The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 comes with 128GB of storage, double that of previous Samsung phones. And while that’s enough for most, some users will need a microSD card to get more space. These are the best Galaxy Note 9 microSD cards and what you need to know before you buy.
We’ll go over the microSD storage sizes, speeds, and ratings, then share a video on how to quickly insert an SD card into the Note 9.
A microSD is highly recommended if you have a lot of music or plan to shoot tons of 4K or slow motion videos. We found a few for under $20 that will give you a little more space. Or spend over $150 for class-leading speeds and over 500GB of storage.
Besides the obvious increase in storage, one of the main reasons to buy a microSD card is for better performance. Essentially, they help apps run smoothly, games open faster, and even improve 4k video quality. It also automatically saves photos and videos to SD when you add a phone, making this whole process very simple.
Note that most retail stores like Verizon, AT&T, and even Best Buy are overpriced. However, Best Buy will be the same price as other stores. Then use the out-of-the-box SIM slot removal tool to eject the SIM tray and insert the SD card. Slide the tray back in and you’ll instantly add another 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB space within seconds.
In closing, the recommended size for most owners is 64GB. This gives you a good storage upgrade without breaking the bank. Or pay a little more to get more space or even better performance. Choose from our slideshow below and enjoy everything the Galaxy Note 9 can do.
