It can support upto 2TB Micro sd card, figures doesnt matter at all, Only Class matters. Redmi Note 3 supports SDXC class which has range of 64 GB to 2TB. Companies dont advertise it because of licensing issues.
It's officially 32gb......There are 3 types of SD cards in micro SD family. SD,SDHC,SDXC....... formatting like Fat 16, fat32, exfat owned by Microsoft. All OEMs pay royality charges for using its patients.
SD, format: fat16, range:128mb to 2gb (I don't know)
SDHC, format:fat32, range:4gb to 32gb(file limit:4gb
SDXC, format:exfat, range:64gb to 2Tb. (No limit)
Fat32 support maximum file size of 4gb per file. Try coping a file which is bigger than 4gb, SD card with fat 32 fails to copy.....exfat doesn't have this limitation.
Redmi note 3 or any phone that is labelled as 32gb supported can support SDXC upto 2Tb micro SD card,if you format that card to fat32. Ya you have 4gb file limitation...low and mid range phones avoid exfat license fee with Microsoft.
Also remember windows default format tool won't give option like fat32 when formatting 64gb or above. You only get exfat and NTFS. You need to use third-party formatting tools and format 64+GB card as fat32 to use it in officially labelled as 32gb supported phones. So thats why top range htc, Samsung, Sony with SD support labels upto 2tb, bcz they pay exfat formart support royality to Microsoft..
Hope this sd card doubts are cleared
format it to ext4 via twrp and when offered to format via android system just ignore.

Are there any advantages to formating the SD card to FAT32, other than being able to flash a ROM from it? I don't know if I'll ever flash a ROM that way, but I'm about ready to copy a bunch of tunes and install some GPS maps to my 6 GB SanDisk SDHC, and wonder if there would be any advantage(s).

I could be wrong but I thought it was to make the partitions larger then 2 gig. Just like when Windows 95 was in the transition from going from FAT16 to FAT32. FAT16 can see only 2 gig FAT32 can see up to 32gig. I remember having an 8 gig hard drive that had 4 partitions of 2 gig each with FAT16. FAT32 uses smaller clusters (4 KB for memory up to 8 GB), resulting in 10 to 15 percent more efficient use of space. That is all I am aware of. Maybe someone else has some insight.
So does that mean that my 6GB SDHC is already FAT32? If I put it in a card reader on my PC, will properties tell me what it is?

If you are seeing 6 gig on the memory card as one partition then yes it should be in FAT32. I think the PC properties will just say FAT.
my 8 gb was fat32 by default. I think all SDHC cards are fat32. I think i seen an option to format to NTFS. Any benefit over that?

My 2 gig was FAT in the PC, got a 8 gig last weekend and it came FAT32 from Sandisk, as the post above is correct FAT (16) is limited to 2.1 gigs per partition because the File Allocation Table is able to handle only that, but FAT 32 is needed for more than that, and your PC will show that under Properties for the device.

I am not sure that Windows Mobile could even recognize NTFS.
Not even worth messing with

Don't bother as I bet it would not even read or write it, and there would be no advantage anyway as mostly NTFS (Windows NT Filesystem) is mostly for file privilage and security anyway, no speed or capacity help at all.
Pros
1 - Fat32 is compatible with just about any device you would put it in
2 - Uses space more efficiently than Fat
3 - Bootloader can read it
Cons
1 - Has a limit of 2GB filesize.
2 - Not as efficient as NTFS in using space. Will waste space proportional to number of files saved.
Very short list...I'm sure there are some more in both categories.
I keep it Fat32 simply because if I need to trasfer a file from one computer to another (I have an 8GB card) I don't have to worry about compatability issues.
And as someone else said I'm pretty sure NTFS isn't even readable by any phone.
I was wondering if i could use a 64gb sd card on my ham2. I currently have a 32gb but thats a bit small for me. Thanks

I am using a 64gb and have heard 128gb work too. I use a fat 32 partition and link2sd and use external sd as main storage.
I too am using 64GB -- formatted to FAT32. If I recall, my card was pre-formatted with 2 partitions which the phone will not recognise. If you format it to NTFS, TWRP might not recognise it in recovery mode. Windows will not format such a large drive as FAT32, so you will have to use another tool -- e.g. MiniTool.
The caveat is avoid using a (cheap) USB card reader. I've corrupted the card before when transferring too much data to the card. Newer readers built into your laptop or using the USB cable directly to the phone seem okay.

