Best micro SD cards for Samsung Galaxy, LG, Motorola, and Xperia phones (2020)
In 1956, IBM introduced the first disk drive in the world. It was as big as a vending machine, it cost more than a house, and it could only store 3.75 megabytes – about the size of a single song in MP3 format. Today, over 60 years later, a smartphone can hold several thousand times more data, yet fits in your jeans’ side pocket. Boy, has technology evolved!
Not all micro SD cards are made equal, however. Not all of them can keep up with the read and write speeds certain tasks can demand – shooting 4K video or quick sequences of photos, for example. Also, micro SD cards come in a broad range of capacities, which might make picking the right one even more tricky. So, we thought we’d make your life easier by gathering up the best micro SD cards for any phone supporting micro SD storage expansion.
Samsung Evo Select
Available in a broad range of capacities, the Samsung Evo Select can provide all the space you may ever need on your phone. The largest offering in the series packs a whopping 512GB! This particular model is also not that expensive (around $85), considering the capacity. You can fit 77,000 high-quality audio tracks, 150,000 high-res photos, or 24 hours of 4K 60fps video on that card. For consumers who don’t need quite as much space, the 128GB micro SD variant is the most cost-efficient in the series, priced at around $25 as of this writing.
The Samsung Evo Select micro SD cards offer up to 100MB/s sequential read speeds, which is more than enough for everyday tasks. These micro SD cards work great with tablets, laptops, action cameras, DSLR’s, drones, smartphones, Android devices and more.

The card is available in capacities of up to 128GB and strikes a good balance between performance and cost.
