So I'm wondering if anyone has tried. I have a 256GB card already that works fine but I'm running out of space (Yes I'm carrying quite a lot of music with me and yes I do see it as a good thing) my music collection is bigger than 256GB and would like to carry more so that's why I asking.
I know the max is 256GB but I don't know if that's down to hardware (and card slot) or what
No one?
From my knowledge it's only up to 256, so if you get a 512, it may not work. Sorry haven't tried it yet, but as per the spec of poco it's only up to 256. I had a different phone before, a galaxy a8 2018 which suppprted up to 256 as well and when i tried my friend's 512gb it didn't recognize it, so most likely same will happen with the poco

you can use a 512gb sd card, but as soon you reach the 256gb full, files will get damaged and sd will fail to be recognized by the phone...

I would also have like to use a 512GB card. Does anyone know why this limitation exists? Is it a hardware constraint with the card reader, or a firmware or O/S constraint? I naively thought that SDXC compatibility would allow anything up to 2TB, but it's clearly not as simple as that.

That was definitely not my experience with other phones. Usually cards with higher than phone rated capacity work just fine.
From my understanding when phone manufacturers say up to 256 gb SD card supported they are saying that cause at that point of time that's the highest SD card available in the market. Most phones that can support 256gb will support higher capacities too.

The Pocophone F1 was released long after 400GB SD cards appeared on the market, yet they only state support for 256GB??

Interesting video - thanks. So in theory a FAT32-formatted 512Gb SD card should be supported by any phone that supports FAT32 and SDXC? It's a shame there isn't a more recent video which tries 512GB cards in current smartphones.
In older days, when external storage limited size was 32Gb some Motorola's users (including me with Rokr Z6) used to divide 64Gb as two 32Gb mountable partitions.
You can try it too.

lucky you, or maybe i was using cheap cards on cheap phones ?
I have a 512Gb Huawei memory card on my Poco F1 working fine, I haven't reached the 256Gb capacity because I've just received today. But so far so good ?
Lexar 512GB 633x (black / blue) from Aliexpress is working fine. At the moment 217GB is filled on the card.

Sir,
Sir,
I don't know if you have found an answer to your question as of yet but I have. I've purchased several different 512gb cards knowing that I had some use for them somewhere. The fact is that the Poco F1 does see 512 gigabytes... And then down the rabbit hole we go. After about 20 to 30 minutes of you installing the card and moving over all kinds of information, the Poco F1 begins to forget things. That's the only way I know how to put it. all the sudden some of the stuff that you have moved over to the card is not reachable even though you still see some of the shortcuts or some of the things that point to it depending on what program you're using and the next thing you know after about an hour and a half two hours it also can't find those either and then some of the program start to crash. These are not programs that I have you some third-party where to move over to the card at all. I didn't move over any software to the card I'm just talkin about moving over some of the things that it was to the card. and then you'll notice after a few more hours that the card is unreadable. The way that you can fix this is to go ahead and put it into any computer and I used a program called mini it's a freeware program to recover the lost partition. then I put it right back in the phone and at first the phone fights with and everything else but you can get it to look at it and see it again only to repeat the exact same problem over and over and over again. The problem seems to be exacerbated if you were to use a torrent program to save data to the driver's if it was a download folder from multiple sources at once. I tried everything I could. I even tempted fate a little bit by saying if I could use aparted the cell phone version in order to partition the drive into two different types of partitions one of them course being the f2fs partition I was trying to see if I could successfully divide the memory card into two partitions so that the computer or cell phone would see them as two separate entities does relieving the problem of it seeing larger than 256. this was not successful though I cannot promise that I did everything correctly. I would greatly appreciate any information you happen to have about this. I have several of these 512gb cards and some of which I saved a lot of money on some of which I spend a lot of money on but they all seem to operate the exact same with the exact same problem. if you had any suggestions on how to add that to a Asus tablet that I'm now having the exact same problem with and much lower micro SD card total capacity sizes than the Poco F1 s I would greatly appreciate that too. The Asus laptop that I'm dealing with is an Asus e203m and it comes with 32GB of real special fast memory that uses hard drive and so you can see we're picking this up for almost nothing is a great deal provided that you're a little tech-savvy can work with clouds quite a bit and hopefully find the solution to the problem and adding a 500 gigabyte micro SD card. The problem is that you can't partition those the way that you'd like or you think that you could. but for me I really love computers and love to turn branches on the weekend so to speak. I'd also love to learn anyting you might be willing to share about partitioning and the like.I know that windows will only see the first partition of a microSD card. but then who wants to be limited to just Windows anyway.