^^ Same as those guys, I also am using a 64gb card. No issues! Though surprisingly it made my Xperia bug out, lol
Just be sure you get something beyond first gen (40,MBS) cards. I have had 0 issues with anything up to 64gb I now have two 128gb cards that both work but get corrupted and require a format every time I attempt to transfer 10 + Gigs of information at a time.
HI All,
Does Redmi Note 3 pro support 64gb sd card?

I'm about to get a Redmi Note 3 Pro (ordered from Top One on Aliexpress, will arrive next week) and I'm wondering which MicroSD to buy. I saw that one, it has 22.000 reviews, 4.9 Stars average, I was wondering if the 128GB version would work with the Redmi Note 3 Pro.

FAT32 (never had NTFS)
has anyone tried with an exfat formatted card? I need mine on exfat, since I carry movies bigger than 4GB on it. Can anyone try if it works?
I'm pretty sure I had exfat but it asked me to format the card.

Afaik all MicroSD (also SDHC and SDXC) are supported up to 128GB. Maybe also above that, but thats what official supported.

I have accessed the SD Card with a SD Card reader in my windows computer. Then I deleted the exiting partition. Then I created a new one using FAT32. After this my Redmi 3 pro could access the sd card.
Hope this help you.

Exfat can work only on custom ROM along with custom kernel which has a built in support for this.'
Otherwise you will have to live with FAT32 on 64GB or above (just like I am)

Format the micro SD card to far32 if you are using stock kernel. Otherwise it will work fine on custom kernel.

You have tested a ext2/3/4 filesystem and it worked in the device w/MIUI ? I doubt xfs Or f2fs would work....
I might try ext3 later and report back

Yes, it's compatible.
Make sure it is formatted fat32 by the phone.
Even I used the sandisk class 10 128gb on the first day without any problem. But you must formatted to fat32. I used guiformat to format it.

The only Disadvantage of fat32 filesystem is you cannot transfer a "single file" more than 4 GB.
And yes Xiaomi Rn3 supports upto 128GB memory cards On fat32 filesystem.
Can I use a 512GB SD card in poco F1 ...
official support up to 256GB.
or if I flash Custom Rom can I use it????
You should be able to as in most cases the limit is not locked by the software. If you can use a 64Gb sd card then you should be able to use a card up to 2Tb ( this being the limit, theoretically imposed, on the SDXC type cards).
Again, haven't tried but you should be able to.
The cards that are supported are only listed for what is available at the time of the phones release. As 1Tb cards are only just now starting to pop up most phones still only say 512Gb sd card supported as they haven't been tested by the manufacturer before release. False advertising to say it will support the biggest and best if it hasn't been tested and leaves thee manufacturers open to lawsuits if this information proves false...

all Android Phones! , the rule is same! Android doesn't support ext4 or ntfs, just exFAT
internal storage however is maintained by Kernel itself! so its possible to store file having size above 4gb

It's not really true. I have >4GB files on my SDcard right now. (Xiaomi.eu, but for a long time used normal Global MIUI (Stable and Beta)).
Android doesn't support ntfs "from the box", it's true, but no problem with ext4, exfat or files > 4GB.
exFAT supports files greater than 4gb... That's why I use this instead of FAT32, be aware, dsome older Chinese branded phones CAN'T use exFAT. These are stuck using 4gb files or less on sd card but that was a phone I purchased a few years ago, most seem able to handle exFAT now, if they support micro SD cards that is...
