So, it's rated for 4K video recording. And they come from a reputable
company. But they maybe optimized for writing large contiguous
files. I would expect that to be typical of an android, except when
you're capturing video.

1. on sale is good, but sub $20 is about par for that size. But they
   are fast.
2. yes. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that most android phones
   with sdxc cards max out at 128 GB
3. this may help

4. there was an option to format the card to be used as an extension
   of the internal storage space. The advantage of that is you didn't
   have to deal with 3 above, but the disadvantage is that you
   couldn't pop the card out and stick in a computer and read the
   contents. My Nokia 6.1 (android 8) didn't offer such when I stuck a
   128GB card in.

I'm also not seeing any "move to sd card" option in the App Info.