Hit "Like" If this helped.
I have Samsung Evo Select 512 gigs and been using it since 6 months.
I have it full almost 90-95%+ full everytime as i load a lot of movies in it. During the time of writing it was 97% full.
It is formatted to exfat and is working perfectly.
There is no data loss or anything like that after 256 gigs.
I hope this answers all your questions.
If you have any more questions just let me know.

Hey guys.
I know that 64GB micro SDXC Cards are no supportet by our X10.
But has someone here testet this ?
http://androidcommunity.com/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-working-on-multiple-android-devices-20110927/
Well, well, well...This would be an early christmas for me if it works. Have been forced to constantly streamline my music collection and dare I say with the new Xperia specs showing just 32GB internal storage and no micro SD card support, I sincerely hope Sony, that if it is true, it is a one off experiment. The average consumer hungers for more storage each time, fact.
Even the newer phones came out these few months only supports 32GB micro SD.
And by the way, I thought all Xperia phones are using micro SD?

Guys I' taking the plunge. If you see the youtube clip from the 1st post, all we need is to format it (probably with a SG SII) which should change the format to fat32 readable by our devices. If it should come to the worst I'll flog it on the SG II xda site or ebay.
Update 14/11/11 64GB micro SDXC Card works flawlessly with X10. Simply insert new card, phone will not recognise the format and will give message that card is damaged. Simply format (which is erase micro sd option on X10) and ENJOY!

mhmm, thats because they created a new data format for SDXC and we're reformating to SDHC standard? I'll think i'll get a 64gb Card Not like the 128gb versions will come out soon, right ?

It's not about the reformat. It's lower than that.
When id comes to SDcard readers, micro or normal, there are basically two types:
Type 1:
Hardware/firmware-driven, that uses it's own hardware to manage the basic functions of the SD-card and presents is as an UMS device (USB Mass Storage)
The benefit from those readers are less utilisation of the main CPU followed by higher throughput.
The backside is the limited support of what standards it can use.
Type 2:
Software/"dumb" reader. It'll just provide a "physial" connection to the underlying USB-system, and presents it "as is": a SD-card flash memory.
In this "dumb" mode, the Operating system must provide all the routines in order to communicate properly with the attached SD-card.
The benefit with those are full range compatibility with future standards, but it depends on software, drivers and the main CPU, which might result in slightly lower speeds and "sluggishness" as the IO-operations increases.
However, if the OS and the SDHC/SDXC drivers in question is poorly optimised, the hit on the CPU can be drastically high whenever a read/write occurs.
So, which one is prefered then?
It's up to the manufacturers of the hardware and the operating system.
In our case here, Android can use both UMS devices, as well as generic/default SDHC and SDXC flash cards.
In my opinion, the type 2, "dumb" readers, are the "best" ones.
The only limitations of what cards these readers can use, is only limited by the operating system and the kernel modules/drivers provided.
And the "load" on the CPU as generally so small it's often neglectable, provided the drivers and OS is well optimised.
Which type the X10 smartphone uses I cannot tell.
I simply don't know, but it sounds promising, as there haven't been any "corrupted data" reports from the few who are using 64GiB cards...
... yet!
If the X10 smartphone does utilise the type 1 reader, the firmware/hardware based one, it might "kick back", as data stored beyond the 32 GiB limit of the readers limitation, might just "disappear into the void", never reporting any errors.
Users might notice this first when they try to access the previous stored files and finds out the content returned are just a stream of nulls. (null = digital void, nothing, nada, true zero, blank)
If and When this happens, only time can tell.
Someone has to try fill the card "to the brim", and copy back the content verifying everything is correct and proper.
Not just the filenames and filesizes, but also the content itself. (Checksum methods should suffice)
Just to +1 the above post. When the manufacturer states a maximum card size its not what the phone can mount but what it can reliably use. There's a good chance that you'll have corruption if you continue to use it.
Anyone got any news on this?
Does it truly work with all 64 Gibibytes, or is only half of it useful as I suspect?
got ne for myself! Sandisk Class 6 64gb !
Have something like 40gb full. Works well!
Awesome!

