MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I've just got a Moto G 3rd Gen phone, Android 6.0 and it's telling me that I need an SD card to load more apps. That's fair enough.
It's a micro SD card I need. I'm not a heavy user of the phone, just browsing, email, a bit of Strava, maybe, to find out where I've been, and to find out where I am, but I use Spotify offline as well as Double Twist.
Totally confused by sizes and speeds of cards, and prices. I could go to Tesco and buy the biggest and fastest but that's going to be a waste of cash. What do I need and where from?
Its worth get a decent branded one rather than an ebay cheapy/fake. Speed won't be a big issue and that usage maybe a 16 or 32Gb card would be fine. If you can get a 64gb in budget them there is no harm. I find the extra space useful for downloading maps
I always use 7 Day Shop. Cheap and reliable.

Avoid Ebay, there are a lot of dodgy cards on there.
Anything'll work. Never had any trouble with Sandisk/Samsung/Toshiba/Kingston/etc. Prices these days mean there's not much point buying anything smaller than a fast 32GB card IMO, unless you're really cost-conscious. FWIW the G3 will work fine with a 128GB card, which is what I use as it's big enough to store all my music on.
Personally I'd go for a decent brand card 16Gb and get a class 10 or better.
Even with branded ones they can and do fail leading to data loss.
Remember to back up your data manually or use cloud backup.
I forgot to do mine for awhile then sods law the card died and I lost a lot of photos 🙁

+1 for the source, but for the same price you might as well have a fast one:

Kingston is a very good way to lose your data 🙂
Buy a Sandisk card from a reputable supplier. Life's too short to cock about with cheap crap SD cards.
I took Cougar's message to heart. Sandisk from Tesco. Probably paid over the odds but no messing about.
I use MyMemory and MobyMemory and choose Sandisc, I find them both usually cheaper than 7dayshop.
TBF, Tesco aren't [i]that[/i] badly priced, especially if you go for something on offer. I was looking the other day and was pleasantly surprised that they seem to have mostly stopped massively gouging on SD cards and USB pendrives.
