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.
On the 11.11. a lot of Websites in China have sales and the saving are going to be huge. Just or the v10 it's going to be 370 canadian dollars. From all of the phones right now i was drawn by the LETV Le Max Pro with the SD820 etc but the development is not as good, no sd card slot. No removable battery etc. So I looked at the v10 and it's a great deal. They are offering H961 dual sim, H901 and H900?
Since I am in Canada, what is the best option and/or are there any major differences in the h900/h901 since i am not a fan of dual sim (no development ever)
Hi, any website with Note 8 128gb ? i don't find it anywhere ...
Thanks
I doubt it'll appear—it's a classic Samsung tune, with every model since Note 2 they've been promising a “Luxury” of whatever version of the same model, always with double the storage. They've never materialized…
Isn't it like a market exclusive? I know they have 128GB versions of the S8+ in Korea.

A 128GB Note 8 would be brilliant but I'm just happy we're getting 64GB as a base option even if Micro SD is included.
It may be because the 128gb and 256 GB versions in Korea might not have the expandable memory option. Idk

In my opinion the reason Samsung does this is the higher storage options also happen to be the "dual SIM" version. Same goes with the 128gb version of the HTC U11.
I believe they expect you to use both slots for SIM cards and therefor give you more storage space to make up for it.
I personally think this sucks. Yes, the SD is fine for "media" (photos, videos, books, documents etc) but the default "download" folder is internal, most apps place cache on internal, and Games, did I mention Games yet? I would Love to own a 256gb note AND have an SD card for media, but Samsung and HTC disagree with me and think 64gb for apps and games is more than enough.
This when Apple offers 32gb, 128gb, and 256gb Iphones (and the rumors for the soon to be released point to 64,256,512!!!)
Seriously, Android is always about compromises and the manufacturers lecturing us that they know best (region specific storage, RAM, colours, in LG's case DACs, etc) Yes, Android is about choice, just not our choices.

Yes I agree. I could care less about expandable memory if you give me 256gb or more of internal storage. Especially when like you said I have a limited amount of apps I can actually move to my sd card. But I feel like alot of U.S customers actually care about that which is why Samsung justifies keeping it in the U.S market and can get away with the 64gb version. Even though manufacturing wise it probably would have been easier for them to just crank out just a 128gb and 256gb internal storage version

You forgot to mention that Apple charges an extra $100 for each memory step up. I'm not willing to pay $1130+tax for a 256gb Note 8

That is the thing about choice.
Just because you are not willing to, doesn't mean others are not!
I would gladly pay a premium for a higher capacity phone. If you are not, purchase the base model, we both win!
It should be avaible in Australia !!!

True, but this model is imported from Hong Kong and not officially released in the Australian market.
Do you have any indication if the 128gb will be released in Hong Kong in a dual-SIM variant?
Currently I have a 64gb dual-SIM Exynos version on pre-order, but I'd gladly pay a Premium for a dual 128gb that's Exynos.

Sorry, I have no idea. Being from Australia, I don't own the Hong Kong model and don't know what will and won't work in Singapore on the HK model.
In mexico the only version officially available is the exynos 128 GB
Can anyone tell me if the dual SIM models have a dedicated SD slot? I have found conflicting information on this so far?
I'm currently driving a V20 dual SIM and have 2 Sims and an SD card installed simultaneously.
Will there be a dual SIM version with an unlocked bootloader?
Thanks in advance.

Think all of them are dual SIM and the SD card actually sits where the other SIM would go just sideways. So you can run dual SIM but no SD card
I would love it if this phone did come out with a dual sim variant (not hybrid sim).
Korea never gets Dual Sim models. They are typically for countries such as China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, etc.
Also there seems to be select models that have 6GB of RAM instead of the 4GB that is standard.
The dual SIM V30+ is available now for pre-order in some Middle East countries. Pre-ordered mime on Eglobalcentral, will report as soon as it arrives.

