that it is just 2GB SD Card whereas 16GB is written boldly on it. Many people have also use some tools online like memory card expander that has the
capacity to expand flash drives, memory card from a small memory capacity to a larger memory capacity, like from 2GB
to 8GB. But all can't serve the full purpose. What actually bothers me is that there should be a tool to check for fake SD card so as as minimize the rate of how people fall victims of fake memory cards.

card, only for you to discover that it can only take 8GB and 4GB files and data respectively.
