i had an xperia play which said it would support up to 32GB. put in a 64 GB card and it worked. very likely it's the same case with the A7.
I have the samsung note pro 12.2 and it says its limited to 64gb microsd, popped in a 256 gb and it works perfectly. You should try it, most likely would work!
EDIT: googled around, and found that 128 gb cards use the SDXC technology, same as the 200 gb cards, so it should work! SDXC can theoritically go up to 2TB So we are covered.

Yes. I use the 200gb SanDisk card that I got from my v10 promotion and it works just fine.

Not sure if this has been asked in the Xperia PLAY section, but I was thinking of purchasing a SanDisk Mobile Ultra 64GB microSDXC Flash Card for my Xperia PLAY. Is my device compatible with this microSDXC flash card?

I confirm that it works. I have a same SDXC UHS 1 san disk 64GB card at home and have it in my phone for about 6 months. Now I have 128 GB
I've had mine for about 6 months now too. Works great. 64gb not 128......

there's no such thing as 128 gig microsd. They weren't released (developed) yet. I have a full fledged 128 gig SD card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2188100
Oh okay, that's what I thought and that's why I said that it was nutz! xD
Any 64gb microsdxc will work?
I have bought this tablet. In spec it writes microsd up to 32 gb. I want to install maximum storage. If i install 64 gb will it see it or not? Thanks,..
All the documents I have seen state it to be an SDXC slot which means it should read upto 2 terabyte cards if such things existed.
If it is however just an SDHC slot (which I doubt but then I have seen weirder things happen) it may either not read the card at all or read just 16gb of it, depends on what drivers and hardware are in use.
If it supports 32GB, it'll take more as well, I'm sure. My phone said it would only support up to 32 but took a 64GB card quite happily. My guess is just that at the time the spec sheet was written, 32GB was the best available. Stupidly short-sighted to write it that way, though; as 6677 points out, the SDXC spec allows for truly massive cards.
Thanks both.. :laugh: I also believed the same but needed some verification..
64 GB microSD

I'm using a "Transcend 64GB MicroSDXC Class10 UHS-1" with no problems.
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...

what kind of sd card do you use exactly.
Usually Samsung Evo, but I also have a Toshiba and some Sandisk as well... I use all these cards in my Samsung phones.
Tried them all in my Note 3, 4, Edge and 8... All working... As well as the 200gb Sandisk cards too...

Not true at all, it can and will read the 128gb microsd. But it can also read up to 2 TB hdd via otg cable. I also have a microsd to Sdcard tf cable that reads my 256gb sdcard.
Check out amazon for a huge discount on that 128gb microsd @119.99!!

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 have been thinking about getting the Motorola G5 Plus but I want to USE a 256GB microsd card, instead of a 128GB microsd card.
But on the Official Moto G5 Plus website, it says that Motorola G5 Plus microSd card slot ONLY SUPPORTS 128GB microsd cards. So how do I know that when I get the Motorola G5 Plus, that it will support 256GB microsd cards?
Anybody that is in the same boat as me, please tell me any suggestions that you have made. I'm currently in the United States. So the Moto G5 Plus is the only official phone available in the G series

Well they officially support up to 128gb but you should be able to use a 256gb without any problems
Hi,
SD limits announced by manufacturers are completly useless... only two causes can make the limit:
- The filesystem used: Any SD card of 64GB or more is "pre-formatted" with exFAT. This is because this is a requiment enforced by the SD Consortium. Then, if the device doesn't support exFAT, they announce supporting only 32GB in SD. But if you reformat the card with FAT32, then you can use 64,128 or more.
- The SD standard supported: original SD has a limit of 4GB, SDHC has a 32GB limit, and SDXC has a limit of 2TB (at time, no card with 2TB exists). Then if the device has support for SDXC (as the Moto G5 and the 99% of smartphones of today), ANY card be compatible... as all cards has less than 2TB.
That's all! The Linux kernel or the Android subsystem doesn't imposse any artifical limit to the SD slot.

True..but I think you are using more than 128Gb then your phone may get slow down.
I know I had a tablet one time that would not read anything over 64 gb so I formatted an 128 card into two 60gb partitions.
