Hi All,
I'm looking for an Android phone as a cheap, large capacity MP3 player. I currently have an iPhone 5S 32GB, but I have a pretty extensive music collection that I'd like to store on one device.
I've been looking on eBay as well as using GSMArena.com and 95% of the Android phones state that they only accept 32GB Micro SD cards. Is this a hard limit?
There's only one Android phone I've found that accepts 64GB cards - Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus S7583T
Am I going to run into problems if I try to use a 64GB card in any of the other Android devices? Can I get around the 32GB limit?
Thanks in advance!
PS - I apologise if I've placed this in the wrong forum!
PS #2 - I'm also interested in any Windows Mobile devices that support 64GB microSD cards!
Tons of phones support 64 GB cards. Galaxy S3/S4/S5, Note 2/3/4, LG G3/G4, HTC Ones, etc. A lot of them say 32 but have no issues with larger cards. Some even work fine with the 128 cards. Can't always just go by the specs. Most likely other users in the forums will make mention of what works for them.
I have a HTC M8 which I use for my club fix. It can accept a 128GB MicroSD card and has decent music playback for a phone.

Hi,
I'l like to purchase either a 1GB or 2GB card for my TyTn. Some of the local stores only keep the 1GB Sandisk and no 2GB.
The question I have is the one store only has the standard Sandisk 1GB Micro SD Card and not the Sandisk Ultra II.
Is there really a big difference in performance and what would one recommend as a card and where to purchase from over the internet?
Thanks
Ari

FYI, I dont think there is a Sandisk Ultra II 2GB card available. And the Ultra II cards are supposed to be much faster (W/R, 9MB/10MB) compared to the regular cards.

microSD available many places
You will see the 2 GB Sandisk microSD available all over the place. eBay has them, as well as various vendors with internet purchasing.
Eventually, we'll see the "ultra" sandisk versions of the microSD. For now, I went for the 2 GB version available, because 1 GB is too limiting, especially if you use the TyTN for music.
So, looking to upgrade from my Samsung Epic 4G to the SIII. And, I'm curious about which size of storage to get: 16GB or 32GB.
I ask because I noticed that apparently both models, from Sprint, will come with a 32GB microSD card. So, if I'm still getting 32GB, would I be fine with the 16GB model, if I would rarely download enough apps, have videos and music, to fill 16GB?

It should be plenty, it just depends if you have lots of apps & games that take a lot of storage. If you don't then you can always get a 64GB microSDXC & put your videos & music on it
What is the best (and compatible) microSD card for the Galaxy S III?
I heard that the Sandisk Extreme Pro had fantastic speeds but I also have been looking at reviews of Sandisk cards and a lot of people aren't seeing the expected speeds. Some people have recommended that Extreme Pro card but according to the compatibility list on Sandisk's website, it's not compatible.
Have any of you tried Samsung cards? I have seen decent reviews with them.
Also does anyone out there know the maximum Bus Speed for the slot?
Any opinions?

I wonder if people are getting actual genuine merchandise. It just seems that too many people are reporting slow speeds.

I think a big reason people report slow speeds is that the bus speed will only allow certain speeds, which is lower then the cards capability.
For example:
Card CAN go these speeds...
24MB/Read
13MB/Write
But the limitations of the phone will only allow these speeds...
14MB/Read
8MB/Write
I'm also really wanting to know what the Galaxy III's limitations are.
All depend on class I always get SanDisk name brand.... I got a class 4 I wanna get a 64GB class ten shockproof & waterproof one but they are like $110 :<
yea that makes more sense
I don't have my SGSIII yet, but the Class 10 32GB card by Samsung absolutely flies compared to the card that came with my Epic. Plus it's supposedly shockproof and waterproof.
Just make sure you get a genuine one by purchasing through a reputatable source. I've heard some of the one's on Amazon and EBay are fakes. Got mine from Frys when it was on sale.

I also have a Class 4 that came with and currently have in my Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G. That is why I'm really wanting an upgrade.
Does anyone know what formats the Galaxy S III will take? SDHC? SDXC? Compatible with UHS-I? Also what Class?
By the way, a fantastic resource for SD cards is...
https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/speed/bus_speed/
I have confirmed with Samsung that the card slot is compatible only up to Class 10 cards.
Anyone have suggestions on the best Class 10 microSD card out there?

That may actually help me out. What brand/model of card do you have?
Thank by the way.
Type of SD
I am getting conflicting information on how much external memory the MicroSD card accepts and also what type it supports. Can someone tell me what type ie...
MicroSD
MicroSDHC
MicroSDXC
I spoke with samsung support and they only say my I747 only supports upto 32GB of Regular MicroSD and not MicroSDXC.
Thanks.
i believe that the official Samsung specs only list up to 32GB MicroSDHC but MANY people have confirmed the phone can handle 64gb MicroSDXC cards with no problems.

It is confirmed by Samsung that it can take a 64GB microSDXC card.
Another conversation I had with them said that it will take up to Class 10.

Hey guys,
so I bought this Samsung Micro SDHC Card which has a storage of 32 GB from this link:
http://www.amazon.de/Samsung-microS...te-MB-MPBGCEU/dp/B00AYC6V2U/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t
It clearly states that it's a Micro SDHC Card and when it arrived I was surprised to see that it's a 32Gb Micro SDXC (I thought that SDXC only made sense with 64Gb of memory).
However, I plugged it in my S3 and it worked from the start but then I started to transfer files to it (about 12 gb) from my old Micro SD Card. The speed was ridiculously low, at about 1 MB/s and sometimes even lower. And I was copying big files like videos and also MP3`s where the speed is usually about 10MB/s with my old MicroSDHC Card Class 10. I tried to format it but it wouldn't help.
So then I started to do some research and I couldn't find even 1 picture of the card using Google (Samsung Micro SDXC 32GB UHS I Card), so I'm beginning to think that it's maybe a fraud?
Have you guys seen a card like this or maybe someone even owns one? Would be interesting to know.
Anyhow, I'm gonna write to the seller that I want a new one, since this one is clearly not working as it should.
Hi my name is Jack, and I'm new here in the forum.
I just wondering if my Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300) can support 128 Gb Micro SD microSDHC?
Something like this...
128 Gb Micro SD-TF Memory Card Class 10 With Adapter-USA
(Just copy the line and paste on Google to see the price of product)
I have knowledge that there is a SanDisk 128gb microSDXC. But I can not pay that much money ($ 120)
SanDisk 128GB microSDXC Ultra 128G microSD micro SDXC 30MB/s Class 10 UHS-1 Card
(Just copy the line and paste on Google to see the price of product)
Thanks in advance.

Samsung Galaxy S3 supports up to 64gb micro SD card. Moreover, I think 128 gb SD card is way too much for Galaxy S3, just imagine what will happen if you fill all the memory of the card. Thats why I suggest you buy a card with lower space, something like 16gb,32gb or 64gb.

I can not imagine that could happen, but... I already have a 64Gb card (and I have no space in it)
Because of this, I have this doubt.

Lol! I cannot believe it. What do you have in this card, how did you fill the entire 64 gb space?
64GB aint that much if you video record and have a lot of music files.
was wondering if there is a difference between Samsung and SanDisk cards in terms of working well with the S3. I have the samsung 64gb Class 10 UHS-1. Is there anything i should be aware of, stability, format etc.
Thanks
