Is a 128GB microSD Card Overkill for the Note 4?
Only you know what is on your card and how much of it you have. Some people hoard some don't.

I have a 128GB sd card on my Note 4 and have about 38GB of space remaining. I like to have nandroids of four or five different roms that I can go back and forth on - having a lot of storage makes that easier (of course I also have music and videos and tons of photos )
I have a 16GB card in there now. I got a $20 gift certificate to WalMart and that's all they had in stock when I went, so it's what I got. I plan on getting a 128GB or 64GB card later when money permits. I don't need a whole heck of a lot of space, but I do tend to use my phone as a flash drive on occasion and being able to keep a couple of recent nandroid's for restore purposes is quite handy. That being said I sill have about 8GB of free space on the card now. It has some music, my photo backup and a few APK's I commonly re-install when switching ROM's.
Other than that for my uses I find the built in 32GB to be plenty. My old S3 had 16GB and I didn't have an SD card in it. I never really had space issues.
I appreciate all the replies thus far, never a bad idea to buy a larger capacity microSD when they are on sale. I really don't see any real-world differences between my 64GB Evo and 32GB Pro (both Made by Samsung). Perhaps I should install the Pro on my GoPro Camera instead of the Note 4 and give the Note 4 more storage space, would that seem more feasible?
The Evo is also a Class 10- UHS spec.

I picked up a 64gb for 20$ at best buy during the crazy sales of black Friday.. Yu have to take advantage of those days
http://www.sammobile.com/2015/07/13/exclusive-samsung-galaxy-note-5-confirmed-with-4gb-ram/
Looks like 4GB is the new standard on phones 2015 and forward. I will be opting in for the Galaxy Note 5 when it is released. Anyone else jumping to the Note 5?
if it is dual sim and removable battery never mind the memory card
i definetly wont switch for ram it worths nothing.
I want open a 2nd line with a different service provider, so I will be probably get the Note 5 in October
4GB RAM was a given, what I want is MicroSD slot, 5.9inch Display and 64GB built-in mem.
That's not confirmed. Don't listen to hear say until Samsung announce because hear say always leads to disappointment.
Tbh instead of adding 4 gb of ram they should optimize touchwiz UI & reduce ram usage. Also they should remove those unnecessary bloatware apps.

The only thing I want is for it to have a base of 64gb of storage and not the crappy 32gb.

Is ram issues fixed in this toy? XD
Nope. No sd card slot Or removable battery = no note 5. Samsung don't listen. They just seem to copy. I don't want a big s6 or an iPhone. All they are doing is killing the note.

It seems that internal storage is becoming the standard. Right or wrong, pretty soon all smartphones will only have it and no sd card slot.
Regardless, there are some awesome Android devices coming out soon.
2015 Moto X
2015 Nexus
Note 5
These are my top picks for what I'm looking at getting. We'll probably see the Note 5 first, then Moto X then the Nexus.
If you're looking to keep external storage, you'll have to sacrifice specs and go with either G4 or Note 4.
At least with Android, you can use a USB OTG cable for extra storage and moving files around such as pictures or videos or downloads.

I aont buying a note 5 if there is no sd card support and exchangeable battery.
Seriously guys, all the speculation has to stop....you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Nothing is confirmed until Samsung themselves announce.

I look at it as planning for the future.
Hello, my Oneplus friends.
I'm an owner of the LG V10 and an Axon 7 Enhanced (6gb RAM model) and yet I'm still lurking around your boards, appreciating the blazing fast software and hardware features you have and the price it's all available at! Congratulations!
Forgive my noobness, my first time on a Oneplus board, but my question for you guys is... Where can we actually give feedback to Oneplus for including micro SD card support for the Oneplus 5, and will they even listen? ?
No, this is not a thread to seek advice on whether or not an SD card is needed on the phone and how the performance improves without it. Heck, even Samsung backtracked on this stance ?... What are your thoughts of micro SD support available on the Oneplus 5?
Thanks for all your responses!
I would argue more for on board 256gb and making more devices available to actually buy without the far too long waiting for stock.
I love SD cards, but the 128gb on board is very fast, and it's encrypted.
But you can try the one plus community forum
Yep. Open a new subjet on the forum of oneplus. I think it is the best to do. or there is probably somewhere to give feedback on oneplus's website

Thanks bud... No question Flash onboard storage is a good move on performance use cases, however, for someone like me that changes their phone every 6 months and likes continuity with my media and backups, it's not ideal. Cloud storage and even Google Photos are not quite there yet to moves thousands of files or extremely large files.

Thank you, yes did just that... Although I'm sure it's already too late for that feedback, but hey, worth asking . Only reason why I don't own a Oneplus phone ?.
P. S. What do you guys speculate in the 1+ community, chance of SD card coming?

