Taobao currently this card is 549 yuan.... Ya. I once bought a 128 gb @ 12 bucks. Cannot copy more than 40gb. Realise it's a fake when compared to a original. Pos. The seller went MIA. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realise it's a fake when compared to a original. Pos. The seller went MIA. yup. For example, as i mentioned in the 11-11 thread, i bought a 128gb class 10 sandisk microSD in SG for $21 during 11.11 on discount. it's usually 24 dollars. A 512gb class U3 card is easily 100 sgd and more. Even in the USA. The flash storage industry is quite competitive. So while prices do fall over time, have to realize what is realistic. The sweet spot is still around 128 gb for now, cos the 256 gb and above are still quite costly on a per GB basis. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is good enough for all my DAPs and cameras. 256 prices are not worth it. For external HDD, 4TB is now the sweet spot. Prices are more or less standard across the board even with sales on. Prices that are too good to be true, it probably is. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better buy from reputable sources. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamburger Hypersonic November 13, 2020 Share November 13, 2020 Many cheap SD card from cina. Many fakes too. I know it cos I bought them only to throw away later. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising. My friends helper wanted to buy some very cheap tablet for her kids to do e learning back in Philippines. So I looked through for my friend the two Lazada PH links he sent me. This is for the sub 100 sgd category. There were two tablets. One significantly better than the other and only ten sgd apart. I couldn't understand why one so much superior in specs. Both sold quite a lot. Then I read the various reviews... So the one with the better specs has fake specs when u use the os to query the specs. U have to use 3rd party apps to check the actual specs. After some searching on aliexpress. It seems like this fake specs issue is rampant in the around less than 200 dollar sgd category. Even among the top sellers. The tablets do work for the most part. But really outdated android os and the fake specs as above. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price is more or less similar for the big brands. Then there are those older models refurbished sets. So it's better to do some homework. But this is not as easy for the less tech savvy consumers. A few years ago I bought a new old stock ipad mini 2 for 200 bucks. I think it's quite worth it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the Samsung galaxy Tab A is quite reasonable for it's price for just below/around 200 dollars. But for the helper, too much of a price jump. And she wants something that's available to be just directly shipped to her family back in PH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
