Which card and size are you using, if any. I remember reading some time ago that adding a SD card tends to slow the whole phone down in general. This is why I haven't decided to add one yet.

512 Samsung extreme cars and no slow down here.
Same as FuMMoD here and no perceptible slow down.

Well that's good to know. I have a spare brand new SanDisk Extreme Plus intended for my GoPro Hero 8 Black that I might just throw in. It is the red and gold card with ratings of V30 A2 3. This card records 4K on my gopro with no issues, so i assume it can handle the phone flawlessly.
I have an integral 512gb and whilst the general phone performance is fine I get the sense that the card performance is not great, one example is netflix stores downloads on the card and I get a spinning wheel during playback almost as In do if I am streaming
There will definitely be a performance lag but it's only noticeable when accessing the sdcard.
This is due to the ufs3.0 internal and transfer speed of the sdcard.
But tbh it is negligible unless you move apps to sdcard. For me I only store backups and media such as videos and photos to sdcard.

Unless the card is faulty then I think the phone is the bottleneck anyway, the S20 cannot take advantage for an A2 card for example so no point spending money on a faster card.
Not moving any apps to SD at all. Not even setting it as a default storage for my camera either. I have my default video set to 4K 30fps, and I have a 5 year old that I'm constantly snapping. So you can imagine how quick the internal storage is going to fill up. This is strictly for me to transfer all my videos to.
Same as unomedman1
I only have a 64gb from my old s8 , & it contains my music and all the files needed for Root , titan backup apps & data , apps in apk form & camera pictures.
Internal drive is for downloads & apps & pictures. I'd never install apps to the sd though
Have two S20's with 128gig Sandisk and Kingston SD cards / no issues.
Running my S20 Ultra with a Samsung Evo Plus 512GB. No slowdown as SD card is only for storing videos which I have download. Plays fine too.

You can't because eventhough you set the SD card as your default camera storage, when you start recording a 4K 60FPS video the camera app will tell you with a message that it will be saved to internal memory.

Nope you cant because its automatically saved on internal storage even you've set it to SD Card as default storage. But its never be a big problem because the A2 SD Card transfer rate are really faster to move yo ur 4K or even 8K videos to your SD Card. But only with atleast A1 or A2 rate MicroSD. In normal MicroSD, it will take a lomg time to move your large files to the external. I'll test the free Samsung Evo+ U3 128gb that i got free from Samsung Galaxy S20 promo when it arrive this week to see the comparison between the both genuine Samsung U3 Evo+ 128GB & Sandisk Extreme Pro A2 128GB and will post it here.

Thanks a lot! Yes, please do the comparison as I am keen to see the results on the S20 ultra. Although, I suspect it would be about the same (going by few the online reviews I found).
Just for kicks, I ran Androbench to test the speed of my Samsung Evo Plus 512GB. It is not too bad compared to cards that I used back in the days of the Galaxy S3. I also ran the test on my internal memory, love the speed of the internal UFS storage. I read that the Note 20 might have even faster internal UFS than the S20.

Hi everybody
I just got my phone yesterday and after inserting my class 2 16gb the phone asks me where i want to save pictures when taken with the camera. Any of you with performance "tests" regarding this so far?
Best regards

class 2 will defininitely not work with HD recording. correct me if im wrong. photo's are okay for that but if you will gonna load pictures in the gallery app i can guarantee you there will be some latency in loading thumbnails.

In your position I would save them on the internal card. As you probably know it will offer a faster transfer rate than the external SD card, especially as your sd card is class 2.
I doubt this will have an impact when taking single shots, but features like burst mode may suffer. Videos are very unlikely to work smoothly.
As your internal memory will have 16gb or more of space I dont see the downside. You can always use a file manager to copy files to the external card if problems arise.
If you are tempted by a faster SD card then this one seems to be universally regarded as the best. In case you are not sure about SD cards class system, an explanation can be found here.
Just an FYI. I had the S7 Edge and this was a known issue. Looks like it carried over to the Note 7. I'm on day two of having my Note 7 and I tested out some 60fps video and it still has that weird choppy/laggy effect that was reported (and confirmed) on the S7 and S7e.
Hopefully this gets fixed sometime soon. It kind of makes the 60fps video useless.
its the same internals, the software engineer just probably tweak it a little to fit the note 7 usage, I'm not surprise tbh.
I just took a 1080p60fps video on my Note7 and it's very smooth. No choppiness.

Are you saving to internal storage or external sd? If the latter, it may have to do with your card's speed.

It's not the speed of my card. It's a class 10. But there is a long thread on XDA for this exact issue with the snapdragon S7.

Have you tried filming with video stabilization turned off? OIS is always on by default, but the Video Stabilization option in the camera settings is for digital stabilization. I noticed my video looks slightly stuttery when I turn it on.
EDIT: nevermind. I tested again. I don't see any stuttering.
EDIT 2: Here, I recorded a video and uploaded to youtube. Be sure to change it to 1080p60 in the YouTube app or on a computer browser. Maybe my eyes aren't picking up on something. I personally don't see any problems. But either way, I'll record in regular 1080p most of the time anyway, so it doesn't matter much to me.
We were watching Amy Schumer on Hulu, hence the laughing in the background.
Oh my SD card there is studdering both viewed while recording and when played back.
When its stored on internal memory it is smooth. My Micro SD card a 200GB Sandisk card, guess it can't keep up with the EVO.

It's not the card speed. That stopped being an issue after we passed class 6. These days, most cards are UHS and plenty fast enough to record 4k and 60fps video.