I have a oneplus 3t (I juste get it this week) It work very well. I wanted the version with 128go, but it is still out of stock So I finished by buying the 64Go..But Like you i want a lot of space. I want a space for a sd card And I hope there is one in the next.
The best thing to do is, like other phone, put a sd card on the second sim card. so iwe have the choice of 2 sims card at the same time or 1 sd and 1 sim
honestly, I don't think a lot of people need 2 sims card...

While i do believe an SD card is nice especially for flashaholics they really aren't needed anymore. I myself don't understand the need for an amazing camera on a cell phone. But really if you need more than 64gb or even 32gb on a smartphone just buy a PC. But on the serious note.... What happened to the OnePlus 4?

It's like you said, bud... It's not an issue of having enough storage on the phone for your use, it's more of a case for portability of large data from device to device and asking for continuity with it. As you said... Flashoholics or Phonoholics, changing their device every 6 months ?.
Better question is, why not do it? Every major OEM does it now, Samsung went back to it. They even have a dual SIM slot to use for this ?.
Oneplus 4 is rumored to be named Oneplus 5, because 4 is considered bad luck in China. Oneplus's parent company have done this in the past for their other phones and brands... That's my understanding.

Can't agree more. Just got my 1+ 3T today - my old Xperia ZU reached the end of its life and won't turn on anymore. If I didn't have proper backup in my SD card, there will be lots of data loss (yes some of important things are in cloud, but there are also stuff that are too big to store in my limited cloud). I'm not even a flashaholics/phoneholics, and really benefit from it. I can only hope if in several years my 3T I'm getting a new phone, my 3T can still be turned on/at least the recovery is accessible. Else, all is lost.

having an SD is important for me. I don't have an Ipod or MP3 reader. So I put all my music on my phone. So SD card is welcome space for me (like right now I have 32Go of music and I can put more if i had more space, and yes a listen to all my music )
And like the ProFragger said. Oneplus 4 will not exist but oneplus5 yes. 4 is not only bad luck. In there language it is the same pronunciation as the word Death or something like that.
They don't want misunderstanding as a death phone or something like that. Plus it is a badluck to put something like that on the name of a product.
The storage on the OnePlus 3T is blazing fast and massively faster than any SD card which is also one of the reasons this phone is so snappy, putting files on a SD card would end up slowing some things down (e.g. loading photos, music library and the such). I admit I was a big advocate of SD cards back when we had phones with 16GB or even 32GB of storage, but in all honesty nowadays with 128GB of storage I don't really miss the SD card slot anymore (and I have just filled 45GB, still plenty of space). As for backups, I just plug my USB-OTG cable and there you go.
In March 2016 I bought my Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910C, after spending 4 years with a Samsung Galaxy S3. (great device by the way).
However, one thing I've been missing in Note 4 is the lack of more internal memory. 32Gb is already running low. I've been buying a new Note for a long time, but with 128GB and SD slot. I think of Note 9 ...
I know that many here still have Note 4, as it is a spectacular device even over the years. Is anyone already thinking about migrating to a device with 128GB or more?
It's only about your expectations of your phone. Internal applications couldn't be installed on External Memory (SD Card or OTG Storage), so if you use a lot of applications, you may change your Note 4 instead any phone which has a larger internal capacity.
I've also had a Note 4 since March 2016. (As same as with you. ) I'm OK with its octa-core processor, 515 PPI Quad-HD Screen, external storage (I'm using it with 512 GB Samsung MicroSD, so its 32 GB Internal storage isn't problem for me.), 16 MP quite sharp Camera etc, it is still great phone around many specs. But, its 3 GB RAM (And because of its software, we could use only approx. half of it.) isn't enough anymore. Without reloading, it couldn't keep anything on its virtual memory. Thus, sometimes it may be slow while using Chrome etc. I'm still OK with it but after a few months, at most after a year, I'm not sure about I will say "I'm still OK with it."
Thanks for the answer.
After I returned to Lollipop 5.1.1, a lot of internal memory was left compared to Android 6.0.1.
The sd card is almost full too and I may need to buy a bigger one. I have a 64GB Sandisk.
I'm doing my best not to spend money on a new cell phone now, but it will be the way.

