SD Card Recovery for Android Phone

Normally, the internal storage space of mobile phones that support memory extension, such as Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, ZTE etc is very limited. So we tend to choose to store images, video and other data in SD card. But an increasing number of Android phones do not support memory cards now. There are several reasons for this trend.

1.As the early memory chips are expensive, the cost of phone with a built-in storage card will be high. When chips get cheaper, android doesn't rely on memory cards anymore. So now many android phones don't support memory extension.

2.Incorrect use and damage of memory card can easily result in data loss. Because the SD card is usually inserted directly into the cell phone, if the card is not installed tightly enough, the phone will be lost with system for poor contact or being pulled out.

3.Because of the hardware itself, the memory card can't always wake it up, otherwise it will affect service life. Many of the cheaper memory cards on the market use cheap memory chips, which are not only slow but also get corrupted with too much data.