No choppiness here with 1080p 60fps or Slomo. SD820. Recorded some disc golf today. Perfect.
I have a PNY U3 64gb sdcard. Handled 4k perfect as well.
Not that it makes any difference (wouldn't think)...but for the people with choppiness....curious, what sensor do you have on the rear? Sony or Samsung? Use AIDA64 to find out. It's under "devices". I have a Sony rear shooter and Sammy front.

A class 10 card isn't ideal. Try it on a UHS Class 3. I'm not saying the issue doesn't exist, but that your sd card might be the problem.
Hello.
I 've been reading a lot of (bad) stories with micro sd incompatibilities.
Since i want to use mine as internal storage, i want to be certain that it will work
I am between samsung (the new red pro ones,20mb/sec) and the new toshiba excesior ones (30mb/sec write, 2016 model).
Anyone had any luck with these?
Should they be ntfs formatted when inserted in the tablet?
Thanks in advance.
Hi vadergr,
i tested some different sd cards twoe 64 gb class 10 cards (samsung and lexar), they are verry slow for me. So i decided to buy a sandisk microSD extreme Pro with 64 gb but hab no luck with it, because the card was dead on arrival. So i went to my tech store and by a 128gb Sandisk Ultra, an now i'm fine with it. Fast reading speed (44mb/s) and solid write speed (23mb/s). All in all its ok and the tablet runs verry well with it. I run on Android 7 nougat and use the SD as internal storage.
128gb Sandisk Ultra

I used Memento EXpert 128GB from memorette. I tested it out on PC, make a full read/ write to make sure it has got full capacity and then insert into the tablet. One interesting thing is the tablet recognized the card as Lexar Media (which is quite reputable). I formatted it as the internal storage.
So far, apart from heating up during game-plays, it is quite stable.

I did notice longer boot times with the more data i added to the micro sd card. i opted to stay away from internal storage for now.

I'm looking for either a 128gb or 256gb micro sd card and I want to have the same experience as using the internal storage for recording 4k/superslowmo and using apps on sd cards.
But I don't want to overspend either, I don't know up to what speeds/classes the phone can utilize.
There's cards like Samsung evo plus 128gb for 60euro, cards like lexar 1000x 128gb at 95 euro with UHS II Bus all kinds of things I got lost in the sea of classes and speeds.

Have you tried any other micro SDs or just the Samsung Evo+? I was thinking about getting the 2017 one, Samsung Evo Plus 256GB, but it seems like it will probably be the same, I think the only difference between that 2016 version is 10MB/s on Read speed. Would be interesting to see if certain cards do better than others, I would like to know if a A1 rated card also has this problem.
Hey guys. Thanks for all the helpful input. What would you say is the primary benefit of the additional storage of a 128GB to 256GB SD Card? I feel like on other phones without expandable memory, I never really reach capacity on 64GB models. So I probably used more cloud storage out of necessity and just got used to it. What are you guys using all this glorious storage for?

4k por... Oops I mean scientific ebooks etc.
All jokes aside... Having that bit of extra storage can give you the freedom to record, capture and download as you please!
Especially for people like me who hardly use online storage. I have the Samsung Evo Plus 256gb (2017 version) and I have so many 4k HDR10 movies and documentaries stored on it. I also dont have to worry about running out of space by constantly shooting 4k videos.
Having higher storage takes away all the limitations of having to transfer your files whenever you need to download new material.
I'm getting 72mb/read and 40mb/write even though the Micro SD card is capable of achieving higher speeds. This is due to the phone and I hope that android will find a way around this with upcoming updates, unless it's a hardware issue of course.
These speeds are more than enough for regular everyday use as I haven't faced any issues with reading/writing colossal files.
Hope this helps

Hey guys. Can someone please give me their thoughts on the MicroSD card linked below? Thinking of buying but not sure I need 256GB and the price is pretty reasonable on this 200GB. Thoughts?

I see conflicting information. According to Sony the max SD card is 512Gb however almost every site that shows specs for the Xperia 1 lists 1Tb as the max size. For example GSM Arena, which is generally pretty good for that sort of info.
I know for example that my Z Ultra will take 128Gb even though the max size stated by Sony is 64Gb. I just got a 200Gb card for my Z5 Premium and I kind of wish I had tried something bigger, although 200Gb is a lot. I have had the Xperia 1 for a couple months now, and while I do appreciate the 128Gb storage built in, I am getting to the point where I really need some more.
1Tb cards are considerably more pricey than 512Gb cards so it's not something I want to just try and see what happens. That being said I'm not really sure if a 1Tb card fits my budget right now anyway.
Sony website shows 512GB as the max SDcard size.
However in my experience, SD cards larger than the max size stated by the manufacturer have worked just fine. Haven't tried personally on my X1 though.

I'd love to have another TB on the phone but I may end up sticking with 512GB for now just because of cost.
I'm also curious if there is a benefit of getting the A2 speed card over the A1 speed. I've used only A1 speed cards thus far in my phones and cameras, however I imagine that the Xperia 1 may actually be able to make use of the higher speed card.
Any thoughts on that?

I have an A1 card in my X1 right now, and I'm satisfied with the speed, and to be quite honest, I can't see any point in spending extra to get an A2 card since I don't do frequent transfers of data between Internal Storage and SD, nor do I do a lot of 4K video recording to external storage, where I can imagine that faster external storage would be beneficial.
I can assure you that a 1TB micro SD card works on my Xperia 1 flawlessly.
