After my file transfer experiment involving the microSD card slot, I thought I did the same with my USB-C 3.1 OTG thumb drive by transferring the same folder from the phone's internal storage to it. Guess what? The transfer speed is far lower than the microSD card. It's almost half the speed that I got from the microSD card. It does show that the phone's internal storage does bottleneck the microSD card and USB OTG drive.

I learned the hard way when returning to my mum's old hometown during the school holidays. The speed is so slow, and the coverage is almost nonexistent. Anything involving the use of a cloud server is totally out of the question.

                      Memory cards make so much sense for photos and video instead of taking up space on the MoBo or using gimmicky cloud space.

When I updated my Wing to Android 13, that problem was solved. It's snappy and fast with no lag on Android 13. It's a shame that the V50, G8, and G8X won't get Android 13.

                          you have to suffer, 11 Oct 2023no one should ever buy cheap sd cards on facebook marketpla... moreYup, I've been there before. Cheap microSD cards NEVER last. The last time I had one, it only lasted about six months. I bought my current 512GB microSD card from a genuine dealer with a factory-backed warranty, and it still functions well after one year of hard use.

                            I'm using a high quality 512GB class 3 card in my LG G8x, it's maybe a little faster than this NM Card... and the only scenarios where it feels like its slow is:-
                            1. Loading thumbnails while browsing thousands of pics in an album... it takes about 2 seconds on an older app, Quickpic.
                            2. That's it.
                            Otherwise, I record 1080p240 on it, 4K60 on it, I play them too. I keep full size movies that play flawlessly.
                            I know that memory cards will slow down APPS/ GAMES on it. But hey... by default apps are stored on internal memory, so no worries.

                            In fact, as all my media is on the memory card, the internal memory is still 53GB free, so overall it does help make my phone faster & versatile.
                            So, no doubt a good move for Huawei owners if the price is ok. Right now, 512's run at $33 or so.

So for example I currently use the mate 60 pro plus 512gb and after a couple of years the internal storage will run out. The existence of NM cards are for those who uses Huawei phones including myself. Lexar made the new 512NM card for the Huawei phone users to make money.

                                      Never seen an NM card before. Also, being only exclusive to Huawei phones, this could cost more than a microSD card with the same capacity.
