Of course it will work, but be careful with sandisk sd cards, they have tendency to lose connection with phone... Non HC cards are max. 2GB, so they are rather trash comparing to HC, or XC (64 GB) cards

microSDXC technically maxes out at 2048 GB (2 TB). Also, I've never encountered this disconnection problem people keep talking about. Using a 64 GB SanDisk microSDXC in my phone. If yours does, I would recommend you take it back to the retailer to swap it out.

Get one of these instead: http://www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd/extreme-uhs-i/?capacity=32GB
It's their new series. While it wont reach its potential maximum in the Xperia Z, it will in your next phone.
You should know that the phone can take 64 GB cards without any problems. I have one of these in my phone and you can't go wrong with that card either. But as I said I would go for the faster card. If nothing else, the faster card will be MUCH quicker to backup into something which does support UHS-1 speeds, like most laptops and ultrabooks do these days.

Lies, all lies, the reason behind the lies was that most 64GB microSDXC cards come pre-formatted to exFAT, and if people have used them in something else, sticking them in Android would cause them to be formatted, making users lose data. So they said "we don't support 64GB cards", even when theoretically the reader won't have any problems with 2048GB cards assuming such cards existed. OK, I don't know for a fact that 2TB cards would work (hard when they don't exist ), but a 256GB card likely wont cause any trouble for example. There was a guy who stuck a microSD to SD adapter in his Note II and used a 256GB SD card with that. Most likely the same will work on an XZ as the readers are quite indifferent to capacity as long as the cards adhere to a common format (in this case the SDXC standard). Obviously a microSD to SD adapter isn't practical with the XZ, but when larger cards come out they should work flawlessly in the XZ, as long as they are SDXC cards.
In 4.2. Sony added support for exFAT, since then the formatting problem wont occur so they thought it was safe enough to announce support I guess.
It annoys me a little when device specifications indicate a maximum filesystem size, because I know that is only dependant on which SD standard is in use (SDHC only supports up to 32GB) and on the filesystems available to the operating system. Really, when looking at device specifications, what should be indicated is which SD standards are accepted by the phone, and not the largest size the manufacturer has tested.

It will still work, you'll just have to format it to FAT32 prior to using it. I would suggest backing up and formatting to exFAT again once the 4.2.2 update drops for T-Mobile, considering the benefits of that filesystem such as filesizes >4.5GB and better Unicode support.

I'm wondering if the SanDisk Ultra SDXC 64GB would work in the HTC magic?
If it works, what file system is to be used? exFat doesn't work right? So Will I have to, like use partition magic to force a 64gb fat32 partition?
I have no experience with android 2.1 or any version for that matter, still awaiting delivery of my first android phone. The HTC Magic (unbranded, naturally)

Well it sounds like someone here has money to burn.
In theory it should work... however I haven't heard of anyone using one before so I cannot say for certain. Give it a try and let us know either way.
Do Not bother getting it. A friend of mine working for FCC center. I snagged one to try out. Man it does not work with any format. Seems like this is hardware of the phone that can not handle it. Friend got technician to look at it, they are all confused why not.
All newer phone from Nexus One, will all takes in the card and read and writes it. But just slow.
Plus $350 is a rip off. The MSRP price for a 64GB SDXC is on $210 to authorized premier resellers.

A few of the phone specs I've seen has said up to 32gb but from my experience they're pretty unreliable at updating those figures as newer and bigger cards get released, that's why I started this thread asking for confirmation.
I'm going to sell off my HTC MAGIC vodafone branded and buy , either samsung galaxy 9000 or the new HTC Desire HD (european EVO4G). I just can't decide yet.
Not all new phones are ready for sdxc memory cards. They are both hardware and software prerequisite.
I would do some research on what phone u want to get. But at same time galaxy s sux, sdxc. Do not work with the card.
Warning spoiler : galaxy s pro will be compatible with sdxc. The phone will only be exclusive in Korea.

What he said. You can't just pop an SDXC card on an SDHC-compatible device. It's like saying you're wearing size 14 shoes because your size 11 foot fits inside those shoes.
It wont work because (AFAIK) Android doesnt contain drivers for SDXC. If you insert a SDXC card into your Android device, it will problably just treat it as a SDHC card.

