Micro SD slot? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Sorry guys, I know this is a bad question but, does the sgs3 have a SD card slot + the 16 or 32 GB? Pretty sure it does but need a quick answer.
I currently own a galaxy nexus an through my gf upgrade, I can. Get the sgs3 for $100. Long story short, she was unhappy with her 4g incredible an is out of the 14 day return an she doesn't want to exchange it with anything else because the other phones are too big. But Verizon would cut us a deal on the 16 GB. That's not enough but if I can add more storage via a SD slot, then I'll go through.

Just to amend what ClubDownforce said, it supports microsdxc, up to 64gb max. You could top out at 80gb of storage on a 16gb model, and 128gb total on a 64gb model if you wait for those to be released.

Rumors are 64gb is cancelled.
No reason for a phone that big if you can upgrade already.

I'm in best buy and as I expected, very fast answers. I'm just not sure I want to give up my nexus for the sgs3. The locked boot loader worries me an primarily, the time it takes for it to get JB. I'd be getting the Verizon version.

[Q] 32 GB Card

Can this phone support the Sandisk 32GB Micro SD Card?
I dont belive so. Im pretty sure I read somewhere on here that the phone would only recognize up to 16gb card.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
of course it will. external SD is expandable up to 32 gb.....what the hell were you reading?
Alright.. So one person is telling me no, the other is saying yes? Any other comments on this??
32gb works for me

Yes it will work. If for some reason it doesn't work then you can always return it

As long as you get a 32GB card from a credible source (not the $15 ebay one) then everything will be fine.

Yeah from what I hear buying from the Verizon site is the best deal around. I would be all over that if I needed it (8GB is more than enough for me) or at least had the spare cash.
Amazon has great deals i was looking at a 16g for 27.99. I mean we already have 16 of internal. I think 16 external would be a good amount dont you think.?

Well I look at it this way.. It is actually 14GB Internal and 2GB Micro right now (Is what comes stock)
If I purchase the 32GB Card then you can add it up (32+14=46GB)
I personally would have allot of music on mine..
32 gig will work fine. You'll just have a like the biggest capacity seen on a phone for now..
After this post, The XDA app probably forced closed from my froyo lacking Vibrant
I'm using a 32gb Sandisk w/o any issues.
Yea I mean everybody has different use for them some people like watching movies on there phone or having a lot of music. Personally I think ill just get a 16g or 8 but that's just me if you want 32 that would be awesome.! )

Well, I bought the 64GB microSDXC card, so it needs to be used!
No microsd card slot? I was waiting for this phone but not now. I just bought a 64 gb card too. If I wanted to be limited on space I would buy an iphone. What a let down.
We're comin from a pure power source.
If there's no SD card slot than you can forget about it. On some of them they're just sealing the SD cards in so you can't upgrade them.

Is it a SanDisk? The stock 8gb card that comes with our phone overperforms what it is rated which made me go with the 32gb class 4 due to the many negative remarks from other cards that are class 10 but underperforms (PNY mainly)

Gotta agree with others here. Even if it comes to Sprint I need my SD card slot!!
Find it interesting that this blog is reporting that HTC removed the captive buttons even though every single preview of this phone showed 3 buttons on the bottom and even HTC was stated as saying they were moving to a 3 button approach as opposed to 4...

Exactly, which means the pic isn't the current version of the phone. It was probably an early test model but im sure its been redesigned a bunch of times since then. No matter though, we'll see next week. I would expect a sprint version to be totally different than whats shown off at MWC.

NO app to SD!!

Been looking forward to seeing the reviews on the Verizon version of this phone. No more early adapter/tester for me.
Glad I waited before pre-ordering the 16gb version.
There is no app to SD with this phone! ALL apps reside in internal memory. Which works out to about 11gb available on this 16gb release.
I'm pretty sure it's a Jellybean thing.
Gonna' wait on the 32gb or 64gb models. Screw all this "Cloud" bs.
I'll make due with what I have for now...
Pretty sure there is no 32/64 gig option coming for the States...

This. Already ordered a Sandisk Ultra 32GB card. I should be fine. Also unless you plan on getting a bunch of big games, you should be fine with 11GB anyways.

How much is it normally?
It's normally around $50, I know because I was just about the buy one last week before I decided I didn't need that much space and settled for the 32GB version for less than half the price.
I have 2 of these cards. They work great but sometimes you get the damaged sd card error when you boot. Its resolved by rebooting phone again. Otherwise they are good.

I think they are bugs with the phone supporting a class 10 speed sd card. My S3 did it all the time. I'm even formatted in Fat32.

odd... may have been a bad card/batch... I read that the sandisk had issues / i had some with the s3, so in prep for the s4, bought the aforementioned card and took the sandisk (64gb) and placed it in my Nook HD+ (just got it for 160 thanks b+n)/ no issues so far with either device

I bought a Team this time around. Hopefully no issues arise.
id steer clear of the SanDisk cards. my 64 gig constantly unmounted and remounted or sometimes never remounted on my s3..and now it's on my s4 too. I am doing an rma to get a replacement.. but i don't trust their cards anymore.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I personally have an old 8gb and 32gb SanDisk card, never had any problems using them in multiple phones and in my current S4.
I'm going to wait for prices to drop some more, it doesn't seem like I need more than 32gb at the moment for my needs, including music and movies.
i have a 64gb ultra, never had an issue. sandisk carries lifetime warranty on their cards, samsung is 1 year iirc.

Hmmm. So far so good for me. But thanks for the advise.

Well it happened. The card failed. Not sure why either. All I did was do a backup in recovery, flashed a ROM and rebooted and the card has disappeared. Guess I'll try to return it tomorrow.

I found that a Lot of Ebay(Almost all) and some Unknown brand Amazon MicroSD's either Fail or have a modified partition table.. Ebay is notorious for the latter.
What they do is take a 8GB micro SD and change the partition table to report 64GB and then put it in a loop. So once you hit 8GB it overwrites the last 8 GB with the next 8GB.
Effectively your destroying any data beyond 8GB.
There are tools out there to do a scan of cards to determine if this is the case but unless it's a Name brand Class 10 from good seller I wouldn't by it.
That is very disheartening information,,,I just bought a 64GB card from eBay for like twenty bucks.....hope it's a true 64?
