Not a fast card. If you are lucky you might get 20mbs write speed, but I doubt it.

Using XDA to unleash the power of Android on my S6 Edge Plus & HTC One M9

---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

You can use PayPal, and if it's not legit you can get your money back. I would use a credit card through PayPal just to have another layer of protection.

Is there anyone who has received their S7 or S7 Edge have a UHS-II card that they can test to see if it will support the faster speed. Samsung is being extremely evasive about this. It may be because it does support UHS-II, but they want to sell their UHS-I cards and don't want people buying a faster UHS-II card for less.

it doesn't look fake although they don't have a certificate. However, since they're chinese, my main concern would be about the card.. Is the card a genuine sandisk one or a fake?

I read their T&Cs and it doesn't seem to be easy to get a refund if you have an issue.

microSD Hostspeed

Can anyone test what the maximum speed for read and write to the microSD is? I know that the Samsung Pro+ allows 95 and 90 Mbps, but there are already faster cards out there. So I wanna know what the fastes microSD speed is that the S7 can handle.

Thanks for providing the video. It just goes to show that benchmarks are not very accurate. It also shows what a poor job Samsung did with the reader in the S7. That really sucks that they make a pretty good card but can't put a good reader in their very high priced flagship phone. I'm getting one anyway, but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't like a better reader. I would like to see a comparison between the LG G4, HTC ONE M9, and S7 Edge with the same Samsung Pro Plus card.

I only say the G4 and M9 because their next phones aren't out yet.

Not bad. Probably good enough for 4K video recording. And if not 4K recording, then more than good enough for 1080P recording and photo taking. Rethinking what I'm going to get, and I think I'm going to get the Samsung Pro Plus since it's the most widely available here. and I can just pick it up on the day I get my phone. If I get the Lexar 1800x or the new Sandisk Extreme Pro, will probably have to wait 2+ weeks for them.

Concerning the Samsung Pro + 128 GM microSD, I noticed that Bestbuy had price matched the Samsung price of 89.99. I called Samsung to cancel my order. They told me it would take 3 business days to cancel my order. I asked her what were the chances of the order canceling before the chip shipped and she said that they were back ordered until 3/18 so it shouldn't be a problem. I then immediately purchased one at best buy and I'm on my way to pick it up right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
FWIW, any card rated U3 is rated to be fast enough for 4K video. It guarantees at least 30MB/s writing and the SD association spec for speed classes lists U3 as sufficient for 4K video.

As it turns out, my experiments with recording 4K video on the S7 Edge only achieved a bitrate of about 6MB/s so it is probably reasonable to use a U1 rated card (10MB/s) for 4K video on the phone.

What is the speed when you copy a big file from the internal memory of the S7 to the Lexar sd card?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jabok:
What tool would I use to measure that? I use an old version of ES Explorer (don't like the new one) and it won't copy the file (379Mb). Using the built in "My Files", it copies it in about 8-9 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pierre118:
You can use FX Explorer. I use that for years now and i like it very much.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jabok:
First phone I've had with an SD slot in years (been using Nexus devices) and apparently I have to grant access to user installed apps to write to the card - but FX won't grant access, following it's instructions, for some reason.

I've tried a few files around 300MB - 380MB and it's in line with the one above, looking at a stopwatch (low tech! ;) ) around 42MB/s. I tried copying 5 files adding up to 1521MB and that copied in 42s, so around 36MB/s
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pierre118:
Thanks for testing this! Look like a very fast SD card. No slow wake problems?

I read in some other thread that we are not allowed to write in some folders of the SD card. Maybe somebody can give some more information about this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ice5192:
Goodness.

From all this reading im so confused everyone is saying this and that is slow...

I dont do much but music and photos what would be ideal for me to buy...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jabok:
Not sure what "slow wake" is - but I'm guessing it means the phone is slow to wake up when you press home/power? I had the phone a day before I put the card in on Wednesday and have noticed nothing untoward since I did put the card in - so I'd say there are no slow wake issues, at least for me. :)

There are definitely issues with third party tools for me - FX won't grant access at all. I downloaded the latest ES File Explorer and it did grant access but will only create 0 byte files on the copy. The built in app "My Files" works fine though. :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pierre118:
That's exactly what i meant with slow wake :)

So Samsung has decided to give 3rd-party apps different permissions(no permissions?) then their own 'My Files'. This was on my Note 3 and Note 4 the same, but after rooting it the problem could be solved. But, because I want to use Samsung Pay in the future I decided not to root my S7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ekjl:
I ended up buying the 64GB Lexar 1800x USH-II. Regardless if the phone doesn't support UHS-II, you will still get a faster speed on UHS-I and faster than any other card you can buy.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
That read speed is only possible if the card reader has the extra pins for UHS-II. Someone had said that they heard it did not have those pins, but this would be a clear indication that it does. Have you done any large file copies from the card to the internal storage? (which will be limited by the write speed of the internal storage, but that should be in the 150MB/s range)

Can you try AndroBench as well and see what that gives?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jbfountain:
I bought the Samsung Pro+ because I do not believe that the S7 or S7 Edge has UHS-II, but using a older version of ESFile Explorer I transfer 2.5gb of music. ESFile Explorer reported between 57 and 60 MB/s. I didn't time it, but it took much less than a minute.

