Which microSD card is best for the Moto G5 Plus? Well, it depends what you need...

The reality is this: if you are buying a budget phone, you're kind of over the idea of paying a lot for accessories. No fancy, expensive case; no insanely high-performance microSD slot. You just want something that works.

Even though the $229

has a pretty hefty 32GB of storage out of the box (and double that for an extra $70), if you're in need of extra storage for movies, music, or even large games, a microSD card can come in real handy.

The Moto G5 Plus even supports

(about $49) isn't the company's top offering, but it comes with decent speeds and a price tag to match. With up to 48MB/s read and write (Class 10 or U1 classification), it can handle 1080p video without a problem. If you want a well-regarded card that doesn't break the bank, this is the one to go with.

The Moto G5 Plus can shoot 4K video which takes up a lot of space on the phone's storage. With SanDisk's Extreme microSD card, which is rated U3 and supports maximum write speeds of up to 100MB/s, you can force the phone's 12MP sensor to record directly to the external storage.

Though the SanDisk Extreme 64GB is a bit more expensive on a per-megabyte basis, at $35 it's a relatively inexpensive way to shore up the storage on your new phone.
