List of compatible microSD / SDXC cards for FP2

ATTENTION!! This wiki is just a list by FP2-users. It is there to share experience with MicroSD cards. It is nothing official by Fairphone. Fairphone does not sell any of these cards.

So I hope that the community can help to make a nice list of good MicroSD cards. Although Fairphone is said to support MicroSD card…

SanDisk ULTRA micro SDXC UHS-I 256 GB (the up to 100 MB/s speed version) (SDSQAR-256G-GN6MA

I’m looking for a micro SD card that I can use to store many apps in it, for my music collection and also to record high quality videos. But obviously it is essential that it works 100% in my FP2 with Open OS, so I would appreciate the experience of other users of FP2 Open OS with similar card features.