Wish i could -.- but somehow the Phone (or what ever, never took it out!) Corrupted the MicroSD Card!
Then Phone Plays dead with a Corrupted MicroSD Card. Wont start up !
put the Card into SD Card and reade on my computer and that one says corrupted format. Need to reformat -.- But then "Computer cant Format that card" -.-
AND the Card gets ****ing HOT! nearly burnt myself! more than 50°C for sure! Also only shows 30MB space! But i had over 40gb data on it! so its a real one!
Guess i'll got an defective Card -.-
But about the Read/write values. had something like 6-7mb write and 30mb read.

I thought I would pick the brains of the T-Mobile users and see what their opinions of the rumors floating around about the S6. I'll start it off with the rumor I heard that Samsung is not going to use the Qualcomm processors in the s6 due to heating problems and will instead use their xynos chipset. How do you all feel about this?
I'm personally hoping this isn't true because development for xynos devices has been dismal. I'm available to jump next month but if this is true I may opt out of upgrading to the s6 and see what the mobile conference unveils.
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
Not necessarily the same but there is a section for the International S6 already here if you want to discuss more about the device.
It didn't seem like the S6 was going to have both a removable battery and a MicroSD card slot so that ruled it out for me. Then when my S2 died I had to buy something available today. I couldn't wait for the S6, so I got the S5.

I always prefer an sd card..always. I am not one to use cloud storage and constantly back up my phone. I put all my backups, photos, music and custom ringtones on the sd card. If the phone for whatever reason cannot turn on, (drop, brick, water damage, etc) I can still pop out the sd card, slide it into the replacement and within minutes have everything the same as the now deceased phone.

It's not always about having the storage space. I use folder mount and it helps greatly. Partly plays with what Kenny is saying. In addition, 32 and higher gig devices usually average a much higher price tag where a 16gig is prefectly fine with a micro SD card. But the killer for me was the 5.6 inch screen. Please Samsung make it at most 5.1. Keep your note series the one to have larger screens.

Bingo. Having an SD card is not always about extra storage. It's about having safe, removable storage that can survive even if there's a hardware failure on the phone (like what has happened to me many times over the years).
Doing away with removable batteries and MicroSD card slots is anti-consumer. Every cell phone I've had for over 10 years has had both of these basic features. I'm not about to go about legitimizing anti-consumer products by purchasing them. I'll vote with my money, and I refuse to "vote" for things that are anti-consumer and send the incorrect message to the manufacturers that this is ok.

Maybe with the 128GB. I have a 64GB SD card in my S5 and it's nearly full...along with my internal storage. It's not just music and videos, either. There are several things that I need that require lots of storage space (offline maps for my offline nav app, lots of work stuff, etc.), so 32GB or 64GB will not cut it for me. The problem is that the 128GB versions of devices are usually ridiculously overpriced compared to SD cards. I much prefer to just have the SD card slot.
Just wondering if anyone has tried yet? I've been using a Samsung EVO 128GB for over a year without problem, hoping that a 256GB version might work as well.
Well, my 200GB Sandisk Ultra MicroSD works, so it should work fine. 256GB is bloody impossible to locate in any shop, though.
The MicroSD size listed in the specs is based on what's available in the market at the time of release, and isn't updated. However, these devices theoretically support MicroSD cards up to well within the TB's. You may have to format it as EXFAT instead of FAT32, though. (Though why anyone would want to use FAT32 with it's 4GB filesize limit is beyond me. The average 1080p MKV film is 20GB.)
Mind you, it's a P905.

I bought a p907a the other day, but haven't received it yet. I'm presently running an SM-P605v and using a 128 gig card with it.. Works fine.
I'll let you know about the p907a after I get mine. Blessings
I got my SM-P907a about two weeks ago tomorrow. A 128 Gig card works wonderfully with the tablet. I just love this thing. It has much better capabilities than the SM-P605v.
I am using a Samsung 256GB Micro SD card in my SM-P900.
It works but at each startup it takes a very long time to scan for errors.
I don't know it this is supposed to happen at every reboot?
I'm looking for either a 128gb or 256gb micro sd card and I want to have the same experience as using the internal storage for recording 4k/superslowmo and using apps on sd cards.
But I don't want to overspend either, I don't know up to what speeds/classes the phone can utilize.
There's cards like Samsung evo plus 128gb for 60euro, cards like lexar 1000x 128gb at 95 euro with UHS II Bus all kinds of things I got lost in the sea of classes and speeds.
What cards did you guys get and can anyone recommend me something?

