These are the best microSD cards to expand your Galaxy S9's storage

With options for 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB in storage, the Samsung Galaxy S9 has you covered no matter what you need. However, should you buy the phone and realize you need more space after the fact, the S9's microSD card slot makes it easy to upgrade your storage at any time. There are a ton of microSD cards out there to choose from, but which is the best Galaxy S9 SD card? Without a doubt, these are the very best ones you can get.

Best overall pick

Samsung 128GB EVO Plus

Staff pick

Samsung's Evo Plus is the best option for most people. The 128GB card delivers 100Mb/s read speeds, and 90Mb/s write speeds at a great value.

Best on a budget

Samsung 32GB EVO Select

Even the base 64GB Galaxy S9 offers plenty of space out of the box, so if you just need a bit more wiggle room, 32GB is a really good affordable option.

Most space possible

Pick the best microSD card that's right for you

When it comes to microSD cards, your usage and habits are the most significant factors in deciding which one is the best overall fit. While this certainly doesn't apply to everyone, we think that the Samsung 128GB EVO Plus is the best microSD card for the Samsung Galaxy S9. In addition to the S9's built-in 64GB, this gives you a combined storage allotment of 192GB. That should be more than enough space for all of your apps, games, photos, and movies.

At the same time, don't buy more storage than you really need. If you just need a little more wiggle room and want to spend as little as possible, go ahead and pick up the Samsung 32GB EVO Select. It'll give you an excellent storage boost and only costs a few bucks.

Should you need a lot of storage, we'd recommend the Samsung 256GB EVO Plus over the 512GB PNY option. Samsung's card will give you a total storage amount of 320GB after you factor in the Galaxy S9's base storage. And even for people with a lot of local files, we don't imagine you'll fill that up anytime soon.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