I use 256GB SD card as adoptable storage to increase internal storage
Lollipop does not allow the external card to be used as internal storage and even so, if the memory card becomes corrupt or fails, you lose everything.
You can't even recover what's in the internal storage.
That was once I read it on a forum
It's possible to enable adoptable storage on the Note4 by flashing adoptable_storage_enabler_ashyx.zip .
https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....patch-adoptable-storage-enabler-t3460478/amp/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/search/thread/3460478?query=Note 4
Theres also possible to partition the external sd card with a rooted Note 4 by use of Link2SD and App2SD. Its been a long time since I did this but I believe one partition is Fat32 and the other ExFat or possibly f2fs. Its best done on Lollipop. You could even make a third partition for 1Gb simulated ram . The simulated ram will reduce the life experience of you external sd and I didn't find much benefit with it anyway. You'll also need an app called Foulder Mount.
Coming from the Galaxy Note 10+, I decided to upgrade to S21 Ultra since it supports s pen. And while I'm a power s pen user, I didn't mind the removal of a few s pen features. What I actually did mind is the fact that they removed the micro sd card slot. I was rocking a 400GB micro sd on my old phone but now I don't know what to do with it. I'm also worried that I might fill up the internal 256GB soon as it had happened to me before, it's why I bought the sd card on my Note 10+ in the first place.
Share what you did with your old micro sd cards and maybe I can find a solution with my small ordeal.
I haven't used an SD card in a phone for 5 years now. I also have not lost a single photo or file due to cloud backups being so efficient.
Easy.. Get USB C MicroSD card reader and plug your old card in. Back up photos when needed..
Send it to Samsung, tell them you want to be reimbursed.
I'm using mine in a dashcam for my car. Over time, the microsd cards can wear out, so it's good to keep feeding the dashcam...
Threw it in my Tab S7+

Moaning about in peoples threads is not going to suddenly make Samsung support SD cards. Got a problem with your phone purchase then go argue with a mirror as that's your fault, plenty of phones that due support them.

Nope, won't be trading a horse for a donkey. It cost me an extra $400 to aquire a device with the amount of storage I need because greedy Sammy pulled the plug on MicroSD with their flagship smartphone. For that amount I'm entitled to moan as much as I like!
Put it in my backup s8+. I'm really hoping they come back with microSD support cause like you, I bought a 400gb card. And it's actually nice to have the option of backing up my pictures to card and uploading them through cloud

You bought an expensive phone that doesn't do what you want it to do. The only thing you're "entitled to moan about" is your bad decision making. Like someone moaning the car they bought does not have 2 wheels because they wanted a motorbike

That's your opinion which means nothing to me. I made the right decision, Samsung is the one who blew chunks lowering internal storage capacity and dropping external storage. Most users feel the same, if you don't agree who cares?
Had a 256GB card almost full on my S8 and it's still sitting around.
Don't really care about photos or videos since I can cloud store whatever, but I like to have my music on the phone to listen on the go through a DAC.
Down to 170GB free at the moment on the 512GB phone, but I could probably clean up around 5GB.
You can never have too much backup storage although hdds are preferable over flash. Good for backing up that lame one drive phone
Meh I'm still running my 10+ still on Pie because both Samsung and Gookill dropped the ball multiple times.
No SD card slot, no sale.
Samsung been playing this game for years, lol it's not the end of the SD card slot for Sammy unless they're hell bent on losing a big chunk of their customer base.
As it is now Android 11 is dud. More fail to come with 12 as well? I might just be running 10+'s for a couple more years.
Whatever, I don't care, fk 'em.
The only upgrade I'm doing is going from a 512gb card to a 1tb V30 card
Maybe buy another 10+ or less likely a 20U.
Sammy dearest; actions have consequences...
Save them for the Note 22 Ultra which will have the SD card slot again.

Heh, of all the good suggestion here this is the one I think I'll agree on the most, albeit a bit ridiculous. However, since I just renewed my contract with my network provider this year, I won't be able to get a new phone until 2023, so maybe Note 23? Lol

I hope this is true. If not, I'll have to move on to Sony phones. My 1tb card is sitting in .y drawer waiting to be used again. In the meantime I'm managing the space on my phone all the time to make sure I don't go over. Makes it inconvenient.

Turn it into a backup drive but always back that up redundantly with at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other. No such thing as too much backup.
Since you lost the data drive capacity with the SD card slot frequent internal memory backups are mandatory. A .5tb flash stick is the easiest then verify the data and back it up to the stand alone hdds. Staggering the hdd backups to the hdds helps to prevent possible malware data lose.
Flash memory by it's self is not a good backup plan... use hdds as the primary backup. Keep the backups off the PC OS hdd.
The best setup is always separate OS and data drives... Samsung

Wrong again, guess you didn't notice XDA changed course and decided to post a link for unlocking US Branded devices after myself and others raised objections. Samsung may do the same as they pay close attention to posts in thus forum. Your opinion won't alter my dissent but you might want to apply for a position in Samsung's PR Department, your defense of their brain dead move will likely gain you a fast promotion.
