung is the best choice..so i say go for it..

Source: i have atleast 1 of each.. so m speaking as per my experience..it cud differ for other ppl..

Same pinch about the date...:D
[Galaxy S 4 General] danveer:
I checked your link and they are not mentioning there speed in mb's so I cant make out there speed in x...

Read the below screenshot to make out what this class and what this x means ( source-wikipedia )

Imho if I was to go for a rating it will be like this

On basis of speed

1 sammy

2 strontium, transcend (both are almost same)

3 sandisk

On basis of reliability or brand image

1 sammy, sandisk

2 strontium, transcend..

just check various sites for the speed of the mem card, comapre it with other brands and make your decision...

Here is also a screenshot of how x rating is used..

whether thy are marked randomly in different colors or do they mean something else. i know its a weird question but was just curious to know.

Quick question to everyone what difference does it make in praticle life for the next one year if ur device scores 26k in antutu benchmark or it scores 32k in antutu benchmark, after may be one year down the line it will but as of now none so why this mad rush on chosing a phone on pure chip speed

I have a Ferrari in India or a mercedez e class it does not matter because the roads negate any advantage the ferrari may have on speed so just chill and relax

But this is bad marketing for Samsung its going to make a lot of Samsung fans angry and may be switch over from it

Oh ofc its no replacement for vita..vita hs a selection of very high quality games..comapared to vita android has nothing to offer yet..

But i must say it feels way better than vita...i mean after playing for an hour or so my hands get all tired on vita..but on moga pro u cn play till ur phones battery die...

And yeah the price is a bit high..but its probably worth it..i mean the controller is very high quality..last night i was comparing it to my bro's xbox controller..and it ws the first time i thought yeah xbox really is cheap..thats y v shud stick 2 pc for core gaming..lol..

[Galaxy S 4 General] guitarmafia:
Well i bought vita cuz i had a psp so thought giving vita a try....not very impressed with it (the price suggest otherwise)but good for gaming on the go..

And almost all hd gameloft games work with it..any fps will work with it(those r the olny ones i tried..like mc4,nova3..) and third person rpgs too..like dark knight,wild blood etc..its not possible to list all of them..moga support a huge number of games..though if u connect moga in hid mode..then it ll work with anything..supported or not..

[Galaxy S 4 General] seltaeb:
Neat. Any idea if it works with emulators? (SNES, Gameboy etc). I am old school that way and would love if I can play those with a controller on the phone. Right now I mostly play those on the PC / Mac, because softkeys are a bit problematic on the phone.

Abt Vita: Yes, it was a bit of a let down mainly because the Vita-exclusive big titles are limited.

PS: From your username -- do you play the guitar? I do (or rather used to, till I had a kid a couple of yrs back) :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] guitarmafia:
Yup..moga works with everything..like i told u if u connect it in hid mode(there r 2 modes 1 for moga enhanced games and 2 for everything else) u cn control about everything(even phone navigation like in settings etc)..it works with all those emulators too..i doubt if there is anything u cant control cuz its drivers r natively built in2 android api..

And the reason vita doesnt hv many exclusives is cuz it hasnt sold much..sony priced it too high..i mean even ps3 is cheapr than a vita..its stupid(evn then i bought it lol..guess m stupid too..but when it comes to gaming m a bit naive..u shud check out my pc config..or even my laptop's)..

And yeah i play guitar..lead and rythm both..mostly metal..sometimes hard rock..but not playing much these days..band split up..and everybody is busy these days with studies/jobs...

The phone is plagued with

1. Sound issues

2. Network instabilities

3. Caller from other side doesnt get to hear me. This happens on stock kernel...

4. Overheating even on 1GHz speed.

Its a joke from samsung... they are Alpha testing thier chipset on Countries where customer doesnt get refund easily... Anyways their ultimate weapen is to use A15s 1 second per day and use A7s all the time. By that logic it will be a downgrade to my Note2 A9s at 1.6Ghz...
