Need advice micro SD card

alex00752 — Thu, 14 May 2015 13:36:19 GMT

I need an advice from you all regarding two micro sd cards.

I want to buy a 32 GB Micro SD card for my Z1 and i have two choices:

One is a Sony Micro SD HC I card Class 10, U1, rated at 40MB/s speed

and the other is:

Kingstone Micro SD HC I card, class 10, U3, rated at 90MB/s Wr and 80MB/s R

I know that the Kingston is rated with more speed but beside that is the Sony brand reliable in the SD card dependent? In the past i used in my old Sony Ericsson phones M2 cards from Sony and i didn't have any problems. For some time i use Kingstone SD cards / Flash drives etc. and i can trust the brand because is excellent, didn't had any problems. So should i try the Sony card or should I stick with Kingstone.

thanks

On Z1,you don't need the speed of UHS-III. I say you go for the Sony,I have a microSD from Sony (8GB) and works awesome in QX10 and in Z1.

Thanks for the advice. Do you know by any chance what memory chip dose Sony use for the Z1 internal memory (Clsss/sped)?

And if we are at the advice chapter I found that the anti Shatter foil that is on back and front of the Z1 has the logo Printed on it and if you remove the foil the logo goes of.. First of all the anti Shatter foil can be easily replace as if with a normal protective foil? And do you know anything about the logo thing?.

I'm very obsessed with the scratches and for a year i didn't get any scratch on my screen and now because i dropped my z1 on the table(small distance) I got 2 scratches that are bugging me. So I know that in time the protective foil on the screen will slowly get scratches and if I decide to change it can I change it with a normal protective foil or should is search for a original Sony one?

Sorry for the non related questions...

Thank You very much

I do not know,maybe @Rickard can post after the weekend.

As far as I know, ASF can be replaced only in a sony service.

Thanks for the useful info. After some search based on the info you posted I fond a datasheet for the 16 GB KLMAG2GEAC-B001 memory chip in which there is plenty of technical info.
