I'm looking to upgrade my phone soon (Samsung s4). It was going to be to an Samsung s6 but the lack of microSD support has me looking at the HTC one M9. I don't care much about having a removable battery but I want microSD support. My fiancée has an apple 5s and she can't update her phone without freeing up space (I'm not paying the price difference for the 128GB model). This got me pricing microSD cards.
Currently 128GB cards are not cost effective and 64GB seems to be the sweat spot price wise. The next consideration is speed, 45MB/s vs 90Mb/s. Outside of pulling the microSD and connecting is to my computer with a usb3.0 card reader would I see any benefit from the speed increase within the phone? Would it improve responsiveness, can the phone take advantage of it? I'm not sure what the limitations are in relation to internal transfer speeds.
