I'll get that later on. I only bought a 16 GB for moderate use.
Good to know, thanks for sharing! I wonder if 64GB is the limit?
I bought a sandisk 64gb card a few days ago for my Note as well, dumped a lot of content on it.

H-O-L-L-Y Snickeys!
64GB? That's a wonderful thing.
How much does a 64GB mirco SD set you back?
I have 32GB now, Class 4. But does aok right now.
64gb Micro Sd
It will set you back $100-150 I'll keep my 32gb for now

Yeah, for "now" 32GB is perfect for me.
I mean right now I have all my music on Google Music, so that saves me approx 16GB of data, and I do have a few Media Hub movies, so 32GB is spacious right now.

Thanks, I had some customers that asked.
Yeah, I've never seen one under $120. Considering that's around three 32GB microSDHCs, I'm holding off--not that I have any trouble filling a 32GB card, but still.

That's the cheapest I have seen them thus far. Wonder how fast it'll be before it significantly drops in price. So far, the 32GB ones have dropped a fair amount in price.
I'm gonna upgrade to a 32GB one from 16GB once I purchase my Note.

International version was reported to support 128GB, but there isn't a microSD that size yet, so the test was done with a regular SD card and an adaptor:

Yeah 32GB are definitely at a good price point; I bought an excellent SanDisk class 4 from Newegg for $33, and could have saved a few bucks with a less reputable brand.
I haven't seen prices drop at all on microSDXC cards in the last four months. I'm not holding my breath at this point that they'll be priced competitively with smaller cards any time soon.

Have you ever seen anyone selling a 128GB microSDXC? I don't think there is any technological limitation of the phone that would prevent your phone from reading even larger cards, as long as you can format them with a supported filesystem, and the SDXC standard allows up to 2TB. The limitations are just based on what's available.

That's pretty cool, thanks for the link. I'm not quite brave/crazy enough to clear a space in the back of my phone to install a full-size SD card though.
I got the same 64gb sandisk microsdxc and it doesnt work for me...phone wont recognize it. It's formatted into FAT32 and my HTC Evo 4G and PC can see the card and read/write to it just fine.
What file system do you have on that card?
64GB was 100 at bestbuy but they sell out quick on the site.
You have to put it in the phone and format it in the phone itself

Note does not see sd card contents
Having a little trouble with the external card being seen by the Note. I have a samsung 32 GB, class 10. I have pics loaded, ringtones and apks on it. Pics and apks are in the root of the card. Ebooks are in a folder called ebooks. Ringtones are in a folder- Forget how labeled, but copied from my infuse card. They work correctly.
My app installer does not see the apks. Gallery does not see the pics, but the ringtones are selectable by the settings thru contacts or setting sounds. STock ebook reader does not see my ebooks that are in a folder "ebooks".
With the file explorer on the note was able to open the sd card and install the apks manually.
How do I get the note to see the stuff on the external card?

Did you mean via USB OTG or did you actually connect that much to the micro SD slot via an adapter?
Which are the advantages of getting the 32Gb versions to the 16Gb?
I know that it has more memory: but isn't it enough to add to the 16Gb version a powerful microSD with 64Gb for example?
At the end of the day: is it worth it to pay more for the 32GB?
Many apps can't be installed to the external SD. So if you plan on installing a lot of apps and don't mind the wait, I'd say go for the 32 gb. There's no such thing as too much storage space ;-)
Just get the 16gb and put all your media files on a memory card if 16gb is enough for all your Apps.
Internal memory is always faster then external memory. If you are not bothered about in price difference, get the 32gb version.

Hi, so you can choose to save Videos and Photos taken with camera to External SD instead of Internal?
And use the Internal SD ONLY for the data downloaded by games and app (Android and Data folders), ClockworkMod Recovery and Titanium Backup?

I find the 32gb useless for a device that lets u use memory cards.
Isn't the internal ones better quality and high speed rating though? (my S2's internal writes at over 6MB/s and reads at 50) Looking at the SDcards I can get here there aren't many in store and most are class 6 and under can't find any class 10's that aren't cheap pos or good but really expensive and unnecessary. So I'm pretty much looking at needing to buy online you add shipping to that and I might as well just get the 32GB model for ease and less hassle. It also looks like Bell Canada will have the 32GB models on launch day as well so I think I will just get that when I go to get my S3.

Mmmm.. Maybe i'll go with the internal 16GB + 32/64GB class 10 memory!
About to purchase the tmobile galaxy s 3 and ive noticed they come as a 16gb rom or a 32gb rom. Not sure if it is worth the extra $50 or not. What do you guys think? Not exatly sure what the benefit in the long run will be if so. Please explain if possible, thanks.
I don't think it's worth the extra $50. If you really want 32GB, you could just buy an external microSD card and stick it in (up to 64GB I believe). I got the 16GB phone and put in my 16GB microSD card which costs much less than $50 these days. Plus, you'd have do wait until they get the 32GB version of the phone.
I dont think its that necessary. You can expand with a microSD card up to 64GB, and you also get 50GB of DropBox storage when you buy the phone. Im just gonna get the 16GB White model when it comes out.
I'm noticias 100% sure in S3 case but usually internal memory is faster than external cards. You must consider it.

