The best microSD cards for your Galaxy Note 9

The Note 9 is one of the few phones with expandable storage — take advantage of it!

The Galaxy Note 9 comes with a hefty amount of storage with the base model at 128GB, but if you want to get more with the 512GB variant, you need to cough up another $250.

Thankfully, you don't have to splurge for the 512GB Note 9 just to get more storage space. Instead, you can pick up a microSD card for a lot less money and still give yourself some more wiggle room.

Need some help deciding which one deserves your dollars? Here are our picks for the best microSD cards for the Galaxy Note 9!
