The HTC EVO 3D will be able to use 2 types of memory cards.

We get a lot of questions as it relates to the differences between MicroSD and MicroSDHC. There really is no difference. The main thing that separates the two is the fact that the cards have different size capacities.

Micro SD cards can hold up to 4GB worth of pictures, video and music.

Micro SDHC cards can hold up to 32GB worth of pictures, video and music.

Other Vital Memory Card Information

When looking at getting memory cards, you should be aware that they all have different speed class ratings. Speed ratings of 2, 4, 6 and 10 are there to show the speed of which data is written and read from the memory card. Class 2 – Minimum of 2 MB/s performance. (Slowest)

Class 4 – Minimum of 4 MB/s performance. (Average)
Class 6 – Minimum of 6 MB/s performance. (Above Average)
Class 10 – Minimum of 10 MB/s performance. (Fastest)

If you are looking at getting a HTC Evo 3D Memory Card and you want to know what the best speed to get, stick with the Class 4 and up. The Class 2 can work, but it can be slow when it comes to recording video. If you have plans on using the MicroSD/SDHC card in another device such as a camera or camcorder (With the SD Adapter), then you should certainly go for a card that has a Class 6 or higher.