Even if it's true, it doesn't matter. I have a Class 6 64GB Sandisk card in there and just dropped 9 gigs of music onto my phone in a minute. You can buy a 64 gb card from newegg for around $40.

Can you link the $40 64gb card?
IF you have the need go head. IT all comes down to it.
In my case, I need the internal storage for 1080p videos, pictures, apps, data apps.
And then I use the microsd card for my 35GB music collection. (Yes, I like to go around with my entire music collection in my pocket)
So for me, my choice is 32GB Galaxy S 3 and a 64GB microSD card.
isn't $50 already a bargain for double the storage? last that i remember the phones were $100 more.

the reason everyone is going bat**** over the SGSIII is because of the microSD slot. there's absolutely no reason for you to get a 32GB phone since you can pop in a 64GB microSD card if you needed more space. better question to ask yourself: what is the capacity of your current phone? if you maxed out, double the space and that's what you should be aiming for on the SGSIII. :good:
If you have to ask, do you think you need it?
I've a 64 GB µSD card whose limits I'm already reaching. $50 is a lot for 16 GB but it's not a question I need to answer.

For 50 bucks of u plan on keeping the phone for awhile id say get it.sucks when u think about or like ur paying 50 for a 16gb sd but when u consider 1st that its 16gb that u will never be able to expand to any other way and 2nd Apple would charge like 200 bucks for that extra space it makes the sting a lil easier to swallow.now of they made 256gb sd cards it would be a different story lol but since we are limited in how big of a sd card is available I'll take that extra 16 err 14....whatever ever formatting gb any day for 50 bones.nothing worst then running out of space

that's a CLASS 6 (SIX).
I plan on keeping mine for 2-3 years, so the more storage the better, so to me a 32gb phone with a 32-64gb sd card makes a lot of sense, but it really only matters what you want/need it for

13.05 gb total space available. That is what mine shows. Not really bad at all, not like I thought it would be. I have couple play movie rentals downloaded, 112 apps installed as well as a few dozen songs on the nexus 10. Only 2.6gb used, still have 80 percent left (10+ gb) . Also ordered a micro OTG USB cable so I can use USB stick/sd card for extra storage (no need to root for photo, video or music streaming if you use nexus media importer)
Hope that helps,
Ed
Wow glad I got a 32gb.. I have 11gb left and for WHAT? No music yet, well other then the free google gives you. no movies..Apps and 2-3 games. Must me BIG games and APPS! hehe
Buy a 64 GB usbstick and everything is OK ;0))
I would not recommend getting 16gb. My note 10.1 is 16gb and I have a 64gb and its not enough space. I can't keep all my games saved on my tab at once. I keep all my media saved on my sd card and only save game files on my system.

Mine was a Christmas gift, so I can have nothing to complain about. If I had the choice, I would have got the 32gb as well.. But after filling my tab2-7 int space and a 32gb sd card, I don't think that would be enough space either. But besides the usb memory stick ad on (got my cable from Korea today, works great!!!) there is the option of cloud storage. One service giving you 50gb free now!
That's the one thing about the large nexus 10.....You will more than likely be using it around the house and a wifi signal. Plenty of room for movies and music now! We only need an app that will allow us to install and RUN apps from cloud services.
If you are going to allow multiple users on the n10,then you must get the larger one.... But that probably won't be enough if one of the users is a gamer (grin) just such a large price difference for 16gb....Although I did once pay that for 1mb on my first IBM XT 16mhz system... 1mb simm chip, not gb! (gotta love this tablet!)

Just wondering what you guys would recommend for a good quality sd card for this phone? Also...how hard is it to put your stuff on the SD card rather than it going straight to internal storage??
I use a SanDisk 16 GB microSd card. It works fine, I've used it on my Xoom, BIONIC, and now my S4 and I got no complaints. Fits everything I want (I don't put any movies on it, just pictures and music). It isn't that difficult to move stuff to and from it, either go in an app on your phone and move stuff or plug it into you'r computer. Also, many apps, like the camera app, have settings that save pictures and videos straight to your external SD.
I think it's a must for an S4 user to have external storage, as TouchWiz/Bload take up almost 7GBs of internal storage.

Thanks! I guess I will do some research. I just know there are like different grades of microSD's but I will do some more research
I use the Sandisk 64GB MicroXDXC UHS-1 from Amazon. It's around $50 from Amazon. I've used it in my S3 as well. No issues besides every now and then it will say the card is damaged or give an error. A simple reboot fixes the issue. Best card for the monwy as I habe 2 of them. One in my S4 and one in my Tab 2 7.0. You should also try and find a USB reader for MicroSD cards to transfer your files as it's much faster than using the USB cable to transfer to the phone.

Would it be stupid to buy a class 10 microSD? can the phone even really utilize the speed capability of a class 10? I am looking at that card right now, maybe the 32GB version, I don't think I would ever come close to using 64GB haha

Mine is class 10 and works well. You get the faster data transfers by using a USB adapter to transfer large files and music collections. It runs pretty decent I think.
