Help Which MicroSD Class for Best Game Performance

Majeste

Lurker
Hello all,

I want to buy an SD card for my SGS2 and plan to move (or reinstall I'm not sure how to do it right now) apps and games to it so that I have more space for other stuff in internal memory and internal sd card.

16 or 32 GB is fine but they also have classes which is about speed I know. But I don't exactly know if low classes like 4 (minimum 4mb/s speed) will affect gaming performance of the phone.

Does it matter actually or should I not worry about it and just buy 32 GB Class 4 Toshiba microSD? This one is really cheap right now in an online market in Turkey. (Nearly 28 USD).

Thanks in advance.
 
It matters not one jot the class of your card in your phone. The speed meant is when your copying/cutting files to and from it from another hard drive or other storage.

For an example of what I mean a class 2 card could take hours to copy, say 20 gig of music to it a class 10 maybe three quarters of the time. Once copied to and installed in your phone both the class 2 and class 10 would play the songs with no sense of which is which when it comes to speed of access when playing the music.
 
Just a reminder.... If you want to set your camera / video app to save Videos to microSD, then you better get a fast one. That's when copying speed is important.
