Sandisk 64gb mobile ultra microsd vs Sandisk 64gb ultra microsd

Sorry I've read your thread title 3 times and I have no idea what you are asking. Can you post some links to the product pages?
 
Not sure what it does better, but i couldn't justify anything other than increased capacity at that price. I paid $39.99 for my 64gb and it works great.
 
this is what hes asking...on amazon.com they are offering two sandisk microsd 64gb class 10 options. is the mobile ultra more compatible with the Note 2 than the regular ultra microsd?

SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s with Adapter SDSDQUA-064G-U46A by SanDisk $49.99

SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC Class 10 Memory Card with SD Adapter - Retail Packaging by SanDisk $74.46

I can't even find the mobile listed on Sandisk's site.

But note that the mobile is only fulfilled, not sold, by Amazon. That alone could account for the price difference. Other sellers on Amazon have it for $10 less. It could be that Amazon is just out of stock in their warehouses, I've seen that happen before with other items, they get more and the price drops and then it will say "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com".

Still, I'd like to know the difference, maybe it's just so new that Sandisk hasn't updated their site yet Or maybe it's identical and some marketing jerk thought up the name changes.
 
If you go to Sandisks website one says for cameras and the orther says for mobile devices, but they look the same

SanDisk Ultra
 
Thanks Chaser!! I see where the "mobile" cost more but I don't see where it's performance is any faster than a regular "ultra" class 10 card.

Best Buy does the same thing. Sells a card in cameras and one in mobile but the one in mobile is more expensive but they are same card. The only difference here is that they are actually labeled differently but I am guessing they are the same.... Just a way to try and charge more for the same thing or because it is now considered a "new" product.

I saw that too. I'm just waiting for the flood of people that'll get this "new" card and swear to you it performs 6 million times better, stronger, faster (<~~~ see what I did there :D [some won't get it] than an ultra class 10.

Fulfilled by not sold by Amazon has proven to mean BEWARE to me. I have been burned several times by 3rd party sellers on Amazon but rarely have problems when sold by Amazon.
 
Online shopping is a bit of a crapshoot sometimes. Especially with Amazon. It is the wikipedia of retail stores - meaning that anyone can go on and submit customer images and 3rd party sellers can choose to list a item that is only similar and not exact to the one pictured.
Whatever you do, do not go the Ebay route as the likelihood of getting a counterfeit card is just too large.

Assuming we can trust the customer submitted images and 3rd party resellers on Amazon;
Both will work with the Note 2 or other mobile phone. They are both 'mobile' so the semantics of it is a moot point really (marketing).
The difference I think you are seeing between the 2 x 64GB SDXC cards is the read/write speed or class. The card with only 'I' in the lower right corner is a Class 10 card.
The card with the |_| and a 1 in it (located in the lower left corner) is a UHS-1 compatible card. It is Class 10 unless you are using an interface that is UHS speed compatible (phone, computer, USB reader, etc.) If you have an interface that is UHS compliant you will see write speeds above Class 10 as the bus can increase the clock frequency.
UHS cards are approximately 6 months to a year newer.

To cut through all the technical jargon for you and provide my personal opinion. They are more or less the same card. You may see slightly faster transfer speeds with the UHS card, especially if your computer/transfer medium is set up for UHS compliance you may see a few seconds/minutes faster rate, but the Class 10 card is more or less going to give you the same everyday performance. There are no phones that I am aware of that are UHS compliant so taking advantage of the extra speed is only possible with the card outside the phone. Both are going to be good enough for HD video recording and playback. The difference in the end is more or less negligible in terms of real life in phone use and everyday measures that you will physically, easily notice.

I got it = we old(er) folks gotta stick together :D

just be glad the sd card isn't 6 million dollars. Otherwise, you will be giving up your arm and legs and an eye as well.
