If you want to install in Microl SD, you must activists the options as developper, typing 7 times on System Compilation.
I've just bought a card. Didn't really know what I was doing, so it's Class 10 but only U1, with A1 App Performance. When I installed it, I got a warning to say it was too slow – apparently if I'd bought a card with U3, I wouldn't have received that warning – but it may not actually be an issue. Seems U3 might only be necessary for recording 4K video. If you're able to wait a few days, I can let you know what performance is like.
The card you've linked to doesn't have an A1 certification, but as far as I can tell, that doesn't necessarily mean performance will be any worse, it just means they haven't slapped that particular label on their product yet. ('A1' refers to the card's suitability for installing apps, rather than just storing media.) If you want to guarantee A1 performance and U3 write speed, this one is the same price albeit with half the capacity: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XYJNFSB
You could also try contacting Samsung to ask if their card matches the A1 standard.
I still don't think the extra write performance over the Extreme is really needed. I have an Extreme A1 U3 V30 64GB, rated at 100/60 MB/s, adopted as internal storage in my N5. I find the performance to be more than adequate. It has roughly the same read performance as an Extreme Plus/Pro, which is what's most needed for adopted storage. The way Android splits the storage has the frequently written stuff mostly on the faster internal flash, and the adopted SD gets the more static content plus media. 60 MB/s write speed should be more than enough for the photo & video capabilities of the 5.
If money is not a consideration, the Extreme Plus will certainly max things out, but the 5 is a cost-conscious mid-range device, so I feel the Extreme is a closer match to it.
