No vex, i do find it difficult to remove my sdcard from my phone, you know android phones takes time to come back on, if you remove the battery.

ITS BY LUCK GUY

ONLY 1 OUT OF 15 WOULD WORK WELL EITHER SANDISK ,SAMSUNG , KINGSTON OR LG

DO NOT BUY IT ONLINE BECAUSE 99% ARE FROM CHINA AND ARE IN BAD CONDITION

I TRIED BUYING 64GIG AND 32GIG FROM KONGA , JUMIA AND ALIEXPRESS BUT I MUST WARN YOU . NO SINGLE ONE WORK

THE BEST IS, GO TO A STORE , TEST IT BEFORE PAYING AND MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE SIZE WELL , IF ITS 64GIG ONCE YOU INSERT IT ON THE PHONE YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO SEE 61GIG OR MAX 62GIG , ANYTHING MORE THAN THAT ITS A SURE SIGN OF BAD MEMORY CARD

RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN FROM PEOPLE HAWKING SanDisk memory cards, especially the 32Gb SD cards. They are actually 1Gb SD cards that has been programmed to make you think they are 32 GB, when you start transferring files into the 32 Gb SanDisk SD cards, the moment your files exceed 1Gb, the subsequent files that enters will not open or play if they are video or audio files. They will appear like corrupted files, but in reality they are fake SD cards that has been dumped in Nigeria by cheap distributors who bought them from fraudsters.

I am not saying there are no original SanDisk cards, but make sure you buy yours from a reputable store you know you can walk back to for a refund if it turns out to be fake. Make sure they give you a duly signed receipted too.

if you have noticed already, there is a massive number of hawkers all of a sudden that are out there trying to sell you SanDisk 16, 32 and 64GB Micro SD cards, my dear, they are looking for who to dump the trash with and the sad part of it is that you will pay same amount as you would if it were an original card.

This scam affecting SanDisk cards has affected hundreds of thousands of people around the world, not just in Nigeria. Below is a video link posted a few years ago warning people about this scam, unfortunately millions are still yet to know

Yes am glad I was able to throw an insight about this device.

Another way to determine how genuine a card is, is to download an app on Google play store called sdcard analyser. It can be use to check on writing speed also because it tell how the card manage its space and how it write and rewrite files. So if a card is fake and they tell u its class 10. The writing speed must be more than 10mb/s or appropriately 10mb/s. So even when u buy a card that claims to be class 10,u still need to watch out if its not class for u are buying. U know, The highest the class, The highest the speed, The higher the performance on ur phone and other device.

Another physical way of knowing genuine qualitites is that, original cards have serial number written on the side of the card.

Easy to spot on
