Questions About the SD Cell Phone Memory Cards

A secure digital (SD) memory card is used to increase the available storage on your cell phone. You can store files such as apps, music, videos, and photos on an SD card micro installed on your phone. eBay carries a wide variety of affordable SD cell phone memory cards, which makes finding the right one for your phone easy.

The greater the speed--meaning the quicker the data is read and written to and from the card--the higher the card price. The Class 4, which reads and writes data at four megabytes per second, is cheaper than the Class 10 SD card of the same size. The Speed Classes are C2, C4, C6, and C10.

UHS-I and UHS-II are new speed class cards for sale. UHS stands for Ultra High Speed. These SD card prices are more expensive. The UHS cards were introduced for recording videos that are high-resolution.

Video Speed Class (V6, V10, V30, V60, and V90) are also new speed classes. Their capture rates are 60 megabytes per second and 90 megabytes per second. They record videos faster than the other speed classes.
