Samsung 32gb class 10 here. It's the fastest sd card on the Earth and the 32 GB are just enough for me. Since I can't install apps on it, I never had more than 7 GB used.

I bought that one and a USB 3.0 microsdxc card reader that supports UHS-1 speeds. While, the s4 will supposedly work with their own card, you won't get the higher read/write speeds on the s4, but you will on your pc.
Sort of a pain to take the card out and stick it in the usb 3 card reader, but for 64gb and you're trying to transfer large video files - may be easier, I suppose
I am wanting to buy a 64gb memory card and have looked at san disk however I have had one which corrupted on my note 2 so am concerned.
Has anyone used the 646gb sandisk class 10 with the new s4 ??

Same here, I had 2 Sandisk SD cards 32GB and both of them got corrupted on MY S3, I don't know is was a bad production or not but the truth is that is very disappointing.
Some people say that rooting phones corrupts the SD card forever, Dunno is its true, Any way I think i will give it a shot on sandisk again for my new S4.
Peace :good:

Class number indicates how fast the read and write is. The larger the number the better.
SDHC is your standard micro sd card up to 32gb. While the SDXC can go up to 2 TB i think? Its format will also be exFat meaning it can read/store single file greater then 4gb. Not sure if SDXC exFat format is supported for S4? since S4 can read up to 64gb i assume it can read the 64gb class 10 SDXC cards. if not then you can convert it to FAT32 but it wont read a file which is greater than 4gb

Yes... unless that type is not supported by S4, i havent researched the S4 side yet. Currently im using a SDXC Class 10 64gb exFat format on my Nokia 808.
I think the packaging has the Green android robot guy with a label of Supports Android or something. I threw away my packaging but im using a Sandisk Ultra if that helps.
I cant vouch for S4 personally since i havent tried inserting it yet. Hope someone here has tried.
Thanks
Is there anyone that know for sure what is the best memory card for the s4 I9500?
I got a samsung 64gb pro class 10 sdxc. Works perfectly in my s4. Formatted the card within the phone and am able to transfer files larger than 4gb in it, so am assuming the phone formatted it to exfat.
Yea it's an option but I think I will take the 32gb, but for the 32gb I didn't find the xc model.
How is sdhc hc-1? Will it work or is there a better one that will work?

As of now i dont think you can move apps to the sd card. Only music, videos, images and other nonapp essential files can be stored in the sd card. Maybe after rooting?

From my understanding, the Galaxy S4 will only read up to 64gb. anything higher, phone won't read it. Also, some say to be careful with the Sandisk cards as they could be difficult to work with on the S4. I have a Samsung 32gb card and it works flawessly.
Can anyone confirm what is the maximum capacity SD card that can use with Note 3, planing to upgrade my 64Gb to higher capacity.
64gb is the reported max however i have heard that some have used 128gb card with success... not sure on anything else though (like 256gb card)
is there any links or sharing from users to confirm this ?
I tested a 128 GB in a store here and it mounted, but if I'm able to go beyond 64 GB of storage with that card I don't know, if not I suppose I could divide it into two 64 GB cards.

You say there was a 128GB microSD card and you tested with that in your Note3? What card/brand was that microSD?
I was expecting official announcements from the like of Sandisk or Samsung about 128 GB microSD models to only start in January so as no not disturb the xmas sales for the old models.

Here is an adaptor to fit a standard sd card. You can theoretically go up to 2Tb but I have a 128gb card working in my Note 3 and older SG note 10.1...
SDXC spec is up to 2TB and all modern phones should be able to handle that no problem. The reason they advertise 64GB is that is the maximum size actually available in microSD format at release, but when larger ones come around or you use a full size SD with adapter as long as it is SDXC it will work. My guess would also be that theoretically a new SD protocol could be added at the kernel level but this phone won't be receiving that update as SDXC has many years left to go until we reach 2TB SD cards.

The Note 3 can recognize up to 2TB. All the new storage technology has so far been backward compatible, so the since released 128, 200 & 264GB SD cards should work fine. 2013+SD Drivers will all be backward compatible till 2TB.
64gb, anything else may work, for awhile but then it will start showing that the files on it are gone. If you use a card bigger than 64gb don't save anything to it that you use or want to save. Shame because the note 3 is definitely one of Samsung better phones!
I learned the hard way, with 2 sdcards from 2 different manufacturers, 64gb sdcard, maximum.

