3. Reduce Phone Memory Consumption

After adding a SD card to phone, you can move the large files, such as movies or music, etc., from the phone memory to the SD card. Also, many phones support to install apps on the card. In this way, you can reduce the phone internal memory consumption.

4. Removable & Portable

Due to small size, SD card is removable and portable. Hence, if you eject it from the smartphone, you can take with it all around, unlike the hard disk drive which is much larger than SD card.

5. Require Little Power

Furthermore, the SD card only requires very little power. That is to say, using a SD card on your smartphone will not waste a lot of power. It is a good option for battery-supported device.

6. Easily Accessed on PC