Is this still a problem? I prefer to always have my stuff encrypted and had this same issue, so slow it's almost unusable. Wondering if any of the updates or anything have fixed this issue or not.

Yes, it's still a problem in Oreo. I have up to 10mb/s with enabled encryption.

Have you tried any other micro SDs or just the Samsung Evo+? I was thinking about getting the 2017 one, Samsung Evo Plus 256GB, but it seems like it will probably be the same, I think the only difference between that 2016 version is 10MB/s on Read speed. Would be interesting to see if certain cards do better than others, I would like to know if a A1 rated card also has this problem.
Hey guys. Thanks for all the helpful input. What would you say is the primary benefit of the additional storage of a 128GB to 256GB SD Card? I feel like on other phones without expandable memory, I never really reach capacity on 64GB models. So I probably used more cloud storage out of necessity and just got used to it. What are you guys using all this glorious storage for?

4k por... Oops I mean scientific ebooks etc.
All jokes aside... Having that bit of extra storage can give you the freedom to record, capture and download as you please!
Especially for people like me who hardly use online storage. I have the Samsung Evo Plus 256gb (2017 version) and I have so many 4k HDR10 movies and documentaries stored on it. I also dont have to worry about running out of space by constantly shooting 4k videos.
Having higher storage takes away all the limitations of having to transfer your files whenever you need to download new material.
I'm getting 72mb/read and 40mb/write even though the Micro SD card is capable of achieving higher speeds. This is due to the phone and I hope that android will find a way around this with upcoming updates, unless it's a hardware issue of course.
These speeds are more than enough for regular everyday use as I haven't faced any issues with reading/writing colossal files.
Hope this helps

You had me at 4k por... LOL. But seriously, I have never even seen 4K video let alone shot in 4K, so I am looking forward to checking it out on this glorious screen. Still think I may only opt for 200GB unless I find a really good deal (I will check the model you listed above). Doubt I will be able to even fill that but who knows. LOL. Thanks again.

Just to verify, you don't have encryption enabled for the microSD card correct?

Hey guys. Can someone please give me their thoughts on the MicroSD card linked below? Thinking of buying but not sure I need 256GB and the price is pretty reasonable on this 200GB. Thoughts?
https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-200GB-Micro-SDSDQUAN-200G-G4A/dp/B00V62XBQQ/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1512495531&sr=1-4&keywords=256gb+micro+sd+card&refinements=p_n_feature_two_browse-bin%3A13203835011
I want to change my 256GB MicroSD card to a 400GB one but my supplier says it won't work in the M5.
I don't think there is a reason why it shouldn't but has anyone tried a 400GB and can confirm it's working?
works fine in mine. i have never had an issue putting in a larger sd card no matter that the manufacturer said was compatible
It works..but without root it's totally unnecessary cause huawei doesn't allow "app2sd"

i do have mine rooted. I never bother to move apps to the sd card. I do however keep a 100gb of music, tons of video, and like to keep twrp backups for a long time. So it is easy to run out space on a 256gb card.

You mean it's unnecessary for you.,,
Like the previous poster I also like to fill up my SD card with lots of music and other data for offline use.
My 256GB card only has 218GB usable storage when formatted with ext2FS instead of the expected 238GB.
Why is that?
Using this app I have been successful with moving q lot of apps so my SD card.

I have the Samsung brand card. You need to be careful buying no name cards especially on eBay. There are a lot of counterfeit ones out there that will read as the large advertise in your PC but are actually smaller ones.

Ok thank you for the advice.
I ll try to buy the card from a local store or sold by amazon and not a reseller.
My tablet is not rooted, do you think it will make a difference for the 512GB SD card to be recognized properly ?

All my tablets and phones are rooted, so I can't say 100%. ...but at least 99% sure it won't make a difference.
Usually vendors are listening supported sd cards available at the moment of the device release. Over the years, I'm using high capacity sd cards in many devices which are not supporting them officially. Never had an issue. Only couple of times had to format it in the device itself.

Ihave to buy microSD or sdxc?
I would say (maybe not completely correct) that microsd is describing physical format, sdxc or similar technical specifications, like speed. Sdxc should work. I can check later which type I have.