That's a regular SD c ard, not a micro format, there are no known 64gb micro SDXC cards in existence. Also a 32gb, regular SDHC card is still 65$ US - and that's class 4, I can't begin to imagine how much a 64gb SDXC is going to cost.
Also how reliable will it be, there's limits to this stuff when managing the size of flash chips.
Now it exist
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/26/kingmax-flaunts-worlds-first-64gb-microsd-card/
I'm pretty sure it will work - mine works in my SGSI, SGSII, Sensation, and Transformer.
http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed.html
Now that the cards are proven to exist
And ignoring the question of cost, which is not a technical concern
There are a few objective questions that might merit answers, such as:
1-Are the micro-SDHC and micro-SDXC physical formats, the card sizes and contacts, the same or not? Web posts say that they are and are not, apparently half of those posts are in error and it seems that if the sdxc cards are working in sdhc phones--they are?
2-Is a specific file system driver, in the phone's OS distribution, needed? If so, what?
3-Is a specific file system format of the sdxc card itself required? If so, what? (Presumably requiring a format on a computer that provides for that option if the phone doesn't.)
And then of course, a list of phones actually known and confirmed to work with the precious beasts.
Personally, yes, I think 64GB on the removeable card is ridiculous. But then again, it will cost less than an iPod Classic and it will let me take an extensive music collection "everywhere". Which my own 32GB card won't right now.
There's a reason the iPhone4S has a 64GB memory option now. For some of us, the extra memory will be gladly put to good and economical use. If our phones support it.
At present no phone fully supports microsdxc, even if it reads the card, you wont get the full size or speed from a phone, even the fastest phone on the market cannot take full advantage of the speed of present card, and most phones accepts microsdhc at class 2-10, but you only get low transfer rate, I have the new 16GB uhs1 microsdhc from both toshiba (class 10) and sandisk (class 6), both have verys low speed just like that of class 2-4 when used in mobile phones, so uhs 1 microsdhc is out of the question in mobile phone.
I also seen available the sandisk 64GB microsdxc available in hong kong, not really expensive when compared to the USA, it's approximate USD150, will get one next month to try out.
That's way better than the US prices. Please DO let us know how it works out.
Personally, I don't care about not having full xc speed, etc., I'd be happy just to double the storage capacity. Sandisk US has no interest in the matter, all they know is that Moto "only supports" 32GB. Which they really don't understand means only that no one has tested 64GB sdxc in the phone, so no one has anything to say about it.

hi kms108, I see you own an Xperia Ray. Did you try the 64gb sd in the Ray? Can you share with us if it works or not? While Googling I only find people speculating that since it works on the Play, it should work on the Ray too, but I hope you can confirm this for real..
Many of other recent devices have been confirmed that 64GB SDXC card work on those devices if it's been formatted by the phone. If other phones can work with SDXC, I'm sure our Thrill will work too.
If you purchased a Sandisk 64GB MicroSDXC card, please confirm here that it works. Thanks

Not sure if you read any of the posts I linked but in order for the SDXC to work with the Thrill, you have to format to FAT32 not ExFAT. ExFAT will not work. files over 4GB will not work.
ExFAT (tried with 8GB that is stock) is not compatible with the LG Thrill on 10K (European) Firmaware.
I tried the Windows selected default of 32kb and also "Default Allocation Size", both leave the OS complaining of damaged SD card.
(Can't wait for a Cyanagen Mod, I remember reading in the footnotes of the most recent release LG Thrill was on the list of upcoming; hopefully this will add EXT3 support.)

I was wondering if this phone supports micro SDXC cards? it would be nice to pop in a 64GB card. I keep running out of space on a 32GB micro SDHC.
Not sure about that but...
What I do when I run out of space is find out what flashable zips I'm currently using and keep those. Then I put the rest of them onto my computer in case I need them later. No need to keep every single zip I've ever used on my SD card.
Also GoogleMusic saves a lot of space that would normally be taken up by all my music.

FYI:
http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed.html
From Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#SDHC_and_SDXC_compatibility_issues
"SDHC and SDXC compatibility issues
In the 3.0 specification, the electronic interface of SDHC and SDXC cards is the same. This means that SDHC hosts that have drivers that recognize the newly used capability bits, and have operating system software that understands the exFAT filesystem, are compatible with SDXC cards. The decision to label cards with a capacity greater than 32 GB as SDXC and to use a different filesystem is due solely to the limitations in creating larger filesystems in certain versions of Microsoft Windows.[citation needed] Other operating system kernels, such as Linux, make no distinction between SDHC and SDXC cards, as long as the card contains a compatible filesystem.
SDHC and SDXC cards and hosts have these compatibility issues:
Existing SDHC hosts will only support the SDXC cards at up to UHS104 speeds.[45]
SDXC hosts are backward compatible with SD and SDHC memory cards.[62]
The operating systems that support SDXC, as of 2011, are: Linux (with a proprietary driver for the exFAT filesystem),[63] Microsoft Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1+,[62] Windows XP SP2 or SP3 with KB955704,[64] Windows Server 2008 SP1+, Windows Server 2003 SP2 or SP3 with KB955704, Windows CE 6+, Mac OS X 10.6.5 or later.[65]"

Was also about to ask about exFAT. It's that or EXT4, and I'd rather do exFAT unless there's compelling (kernel/app) reasons to stick to EXT4?