Edit: I don't know about the rest of you, but I got a notification "SD card" "For transferring photos and media" I clicked on it and it lets me move folders to the SD card, and the system recognizes the changes.

I hope this information helps someone.. So if you use your Samsung pay to qualify to get their current promotion you can get a $30 gift card to a select few places.. I chose best buy.. Right now best buy has a promotion on Samsung Evo+ 128gb sdcard.. It's in sale for 49.99 which usually is 109.99.. If you use the 30 from a best buy gift card from Samsung pay you will pay $24 for a 128gb sdcard.. Which in my opinion is a steal.. Hope this helps..

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jabok:
I installed Androbench and I can't see an option in there to bench the SD card? :silly:

I copied those 5 files adding up to 1521MB again and it was consistent in write speed - about 41s (37MB/s). I copied them back to another location on internal and it took about 22s (so only about 72MB/s) - about half of what you were expecting? Perhaps A1 SD Bench isn't working right on this device/card yet? I don't know - if you can advise on anything else to try, I'd be happy to. :)

Edit: Forgive me, A1 SD bench, for some reason is listing SD Card, SD Card, Internal Memory and RAM (sometimes it even adds on a THIRD SD card that seems to be the same as Internal Memory again). The second SD Card and Internal Memory seem to be (roughly) the same thing but bench differently. The first SD Card is actually the Lexar and benches at 65.97MB/s and 40.36MB/s. I apologise for the earlier information - I'm pretty sure A1 SD Bench is being flaky with me as I don't remember these multiple SD card listings the first time I used it!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
First you need to go to the settings tab and choose the partition for the SD card - on mine it's something with 0000-0000 in the name.

Then just run a full benchmark and it tests a bunch of things, one of which is sequential and random read/writes (and then does a bunch of SQL, browser, camera, miscellaneous benchmarks which aren't interesting for our purposes here).

Yes, their labeling is very confusing. They do list the sizes so you can tell which is which (unless you are benchmarking a 24gb card, which would be hard to find).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
You might want to revise the Lexar 1000x numbers, the post following yours identifies that the speeds were being measured on the wrong partition.

(And at some point I should probably start collecting benchmark result links in the OP. I'll work on that soon...)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jabok:
Yeah, I did go through the settings, there was nothing there - it required a reboot to pick up the card, assuming /storage/1473-F1BC is it. Now it won't run against that, crashes after a few seconds. :crying:

A1 SD is more than a labelling issue - it's very flaky with me! Just been doing various things like a test with reboot and it will assign values from a tested device to a different one after the reboot.

Anyway, the 5 big file copies I did is "real world" I guess... sorry for any confusion I've caused with this testing! :silly:

All this stress of finding out who or what is faster. For the average person that has questions ill make it all simple..

1) get a good brand sd card

2) get the size you want

3) unless you plan on transferring files to and from your phone ALL the time and very impatient (ie waiting a minute or 2 will kill you), then worry about faster read/write speeds.

4) Most cards will do writes of 15MB and up which is fine with HD and 4K recording. Having a card do 1000MB/s write is not going to change the fixed bit-rate the s7 records in. Its like putting a prius vs a lambo . Lambo can go much faster but if the speed limit is 35, both will do it.

The only other thing that can affect and is important is burst shots from the camera, but that look like Samsung sends those to the internal memory..

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] lerac:
Ok guys I have been reading these pages back and forward and everybody seems to make their own choice of course. I am looking for something that has best of both worlds fast but still has the space I need. Yeah I know what is fast depends on what you are doing but since I do all kind of things I don't know so I rather be prepared instead of annoyed being limited. Meaning I am looking for 128GB card limiting loads of options. I also noticed browsing online using benchmark tools is pointless because in real life test numbers can be totally different.

After hours of research I found 1 guy claiming to have talked to samsung for more than 20 minutes to get to know whether the samsung galaxy s7 has Samsung UHS-I or UHS-II build in. the conclusion was it has UHS-I.

Now there are 2 options if you want the fastest not paying 200 dollars for lexar 1800x:

- Samsung 128GB microSDXC Pro Plus UHS-I U3. 88 euro's.

- Lexar 128GB Micro SD 1000x UHS-II U3. 94 euro's.

I am really in doubt between these 2. The lexar also is backwards compatible with UHS1. I was wondering that maybe it is worth it paying a couple of euro's extra for lexar yust to have the option when it is not in s7 or in future phone that will support UHS2. On top of it you also get usb card reader along with it.

What do you guys suggest. Perhaps backwards compatibilty will cause it to work slower? I have no idea. I can find very little to no information about these 2 cards compared to each other. Especially related to Galaxy S7.
