Buying query: Which microSD to choose?

I want to buy a 16GB micro SD card for my phone since I find the 8GB sufficient but does not look so hopeful in the future.

Its been 4 months that I have been putting off this purchase but finally I have the resolve to buy it. Also I will root my phone in the coming weeks and doing so with a new mem card feels more ideal.

Firstly, I want to know which class of memory card to choose:

Class 4
Class 6
Class 10

Actually its been already discussed and concluded that a class 4 is sufficient but what if they are priced similarly. This leads to my second query. Which brand to choose? (found only these)

Sandisk (4)
Transcend (4,10)
Samsung (6)
Verbatim (10)

Here are the links, I have gathered:
C4: *www.theitbazaar.com/store/our-shop...age=flypage.tpl&product_id=508&category_id=76 or Flipkart.com: SanDisk Memory Card 16 GB MicroSDHC 16GB: Memory Card
C6: *www.theitbazaar.com/store/our-shop...age=flypage.tpl&product_id=621&category_id=76
C10: *www.theitbazaar.com/store/our-shop...age=flypage.tpl&product_id=624&category_id=76

Thanks

I would say go the sandisk class 4 one.
Me and my room mate are using this card (16 Gb) and have found no problems with it so far. Its fast enough for Android. I havent benchmarked it, but i do get more than 4 Mb/s read/write speeds from it.

Sandisk (4)
Transcend (4,10) seem to be a good choice. I have used these two brands & never had any complaints about them.

Umm I ordered the Verbatim class 10 card. I hope it is fine. I didn't get any response so went to xda and decided randomly to go for it.

Got it for 1200 bucks.

Thanks guys

^^ Congrats on your purchase!!

My Sandisk Class4 SDHC outplays Transcend Class10 SDHC. (I am not talking about MicroSDHC)

I have a question.
Which is more faster, a smartphone's internal memory or a MicroSD card ?

8/16gb Class 10 for a great price :

Flipkart.com: Transcend Memory Card 16 GB MicroSDHC 16GB Class 10: Memory Card

Flipkart.com: Transcend Memory Card 8 GB MicroSDHC 8GB Class 10: Memory Card

O

Will this help?...................!

" The Speed Class Rating is the official unit of speed measurement for SD Cards, defined by the SD Association. The Class number represents a multiple of 8 Mbit/s (1 MB/s), the least sustained write speeds for a card in a fragmented state (Class 2, 4, 6) or the minimum non-fragmented sequential write speed (Class 10).[17]

These are the ratings of all currently available cards:[14][24]
Class Speed
SDHC Speed Class 2.svg Class 2 2 MB/s
SDHC Speed Class 4.svg Class 4 4 MB/s
SDHC Speed Class 6.svg Class 6 6 MB/s
SDHC Speed Class 10.svg Class 10 10 MB/s."

Thanks bro already got this:

good one. do post some benchmark results, if you can.

Definitely. I think we all should do benches for our cards. In case (gulp!) the class 10 card works the same as class 4 then... I would have just trolled myself

Can you use some tools to measure the card speeds. I suppose its SD tools or something. Just check xda.

As for your query, it is safe to assume that the internal memory is faster and I believe so too. But again that is my assumption rather than a hard fact.