Either something wrong with your phone, rom or sd card.....
I use 128gb sd cards in all of my phones with no problems, and they are pretty much full too. Everything works and no problems.
Have backups of roms, APK's I don't wish to hunt for again (they update after install so no problem running old APK files), music and video files. Pictures, both from camera and stuff I've got elsewhere, text files, both for work and play. All works fine.
I even dabbled with a 200gb Sandisk but put that in another newer device...

You were just misinformed companies want you to think there's a limit but when your on a site like xda there's no fooling us lol, even though at that time 64 gb microsd was the biggest external microsd option there were ways to get around the limit via regular sdcards. I have a 256gb sdcard I use on my note 3 from a tf cable that uses the microsd card slot on the note 3 so I can insert my sdcard and store massive amounts of data on it. I'm planning on buying the 128gb microsd also tho just to support sandisk and Thank them for finally making this happen, we're sure to see 128gb internal phones in the near future now.

C'mon, this is very simple, until couple days ago the largest micro sd card was 64GB and that's how far they could test it and that's what they wrote in the specs. If the 128GB card follows the specs, it has to work, but I do remember in the past some cards didn't work with all devices and I have no idea why, something about particular controller being not compatible, so it would be foolish for Samsung to post specifications which can't be tested. I had same thing with my old camera, specs listed 32 GB max, largest size at the time of release but it worked with 64GB fine when those came out. So when do we get 256GB, 128GB seems so yesterday.

Almost certainly it will work. However the manufacturer suggested price (200$) is just "marketing" similar to what is routinely done on overpriced jewelry, the initial launch price seems to be closer to 120$ and I would be quite surprised if the price will not get towards 70-80 US$ once the competition really heats-up.
Amazon has it for $119 but it is out of stock.
No idea when they will actually have it.
It's been over 1 year so it's probably time to confirm that the SanDisk 128GB Ultra Micro SDXC Class 10 UHS-1 card works flawlessly on a Samsung Note 3 SM-N900T (running either KItKat or Lollipop). For best performance it doesn't hurt to adjust the read-ahead cache higher than the default 128K (I use 1024K).
Beware of the many "fakes" found online. As of this writing, anything under $50 is probably not a genuine 128GB card, but you can find legitimate ones for as little as $65 if you search around.
I wish to puchase a 128GB micro SD or even a 256GB micro SD for my Note 3, so I can load it with several movies and other stuff.
Does anybody knows if Note 3 support such big storage? Any issues? Has someone already tried to use 128GB Micro SD card?

Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472486. Myself haven't go through in details but i believe 128GB is possible
128 is the biggest available (on amazon, but deeply backordered - I bought mine like a month ago, and still no sign of shipping). The manufacturers appear to be supply constrained.
128GB of flash just barely fits into a microSD package with top-of-the-line process technology. That's the biggest we're going to see until another round of process shrinks (and this is why it's taken until now to bring out a 128gb microsD card).
However you can mod your phone with an sd card to micro sd card adaptor and use a 256gb up to 2 terabyte card - theoretically... People do use 256gb sd cards though. This is proven to work...

So does NOTE 3 fully support 128GB? I mean, if you insert a 128GB will Note 3 see it as 128GB or just 64GB? Or will it sense it as two separate 64GB partitions?

Thats because 64gb was all that was available when Note 3 was launched.... The S3 specs only say up to 32gb but I used a 64gb sd card in that as well as the Note 1....
This is the manufacturer covering their A$$ so if for some reason someone did have a problem they point to the specs sheet and say it wasn't covered...
Rest assured it does NOT partition the sd card... I have a 128gb sd card - using the sd card to micro sd card adaptor - on my Note 10.1 2014 ed with no problems... Hell, I use a 128gb sd card on my Note 10.1 1st edition...
Still running out of space though.....:laugh:

I have a 64gb flash card its the fastest class ect. and it runs PAINFULLY SLOW! it takes forever to even copy stuff onto it from USB3. its much slower then the note 2 for some reason. i had it tested and its not faulty. its just a PAIN IN ASS. so only use it if you plan to keep it on there a long time. now I just delete/copy the internal memory as its much faster then move all stuff overnight while its on charge to External

If you have a 256gb micro sd card you just plug in where the micro sd card goes, I was referencing an adaptor that has a micro sd plug and you can insert a normal size sd card. If you have a 512gb sd card this would also work...