My micro SD card is 64G exFAT too. It works just fine in my Z1. Don't worry about that.

I had the choice between a superfast 32gb sdcard(sandisk extreme 80mb/S) and a normal 64gb card so I took the 32gb card simply because I hate to wait on the progress bar when moving things.
So would exFAT support also apply on a 32gb card? I mean it should right?

Did you check the speed of that card and the transfer rate that Z1 supports?
I want to buy a Sandisk but I don't know whether to buy Extreme (80Mb/sec read/50MB/sec write) or Extreme Pro (95Mb/sec read/90MB/sec write)
can somebody with a high speed microSD card measure the transfer rate with "SD Tools" for example and post here?

Ran a quick test and both write and read is around 40mb/s on my SanDisk Extreme 32gb card. An extreme pro card would do difference if you connect it to pcs alot.
I'm on my phone so sorry for not being able to embed the pic, open the link
The card supports 80MB/sec read and 50MB/sec write, so according to your post, if the trasfer read/write rate is 40MB/sec, maybe there is a limit of 40MB/sec on SD card slot of Z1.
Thanks a lot my friend, you covered me.[

From what I gathered from that app pretty much so. The limit seems to sit at 40/40mb which is pretty fast actually in my opinion - I already knew that there was no way that I could reach 80-90mb/s in reading speed but I did think that 30-35mb/s would be maximum.
But as I said, if you transfer over large files from a usb 3.0 connected sd card reader from your PC time will fly by with this card. because the write speed is excellent!

So the Sandisk Extreme 45MB/sec read/write will be ok with the device, no reason to buy to more expensive 80MB/sec
I got a Kingston 64 gig microSDXC (so-called 'class 10'), works fine. read/write is 35 & 15 mb/sec, respectively.
yes i test and work
It works for me too! Too bad you can't install apps on it without root access.
I've been having a lot of trouble with my new Xperia Z1.
I tried two different micro SD cards, one of 64gb and the other 8gb.
When I transfer music using Media Go, most of it can't be played or fast forwards(damaged files).
Photos I took were deleted a short while afterwards, others were damaged and could not be viewed.
Works like a charm for me:good:
Hello has anyone here tested if the Xperia Z supports the new 128gb SDXC-Cards?
I know that officially the Xperia-Z just works with cards up to 32gb but have also already read about 64gb Cards being used without any problem.
And if it should work with 128gb cards, then i rather buy the 128 instead of the 64gb SDXC as those should be future-proof.

It'd be great if it did. I know it works with 64GB cards as I've got one in mine at the moment. Sadly I can't afford to splash out on a 128GB card yet so I can't test.
Anybody else know?
Yea they are still kinda pricey, i guess it would still be more affordable to buy 2x64gb SDXC rather than one 128gb, but if you have a quite large music-collection there is no real alternative.
I was used to about 128gb (total capacity) on my old SGS3 before, and it was really convenient to have the music-library just a swipe away
Therefore iam looking for the same on the XperiaZ.
Lets see if someone here has the spare-parts to test
I too would like some feedback on this if possible, I am looking at buying a Xperia Z to go with my 128 GB MicroSD card I just bought, the ONLY use for this device will be as a media player, so don't want to get it for that intended use and it not do what I want.
I know this thread is almost a year old but I thought it's worth adding a new post to it.
I've just taken delivery of a 128GB SDXC card. It was on sale and I figured I'd risk it.
And it works! I slotted it into my XZ and suddenly I had huge amounts of storage space!
So yes, it works. Go get one now!!
Anyone tested 256gb micro sd on xperia z? ? I need one for countinous video recording.

Where did you get one of those from? I could do with a bigger card, mine is getting very full already..
It should work, in theory. Technically, if a phone can use a Micro SD card, it can use any capacity of Micro SD card.

No it depends on cpu and phone's ram. there could be unsupported sd card massage or some lag issues. even 1tb card is now available. I'm using a 64gb with no problem, but it's never enough for hd recording.
If you'd like to know the app for cvr try Recam.apk I don't know any better app, sth more complete eg for auto replacing old files and more quality options...
