This card has performed well in testing, both in my PC
and in a Samsung Galaxy S8+. I have compared it to two other popular cards so
you may make a determination based on your needs.
The cards tested are a
- Samsung 128GB EVO Select
- SanDisk 64GB Extreme Pro
- SanDisk 128GB Ultra
Testing equipment
- Samsung SM-G955U (Galaxy S8+) using A1 SD Bench
- Kingston FCR-HS3 card reader via USB3 port using CrystalDiskMark 5.2.1 x64 (UWP)
The Samsung 128GB EVO Select and SanDisk 64GB Extreme Pro performed comparably at the PC with the SanDisk 128GB Ultra dropping behind in write speed.
- Samsung 128GB EVO Select 93MB/s read and 80MB/s write
- SanDisk 64GB Extreme Pro 93MB/s read and 82MB/s write
- SanDisk 128GB Ultra 90MB/s read and 17MB/s write
On the Galaxy S8+ the speeds really spread out. The SanDisk won for read speed here, but the Samsung clearly beat them in write speeds.
- Samsung 128GB EVO Select 59MB/s read and 40MB/s write
- SanDisk 64GB Extreme Pro 22MB/s read and 8MB/s write
- SanDisk 128GB Ultra 66MB/s read and 16MB/s write
For the mobile platform or basic needs, the Samsung is the clear winner here. At a competitive price and with performance above the competition, I highly recommend this card.

The Samsung EVO Select is basically a re-branded,
Amazon-exclusive version of the highly-rated Samsung EVO Plus microSD cards
(note that the EVO Plus was not the same as the lesser EVO+ line; a confusing
but important distinction). The 64GB and 128GB sizes offer you good bang for
the buck. Buying larger or higher-performance cards is really only appropriate
for power users (and might provide marginally little benefit for phones unable
to read larger sizes and/or leverage higher speeds). Slower and/or smaller
cards are functional but could cause slower overall phone performance.
As a companion to your appropriate smartphone this model has the performance specs required to ensure that it shouldn't negatively impact the operation of your device while giving you the expansion you might need if you're (finally/just starting/already) outgrowing the integrated storage in your phone.
Many smartphone users never require more than the storage integrated into their device. However this purchase is a no-brainer for those who've hit the limit and have the ability to expand memory using SD storage. If you have a phone running Android 6.0 or newer your device is usually especially well-equipped to take advantage of this kind of expansion. In the best case you can search whether your phone supports Adoptable Storage. In the worst case you can move pictures, default storage folders, and apps on a case-by-case basis.

Great micro SD card. I bought this for my Galaxy S8
and Note 4 since I keep running out of memory clicking lot of pics.
I specifically needed a UHS-I speed grade U3 for 4K video recording. This works great with my phone.
The read speed around ~93MB/s little less than the advertised 100MB/s. But the write speed was ~66MB/s which is more than the advertised 60MB/s which is amazing. It meets the requirements for U3 speed class.
The cost is lowest I've seen among all branded companies for a U3 speed class micro SD cards.
I have no complaints with the product and I highly recommend everyone to buy this.

Not sure what problems some other people had, maybe
doing crystal mark through their phone via a usb cable instead of directly in a
desktop? I got faster than advertised speeds, great value at $22 for 64GB (see
photo). I have the 128GB version too, even slightly faster.
You have to spend double or triple this price to get much closer to 100/100 speeds, the top you can currently get with an SD card- Sandisk Extreme Pro, which are more popular in the non-Micro format for pro photographers and such.

The Select Card I just bought was Produced and
packaged by SAMSUNG 100% : ) PLEASE DO NOT PUT IN THE COMMENTS SECTION PLEASE.
JUST LOOK INTO THIS AMAZON I MAY BE TOTALLY WRONG????I found something out
yesterday, about two years ago I bought a sleuth of SAMSUNG micro SD Cards.
About $300.00 worth. The kind of SAMSUNG cards I bought was the White and Gray
PRO series. Which are now Black. All SAMSUNG Micro SD Cars are made in the
Philippines, and the adapters are ALL made in China. I just bought the Samsung
128GB Select Micro SD card. So, on the back of that Micro SD card
says,"Made in the Philippines, and adapter made in China. The ONLY GENUINE
Micro SD Cards all say the words I have just gone over in the places I have
said. I looked at the 8 SAMSUNG??? PRO White and Gray color Micro SD Cards I
bought. These cards all say, "MADE IN KOREA". Take a look at your
fake Gray and white SAMSUNG?? Micro SD Cards, I bet they say the same thing.
The description of the real Micro SD Cards were described to me by a SAMSUNG
Representative.O, so this is why these white and gray cards broke two of my
$800.00 and up SAMSUNG Cell Phones. This will probably not make it to the
Comment pages. I don't want the hundred thousand to know the richest man in the
World ever sold FAKE SAMSUNG MICRO SD CARDS. This is written for the person who
proofreads these comments. Because if it did make it to the comment section I
would get sued by the Richest man in the world ever. Then, of course, SAMSUNG
would want a part of my net value also, which is in the neighborhood of $70.000
big bucks ha. I like Amazon they have great service the owner is self-made, I
am just mad I was taken advantage of by a fake SAMSUNG Miro SD card
distributor.