Please show a recent legitimate link showing that? There were false rumors that the V30+ would have more RAM but it does not, it just has more internal storage. No recent news article or review I have read mentions any models with more RAM than 4GB.
Even on August 31, some outlets were falsely saying "select" markets would get 6GB RAM, because even then they were thinking the V30+ had more RAM. Show me a news article or link from October or even better show me something from LG?
For what it's worth, I just checked nearly all localizations of LG's websites that list the V30 specs, no one of them states 6Gb of RAM. Only 4.

Yeah many of the sites that I had checked no longer have the information. It looks like a bunch of third-party online retailers had made product pages for the phone using rumors and unconfirmed "facts", then smaller-scale blogs started reporting that false data as factual.
Hi
1. I am looking at purchasing two Samsung Galaxy S9+ Plus (256 GB) G965FD Dual Sim (SIM-Free / Unlocked) phones from a UK company in Leeds UK called Empire Hut. They are imports and are sourced from the UAE and are brand new sealed boxed. The company (Empire Hut) give a two year warranty but if there is a problem it is handled by them who send to/from Samsung. I have no problem with that.
I will be putting them on the a BT SIM only (4GB) contract because I am already with them and can get a good family deal at £10 monthly for the 1st SIM and £8 for second SIM.
Some questions if I may!
a). I live in a very poor signal area and will be using Wifi calling always in the house. Both phones we have at present are Samsung S7's and work successful in this mode in my house. Also looking at the BT site they list many phones that do support wifi calling and list the S9+
I asked Empire Hut if they knew if these imports (G965FD Dual Sim)(different supporting configuration) would work using Wifi calling, because it is important to my wife and myself that they do. The operative did not know the answer and would not commit herself in chat. I also asked the new guy in the new Samsung shop just opened in Reading Berkshire and he is fairly sure it does. Does anyone on this forum know for certain because they already do it?, Perhaps I am being overcautious with this question? Belt and braces so to speak.
b). Browsing the internet (as one does), I did read somewhere that the ROM versions are different (region specific) and certain payment systems (samsung pay) will not work. This is not important to me and is not a show stopper.
c). Also searching I saw mentioned (sorry no link) that I may not be able to update this android system (regional differences) with the latest patches. Has anyone any information on whether this is true or false?
I would be most grateful if anyone can advise on these 3 questions and also if anyone has knowledge of any other potential pitfalls (if any) operating this UAE version of the S9+ in the UK. Extensive searching reveals nothing.
I look forward gratefully to any replies.
Kind regards and Thank you.

I bought the S9+ 256GB Dual SIM in Dubai. Thing is that you'll have to flash any Official ROM from your region that supports VoLTE/WiFi calling, because the ROM from UAE (XSG) has VoLTE and WiFi calling disabled by software.
I've tried everything and only flashing Indian (INS) ROM solved it (I live in Argentina and here Samsung sells Snapdragon version, instead of Exynos one).
My case flashing INS Official ROM didn't trip Knox, and flashing official ROMs without any customization shouldn't trip it. But have in mind it can happen (read a couple of people had that). So do it at your own risk and only flash it with ODIN.
I think you'll have to flash BTU ROM in order to have your region stuff (VoLTE, WiFi calling, Samsung Pay)
Oh, about updates don't worry, unless you root your phone ot flash any custom ROM, you'll continue getting updates for your phone via OTA.

Hi Peter,
You're in luck since the UAE S9+ is NOT region locked, which means as soon as you insert a British SIM card, the device will prompt you to reset it, which will change the devices CSC (Carrier Specific Customization) to UK Unlocked, once the phone restarts and you set it up, it will function as if it was an S9+ bought directly from Samsung UK.
Question 1) The S9+ sure does support both VoLTE and WiFi calling, as long as you activate the phone with a British SIM card, and then do a factory reset right after, you'll get WiFi calling.
Question 2 and 3) Yes, they are technically different. Since the UK and UAE have a slightly different update schedule, you will have to manually flash your device to the latest UK firmware to continue getting software updates as they are released for the UK.
After converting your devices CSC to UK as I mentioned in the answer to your first question, you'll have to flash this UK firmware:

