I'm no expert, but most modern Class 10 micro sd cards should be fine. I usually get SanDisk Ultra cards and avoid Integral and PNY, though various cards even from the same manufacturer are so different in their read and write speeds, you are better off analysing sd card performance tables rather than choosing based upon a particular brand.

But as a general rule, most modern Class 10 cards should be fine. Class 4 and 6 are probably not to be recommended. Not sure if there is any benefit to getting UHS cards in this instance, there is no doubt someone better placed than me to answer that.

The A64 can't take advantage of the extra speed from UHS class cards. They'll work, but it's a waste of money.

I was looking at UHS 3 class cards so I could get the best performance, what's the fastest that the A64 supports?

I find that for 'normal' cards, these brands outperforms Sandisk.

Samsung has the pro and pro+ versions so take note on that too.

For Sandisk, the good performing ones are usually the ones higher up on the scale. These cost way more than the other brands' normal ones so it doesn't justify the cost (at least for me).

Btw, if you are going to run Android and be playing games, I'll suggest a higher capacity card (>=32GB).
