Xperia L, MicroSd, Micro SD class UHS -I U1 or class 10?

[UnknownError]

This is my first post, so Hello Sony!

I wish to buy a microsdhc (microSD) card with the maximum size of 32Gb for xperia L(C2105), as I understand that the maximum memory card will be only 32 Gb and no more, but regarding class I have not found any specification, please help me chosing the right one that can take advantage of and will be compatibile and stable, as I don't wish for the card to be "burned/damaged", not reconized by the device, or the quickly depleting of the battery.

I generally wish to buy a UHS-I / Class (U1) or should I buy a Class 10?

      VERSUS

_____________________________________________________

As I can see regarding microSDHC I have these classes of cards, with which one is XperiaL compatibile?

Class Minimum performance Application

Class 2	2 MB/s	SD video recording
Class 4	4 MB/s	High-definition video (HD) recording including Full HD (from 720p to 1080p/1080i)
Class 6	6 MB/s
Class 10	10 MB/s	Full HD (1080p) video recording and consecutive recording of HD stills (high-speed data bus)
UHS Speed Class 1 (U1)	10 MB/s	Real-time broadcasts and large HD video files (UHS bus)
UHS Speed Class 3 (U3)	30 MB/s	4K video files (UHS bus)

I think class 10 will be just fine for what you need.I suggest going for Sandisk or Sony,they seem to work best in Xperias.

You can use any speed class(2, 4, 6, 10, and UHS) the SD-card will still be compatible with your Xperia L.

Thank you for the quick reply!

But will the phone take some advantage of using UHS -I U1 over Class 10 or the other way around (viceversa)?

Or is the same thing "from the phone point of view (and not computer/pc)" if it is a UHS U1 or is a Class 10?

 Sorry for sending twice, the forum gived me some "please correct html errors"

Unfortunately, there are no specifications how fast the phone can read or write. But in general, a SD-card with a higher speed class should function faster.

"Unfortunately, there are no specifications how fast the phone can read or write."

Okay, so regarding speed an UHS class will be better.

But what about Battery drain? Which one will drain the battery faster, a class 10 or an UHS?

- There is an relation of Watts = mAh X Volts

- The cards / class have different mhz clocks. Some of cards go at 50 Mhz, some at 100 Mhz, and some 200 Mhz, so the clock could impact the battery life.

" Use of UHS requires that the host device command the card to drop from 3.3-volt to 1.8-volt operation and select the 4-bit transfer mode"

" UHS104 (SDR104) also support a clock frequency of 208 MHz "

Which one will drain battery faster, a UHS-I or a Class 10?

It may differ from SD-card to SD-card but it's such a small amount which you almost will not notice.