Thank you very much for the comprehensive reply. You have covered all my questions that has made me review my thinking.
I was not specifically wanting a dual SIM card option phone, it was just that the larger storage of 256gb for the S9 Plus from UAE came with that option and was a reasonable price.
Going through all the hoops is not appropriate for myself and my wife when a single SIM phone will do nicely and fits our needs, so I have decided not to go forward with getting one from UAE, but get a 64gb European version one (G965FZKADBT) that is sold by Debenhams UK and fit it with a Samsung Mobile UK 128 GB 100 MB/s Class 10 U3 Memory Evo Plus MicroSD card, or even a 256gb card.
Taking this route is only £20 more per phone. Hardly worth worrying about, given that I get the full support from Samsung UK where it is sourced from. Samsung do not make a 64gb version for the UK market, only a 128gb version. They know that anyone in the whole of the EU can source that smaller 64gb size (with the german code ADBT) from the EU and fit with the appropriate size memory card. I spoke to debenhams who spoke to Samsung to confirm.
As a matter of interest the prices for the S9+ are as follows:
From UAE are £569 (128gb) and £599 (256gb). (no Samsung support) (I can sell my phone on ebay for £140)
From Samsung with UK firmware £769 (128gb) Can get £150 cash back for S7 phone = £619). (with UK support).
From Debenhams UK with EU software (identical software as UK) it is £599 (64gb). I can fit this with a 128gb card at £20 (totals £619) or £41 for a 256gb card (total £640). Also I can get £140 for my S7s.
Do you have any comments on this? How about micro SD cards for 4k recording or 1080p?
Thanks again.

Go with whatever route is cheapest for you, since all the phones are the same.
I went with the 64 GB S9+ and I've got a 64 GB SDCard in it. Plenty of storage for me and I'm not even close to occupying all of it.
I'm not sure if Samsung allows 4K recording to SDCards, however 1080p should be fine. You can record 4K to internal storage and then shift to SDCard after you're done.

1. When you say this, are you saying the path/route is fixed by internal coding or is it down to the detection of the type of memory or the flash memory speed?
2. Once shifted to a microsd card, presumably it play it from there?
3. I have experience of a microSD UHS memory card, because I purchased a larger one( to V30 standard) from DELKIN to use on my Dashcam because I saw errors with a lower standard card.
4. On the subject of memory types, do you have any recommendations for memory types/standards? I would be after the fastest. I do understand the differences and classes?
Kind regards and thanks again.

1) I believe fixed by internal coding. Don't think the phone can detect the type of SDCard inserted, although I could be wrong.
2) Yes.
4) Not that I know of. Most newer class 10 and UHS-1 cards should work fine. To rule out any compatibility issues, grab yourself a Samsung EVO SDcard and use that.

Not really. I am not interested in the S9 and I have misquoted for th S9+. It should read, £589 from 3 separate vendors. I consider within £10 is OK when I can pick up the phone and ask relevant question. Anyway at no time was I was asking forum members where I could get it cheaper.
Thank you very much for your interest in my financial circumstances.
Have a nice day.

I bought the S9+ 256GB Dual SIM in Dubai. Thing is that you'll have to flash any Official ROM from your region that supports VoLTE/WiFi calling, because the ROM from UAE (XSG) has VoLTE and WiFi calling disabled by software.
I've tried everything and only flashing Indian (INS) ROM solved it (I live in Argentina and here Samsung sells Snapdragon version, instead of Exynos one).
My case flashing INS Official ROM didn't trip Knox, and flashing official ROMs without any customization shouldn't trip it. But have in mind it can happen (read a couple of people had that). So do it at your own risk and only flash it with ODIN.
I think you'll have to flash BTU ROM in order to have your region stuff (VoLTE, WiFi calling, Samsung Pay)
Oh, about updates don't worry, unless you root your phone ot flash any custom ROM, you'll continue getting updates for your phone via OTA.

Do you mean to say that the Indian ROM fixes VoLTE with an Argentine SIM card? Very interesting!

Forgive me, what has this got to do with my original question? Gone off topic I would say.
