    Better one, class 10 for £3.80. Not sure of delivery costs, though. Not directly Amazon.

    The one you linked is class 4. Usable, but not great for smartphones if you intend to run apps from the card.

    Sandisk branded £8~

    Careful now, reviews of that item from that seller note them as fakes.

    Isnt class 4 better than class 10 for things like smartphones?
    Class 10 as faster transfer speeds than class 4 for large files (say a large write of a jpeg after taking a photo with a camera etc) but most smartphone apps transfer lots of small files frequently.
    The lower class numbers are supposedly better with many smaller files.

    Faster is always better!

    The more important thing is how they work with applications or constant read/write.

    Class 10's are much faster, so any apps you save to the card will load faster. They're also apparently longer lasting before problems start to crop up, at least that's the general idea I've heard on xda, reddit/r/android, etc.
