Hello Digitans,

It is often advised to me in the past that if I have a phone that has an external storage capacity,
I should restrict myself to buying a memory card which would be lesser than the maximum
storage capacity allowed . ( For eg: If the phone allows 64GB, better buy 32GB card ; or if the phone allows 32GB better go for a 16GB card ). Is there any reason for these suggestions? Can't we go for a maximum storage capacity
card and make sure it is not crammed with data to fill it up..??

I got a new Lumia 720 - opted for this model since it has external memory support upto 64GB ( apart from quality battery life). Can I buy a 64GB card for the phone?

Use any card you want. But, If you fill it, The phone might take longer time to show the files on MC.

For a trouble free experience, buy a 64gb class 10 microSD card.

you can buy any micro SD card according to your storage requirement but make sure its class 10 or class 6. class 8 are rarely found in the market.
