I like the Sandisk 16GB Class2 or Class 4 you can get on Amazon for about $20.00.
If you can get the real version, it performs above the class rating and provides plenty of storage.
I also like the Lexar microsd cards, but they cost more.
Capacity is really up to you, depends on what you plan to use it for. You can use that space for music, videos, photos, ect...

Like all phones, it depends on you. How much do you need for storing all your stuff? Honestly, I was doing okay with a 2gb card until I got an 8gb card. Both gave me the same insufficient feeling. I always have the same memory available(about 300mb) with any amount I use.
@mike and titan.. thanks for your answer... whats the different class 2 and class 4? .and it is fast like copy and paste?, not to much loading to browse in phone?

To learn about what class ratings are supposed to be look at this link...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating
In a nutshell, it's the minimum sequential read/write speed the sd card can achieve.
Unfortunately, the class rating doesn't tell the whole story, there are card that perform much faster than their class rating. Also, many of the cards perform at very slow speeds in random mode, even if they have a high class rating. I find Random 512k block write of at least 1Mb/s is a safe bet. There are many microSD cards that can't achieve this speed and therefore can cause problems.
If you want to know the speed of your card, check out

wow..very informative,,thank you..
I have recently bought this Smartphone, and I am planning to change the original 8GB micro SD card with a 16GB micro SD. But I have no idea what class of memory which suitable for my Xperia Neo.
Should I buy class 2, 4, 6 or 10 ? Cos I don't want it effects on the phone's performance, if I choose the wrong class memory.
Can anyone help me please ? Thanks in advanced !
Im using A-data16gb class 10 in my Neo V ..satisfying solution fo less then 20 €
I got a class 4 32GB Icidu Microsd. It's pretty fast.
class less effects on the phone's performance.
class only determine read and write speed
get class4 for basic
if got budget get class 6 8 10
I bought a Xperia Mini pro SK17i a few days back. It came with a 2GB memory card. I want to upgrade to larger space.
Please tell me should I go for 16GB or 32GB one. Will there be any problems? I mean any slowing down or hanging etc. Also tell me what class of microSD should I buy?
Im using a Class6,32G card on my mini,i think it's fast enough.
It matters how much space you need. Class 4 and above is fast enough for the XMP, not it is just your choice how much space you need . Im using Class 4, 32GB SD Card and I haven't got any slow or problem with loading my music or pictures.
I'm on a 16gb class 6, no problem at all.

Go for a 32 GB one if you think you'll be able to utilise the space. If you pick a class 6 or 10 card you really shouldn't have any speed problems. Obviously a higher class card is faster - class 10 FTW!
Micro SD Card Suggestion
Well 16Gb or 32GB is based on your requirements
My suggestion would be 16GBclass 4 or 16GBclass 6
I am using 16GBclass 6 on my SE Live With Walkman and it has no problem
for me
Class are based on their speeds
Class2 -->2Mbs
Class4 -->4Mbs
Class6 -->6Mbs
Class8 -->8Mbs
Class10 -->10Mbs
Use "Crystalbenchmark" to test the read/write speed of your cards
First check the read/write speed of your 2GB sd card that came with
your device and this help you to differentiate speeds of different class
types

These are only minimal speeds, these can be higher.
I have Class 4, Sandisk, 16GB, Write is 8.7 MB/s, Read 28.9 MB/s.
There's a thread on this subject somewhere here.
What you need to consider as well is access speed.
Higher class cards transfer faster, but to do so, data has to be accessedfirst, and that takes longer with class 10 than class 2 for example.
That means, if you are goinf to work a lot with larger files, it pays you to get a high class, if on the other hand, you are going to onstall apps to work with small files a lot, it will actually slow you down.
Edit:
I've found it, anybody interested should look at the tests results

Hi has anyone bought a 32GB microSDHC card for their Mini/Pro? How is it?
I'm using a 32GB card to store my music on the phone. No problems with it. Works fine and it is just a class 4 card.
Gesendet von meinem Xperia Mini Pro
Thank you, that is great news. Does it take long for the Xperia Mini to read your SD card when you play music? 1 second, 5 seconds or?

32GB Would Work Fine But I Would Suggest Yuh To Buy A Higher Class MicroSD!!
Im Using 16GB Class 10 Card On My Xperia Mini!! Never Had Any Problem...!
Go For Atleast Class 6 or Above If Ur Looking For Performance Too...!
Would Cost Yuh A Lil Bit Of More Money But Would Worth It...!=)

Music just comes from speakers/headphones. No lag for me, so don't worry about the speed.
Says the person who has Class 4 16GB SDcard.
sorry i am a newbee..but could u tell me how to know whether the card is class 4 or 6 will it be written on memory card cover? or it depends on company which manufacture it?
It will be printed on card.(look for a big C numeral will be inside it)
Class 4 is sufficient. Class 6 is gud nd economical. Im using class 4 8gb, no issues

Time to report back!
Well I got a 32GB San Disk Class 4 and...it's brilliant...the music library doesn't need any time to load...it's all ready...and after synching music, it only has to load what's changed (sounds simple, but not all devices are do that, trust me!) so I'm very happy with it...the bottleneck so to speak is now the Sony music app...it doesn't connect very well to Media Go. I'll save that moaning for the right thread lol
p.s. there are many threads on here about testing the diffferent class performance of SD cards and Class 4 San Disk was by far the best...other class 10s did not perform better reading and writing...they performed worse. Very happy with class 4. I got it on ebay for 23€ by the way, too expensive in the shops.
it depend on brand also. scandisk class 4 higher speed than other brand with the same class.

Whatever you do don't use Sony Media Go to transfer music ... it keeps duplicating songs on my SD and screwing other stuff up...I've given up on it for now. Songbird does a good job.
Does our phone supports a 64gb class 6 SD card?
Sent from my SK17a using xda premium
No I believe the phone officially supports only up to 32GB...beyond that is risky.

Using a Transcend 32gb MicroSDHC Class 10.
Works flawlessly and surprisingly fast (I've never had a class 10 before), though as with most, if not all, storage media, it becomes fragmented, thus I defrag once in a while..

1. Yes, max 32GB. Doesn't matter which type.

Well true is normal micro sd have max 2gb microsdthc 4-32gb theses 2 formats are oficialy supported. Also few guys trying use sdxc (64gb and above) on multiple android device include xperia mini and when theses card are formated in phone on fat32 file system they just work but not with full speed. I see also from some1 sdxc need other votage and this use is risk. I try find this info later and maybe i test it self.

Any microSD card til 32GB work good.
Bigger than 32GB is officially not supported, even though it might or might not work.
All classes work, Class just shows the read/write speed of the sdcard.

sir , i am using live with walkman ,i want to go for 32 gb ultra sandisk memory card ,can you tell does it support or not ?
any 32gb sd card type is supported by your device
but the max gb for our device is 32.
mine is 32gb class 4 and it works..
and difference in class is only the read/write speeds but class 4 is enough for small not expensive smartphone
