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?
Hey I was wondering what is the max size the tablet and dock can use. I have the tablet with a 16gb micro sd but today I am buying the dock and wanted to know if I could use my 1tb hard drive and also buy a 32gb sd card to use. Hopefully it can see and use 32 gb each card and I can have tons of space. I think I heard that usb mouse works too.

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.

I just got the 64gb Sandisk and it works great but like the other guy said I got a error in the gym today and a reboot fixed it. I wanted a 32gb but the 2 local stores I went to were out.
i am using a 16gb sandisk class 10 card, and it works well. was under $20 at best buy and came with an adapter.
I find it great that the turbo 2 will have a micro SD slot. My question is what is the highest speed as card can the turbo 2 handle because I would not want to buy the wrong one
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
Motorola say the Turbo 2 will support up to 2TB microSD cards (even though microSD cards aren't anywhere close to that size yet), so I'm pretty sure it will at minimum support UHC I and probably UHC 3.
I just don't want to buy a uhs-2 card then not work
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
I bought a UC3 128GB that should arrive today. I have the Turbo 2 in hand. I'll let you know if it doesn't work. I presume the device will read and write regardless of the rating for the card, but it will be limited to the devices max rate.
UC3 works just fine.

To my understanding the phone only recognizes sdxc and not sdhc. 256gb was the biggest I could find in sdxc on eBay . Works flawless. I will say this, under storage it will say how big it is and how much is left but the bar where it has the breakdown of apps, music, other is grayed out. I use a file manager to see what's on it.

See if you can fill up the card and still read it all back correctly. There have been a ton of hacked cards being sold that show any capacity they choose. Just wont work after some point because the card corrupts the data

I would figure they would all pass because the card still allows data to be written over it, it just doesnt have the extra space it needs. The true test is to fill it with video/games/etc and read them back. Wouldnt want your stuff to end up corrupted.

Edit:!! You guys were right!! This was a fake. I ran several test on it including h2testw. And it passed but after a few more days it started losing data. Now when this started happening it stopped passing the test. They all failed. I feel stupid now. Should have known. Always buy name brands and 200 is high as they go for now. If its cheap it IS too good to be true. Stay away from eBay!!
I apologize if anyone used this link to buy this card. I complained and they refunded me without question. Didn't even want that pos back.

Some of sdcards are on sale in bestbuy.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/select-memory-cards-11015
Also worth searching Amazon -- many options for SDXC cards up through 256GB, wide range of prices depending on max transfer rate.
Well I've been getting 4k movies ready for my z5p and the size of them is massive...
Worried that my current 64Gb micro sd would be full after one film I went and bought a 200Gb one direct from SanDisk (I'm not trusting anyone on eBay when it comes to memory cards)
And all I can say is its fantastic! You get about 189GB out of the box and after transferring all 34Gb of images and music off my other card I can also say it's fast!
I paid £116 Gbp for it from SanDisk direct.
Boxed Product
I opted for a Samsung 128gb, that was not my first choice though, I wanted the Lexar 128gb as it had a very fast read and write speed but was out of stock and coming in at around £70.
The Samsung cost me £40-£50 as a prime deal on Amazon, only reason I got it.
I've had the 128GB SanDisk card for about a year now, since I bought an LG G4 back in April 2015 and it's been great. Moved over to the Xperia Z5P and still great. The only thing I haven't tried is recording 4K video to it on the Z5P, but the performance when recording 4K on the G4 was absolutely great.

They sell direct on Amazon so type in SanDisk 200gb micro sd and u will them as the first option I think... Should say SanDisk in the seller name.
I bought a 128 gb micro sd sandisk ultra on amazon lightning deals for £30
I have the same 200GB Sandisk card. It's great. I benchmarked mine through my Macbook and even with the phone to ensure it has appropriate write/read speeds and capacity so I know it's a real Sandisk card. Although I do have some issues transferring large files over 100mb onto it, specifically apps. Snooping around on forums though, found it may be more an issue with the firmware because it "times-out" when the software thinks it's taking too long to transfer so it just gives an error. Actually, if any of you guys have any insight on why I can't transfer large apps, I'd be all ears.
question.... where are you finding your 4K content for download at? PM me if need be.... I want to take more advantage of this screen.

Not really,
exFAT is Microsoft's proprietary successfor to FAT32 which had several limitations (including 4 GiB max file size, file and folder name limitations, no checksumming, etc.) which made it pretty
unsuitable for nowadays needs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT )
I hope that the acquisition of Sandisk by Western Digital will be allowed, a huge stockholder is planning (or already has) vetoed on the acquisition,
My experience with Sandisk microSD cards hasn't been the best in the past - also having read about several cards breaking after a rather short time.
Anway - back to offtopic: Sandisk afaik is the only one offering 200 GiB microSD's - so I hope it lives a long life for the OP
@celestialz
with Developer mode and adb shell you could actually see whether related kernel modules are loaded for it
(texfat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transaction-Safe_FAT_File_System)
edit:
just checked back again:
yeah, exFAT should work
So exFAT is better then FAT32 for Z5P?

Yep , Because exfat can storage file capacity more than 4GB. :fingers-crossed:
for Movies:
I use a externel Harddrive with 4TB .
For the Harddrive i use exFAT.
The Z5 Premium support only externel Harddrive with 12V power supply.
I try a lidl externel Drive with only USB Power supply and the Z5 Premium think it was only a USB Power supply and don't accept it as an externel Drive.
If you use a externel Harddisk with 4 TB and 12V, you need some time at the start. The Z5Premium check the harddisk at first, this needs 5min.
Then you can use the harddisk.
