Is your phone made by Samsung? I know certain models had an issue with SD cards but I forget which models they were.
It was Samsung in particular. Wasn’t just that it corrupted the card, it physically damaged it so it was totally unreadable or even detectable in any device. Happened a couple of times.
Had one do the same with an old Nokia (Symbian).
I’ve speculated before though that maybe it’s the abuse the phones get. In particular they’re with me on my MTB rides, including in crashes, and also when skiing, both in tumbles and sub zero conditions. Likewise with my SLR. All could be factors for killing the cards.
Had a few compact cameras though, also used in similar conditions and have the big size SD cards with no problems. It’s the micro-SD and my CF cards that die.
