“I just need some general answers to help me find out if this is what I need I'm having a lil trouble finding answers. Hopefully you can help here. 1) I've been seeing slight differences in the name/descriptions of newer microSD cards but I cant find any explanation about what those subtle changes actually mean (esp, to me as a consumer trying to determine which one of these best fits my needs). (i.e., "Class 10" - is '10' a higher quality class than class 1 or is class 1 the top? What's the difference between any of these, bc it's really hard to tell without any explanation/breakdown of what the difference descriptions indicate. It'd definitely help me & no doubt others if someone could do an unbiased comparison based on the jargon found in these descriptions that layman like me don't automatically know. How does this samsung version compare, side-by-side w/ SanDisks versions or even other samsung versions (Pro, evo, extreme) for that matter. 2) I have an SGS5. It came running Android 4. I've been on the samsung bandwagon since I switched from my iPhone 3gs (so, 5 or do yrs). But I really hate the fact that I cannot edit, rename or delete pics or video stored on my sd card or "external storage". I use the quikpic App to view my pics/vid bc of how awesome it was on my previous sgs2 to be able to view AND edit/delete media while viewing it from the app regardless of whether it was stored "internal/external". I had hoped it wouldv been fixed in an update but just updated to 4.4.4 and still having the same prob. So if I take 10 burst pics of my son and want to delete the blurry/poorer pics, instead of swiping btwn multiple similar pics & just hitting delete while looking at the pic I wasn't happy with, I havta quickly memorize the pic title then exit my viewing of th pic & find that title & delete it. That or transfer any pics in question to internal storage. I can delete a pic I'm viewing that way but either way is a huge hassle. I'm rly hoping tht will be fixed somehow w/ the right high quality sd card, perhaps meant for my device & could possibly address this problem. Since samsung makes my pH & now 128GB micro sd cards, can someone tell me if this sd card (or whether any version of samsung or SanDisk micro sd cards will solve this). I'm having trouble finding out about this too. Some Android blogs/forums say it's something that Google is responsible for but I'm not looking to cast blame. I just want it fixed. If samsung sd card does that, then that's what I'll go with. Thank you for any help/answers you can give me”

I just purchased and installed the Samsung - 128GB microSD Class 10 Memory Card for my Samsung Galaxy S5. I'm able to edit and delete the photos stored on it. I researched the card on Youtube and most of the techs said that the SG S5 corrupts SanDisk micro sd cards so I went with the Samsung. Don't know if this answers your question, as I never had a problem with editing my photos on the internal storage nor the external sd card.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Your memory card won't change the way your phone shows you your pics. That's a programming fix needed not a memory issue. If you use up all your memory storage it will run slow and maybe crash and that would be helped by a memory card. Try viewing your pics through your gallery or get a different pic viewer app to see and delete photos differently. Second, samsung phones do not play nice with some memory cards. Mine fried a sandisk before I researched and read that supposedly this is fairly frequent. Recommend you get a samsung brand sd card and it's worth it to get evo at least to minimize lag. To be safe copy to memory card and only delete from phone memory pics you would not be upset to lose if sd card fries. Back up pics regularly to computer or an app like dropbox. Make sure you check your phone specs because many phones can only use a lower capacity card like a 32gb or 64gb. Now as for class of sd cards, Class 10 is the fastest of the 'old style classification'. The new style 'class 1' I have no clue about. If you stick with a Class 10 that is the first and easiest way to start comparing. Now they vary a LOT in any class so next look at read and write speeds which are estimated but should be roughly how it will perform in the real world. Write speed is important for fast picture taking like in bursts and many cards have fast read but slow write comparatively so try to balance what you want out of it. Look for temperature, shock, water and xray resistance. Finally, if your phone does freak out and suddenly seems like everything is gone from your sd card just use the usb charger cable and plug it into your computer. Then just COPY the entire phone file to your computer. Often that's all you need to do to recover what appears to be gone because it actually hasn't been deleted, but just can't be seen by the phone for some glitchy reason. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I can answer the first part of your question I myself use the SanDisk extreme 16GB and I love it, has not let me down yet and I will shoot a burst of 10-15 at a time and all shots are clear as the first. Have had well over 1000 photos at a time on the Card and have not filled it yet. I highly recommend it.
