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!!

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...
Does anyone know if the MI5 has a Hybrid Slot so you can insert 2 nano sims AND one microsd? The second nano sim chip is then on the back of the microsd card, as e.g. with the S7 having a hybrid alot.
Thinking about buying a 32gb version of the MI5 and hoping for storage extension through this.
Nope, pure sim slot
Damn... so why do other Xiaomi's have a hybrid one...

My dear, flagship of xiaomi (mi3, mi4, mi5, mi5s, mi 6 min note, mi note 2, mi mix) never has sd card slot.
Seems like a perfect partner for the Note 8
http://phandroid.com/2017/08/31/sandisk-400gb-microsd-card
ordered.
The specs for the Note 8 says it's able to take a microSD card up to 256GB. Would a 400GB card even be compatible? Are there any hardware limitations that restrict the maximum size of the external storage to 256GB or will the Note 8 take as much storage as you can shove in it?
My Note 3 was supposed to only handle 64 but it reads my 256 with no problems. If anything you can use externally through the usb c with a card reader...there are some low profile ones on Amazon.
It'll take it—I just ordered the card.
Ever since Note 2 I've been using a 512GB SD card—via a MicroSD—SD adapter, no problems…

How do you mean, standard SD of 512 through usb port or modded with an adapter in the MicroSD slot
Like this one:

Like this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2987826
That is similar to the adapter I linked...I think the Note 8 will handle the 400GB...if it reads 256 natively and can read drives over 1TB via USB, why not right.

Yep, I would bet my paycheck that it will work with no problem. The manufacturers are always conservative with this and i believe primarily because they do not have the newer cards to test extensively while they are developing a new phone.
When Samsung spec'ed this phone the 400gb sd card was not out in the wild yet so i can understand why..plus since Samsung make their own memory and they don't yet have a 400gb microsd card, why promote a card that you don't yet have? :good:
Gnarly card. Considering it. Though Kinda wanna wait for a price drop.
I've used a 2 tb hd with otg on my note 4...
Sent from my SM-N920G using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Get to the Choppa!!!! 400GB
Tested the card today. took 6 ish hours from start to finish. the program wrote to all sectors,. filling the card up then verified all sectors could be read.
Photos show the capacity when it was formatted on the pc and when formatted in the note8.
bought it direct from Amazon. it was sold and shipped by them, which is the only way I would go when purchasing an sd card of any size off amazon.
Awesome

Why would you write the whole card to test it? You just slowed it down.
Sent from my LGV20 using yo Mama's unlocked bootloader.
Happy to explain
Appreciate your enthusiasm in why i do things.
I did that to test each sector to make sure the card was legit.
The card has since been reformatted in the phone and is working normally
I think the price around $300 is not fair, 100-150 $ is ok
Agree!
I think the price of the note 8 is outrageous! And this is my first ever Sammy device, but one has to pay to play as the tired cliche goes... :crying:
Love how these cards are actually 512gb, but they reserve 112gb for bad sectors etc

actually, real capacity of this card is 367 GB only
I'm planning on to buy a 64GB SDcard, I'm currently in India. I need the best read/write support. I have a 250 mbps WiFi connection. I just don't want my SDcard to bottleneck the download speed. I just don't know about these SDcards and stuff. Please help me.
sandisk extreme or extreme pro... here
(obiouvsly you'll have to source a local deal)
if not available, you want to be looking for A2, U3 v30 cards
Sandisk or Samsung, I use them both and haven't had any problem. UHS 1 is the minimum speed if for modern phones.

I read an article saying that a2 sd cards is not yet supported in Snapdragon 845. If that is the case then it's better to use an A1 sd card to save money.
I don't trust SanDisk anymore after years of experience on many devices, nor other brands frankly, Kingston is the worst.. Only use Samsung Evo cards now. Also many fakes for all brands, even Samsung on Amazon.
I would also suggest Samsung evo
Samsung works ok in pocoloco
Hello guys, please tell which of this two versions you've got and why.
Does it mather to pay about +-50 more to get the 128GB version instead of 64GB, if just the storage size changes?

Well sadly no expandable storage which sucks, so get 128gb if you can. Personally I have 64gb because thats the only version available at Amazon.
I depends on your usage, how much space do you use on your current phone?
I had less than 20gb left on my 64gb Mi A2, and now, i have 73 gb left on my 128gb Mi 9, if i had the 64gb version, i would have only 9gb left. You also need to think about your space for 2 years from now, and also for the resell value.
I bought the 128gb and I don't know why. 64GB would be enough.
Buying the 64GB here. Even with Netflix downloads, a few GB games and tons of photos., I’m hoovering at 20 GB free space after a year and a half. Google Photos saves a lot of space and unlimeted cloud storage in a decent enough quality.

Running 32GB internal + 64GB external, but most is on external SD btw. I have some OTG C to use too.
128g here! the way i look at it rather have too much than not enough haha
I have 6GB/128GB because the Mi 9 has no external storage
I have the Mi 9 because Belsimpel (dutch shop) only has the 128GB version in blue.
I wanted the 128gb version but it was out of my budget (was way overpriced too). So i went with the 64gb and to be honest i'm gonna miss my 128gb i had with my redmi note 4 as external storage ... but oh well at least i can sell it and get some money back out of it. c:
I have 6/64 and for me it is ok.
I don't need many space in mobile phone, just some gb for mp3 to listen in can via bluetooth.
If better 64 o 128 gb depend of your own use of mobile phone.
bought the 128gb version myself as the price i got on it was quite cheap but 64 one would have been just fine too (as i had a 32gb s7 edge previously with 32gb sdcard)
256GB, the more the merrier
Do note that the storage speed differs quite a bit between the two versions. The 128GB one has faster sequential reads (almost 800MB/s, compared to 620-690 the 64GB one gets) while the 64GB one has almost twice as fast seq write speeds (about 390MB/s compared to 180-ish the 128GB one gets). The other parameters are usually in line, they also tend to differ between ROM versions on the global dev I've been running until now.
My current phone is the LG V10 so I went with the 8/128. I don't like buying phones so I wanted to make sure this one lasts as long as possible.
Noticed that no-one is mentioning how much space you do actually get after turning the phone for the first time. I have see somewhere that 128g version has 117g free. Is this true?

Yup. I just roughly calculated it and I got 116,88gb. Don't remember the exact value.
Try get 128. But only if you use your camera often (specially video). I bought 64gb and now only my gallery take 15GB. 4min video from some event takes 1, 2GB. So let's think before.
I got the 64gb because the 128gb was too expensive when I ordered it. I use Google Photos so no storage space used for photos on my phone and it's free. Thanks whoever posted the RAM speed differences. I was unaware. I wonder if the 256gb has faster speeds?
Just before I purchased the phone, I changed my mind and went for 64gb version.
My previous phone had 64gb storage and 64gb SD card, and I was using around 100gb of the total.
On the way to the shop I had a little cleaning, and checked the files on my SD card and it turned out almost all is useless and I just keep it on my phone (I had 2 year old TWRP backups, many custom ROMs and mods that I don't need and use etc)
Same apps and similar amount of downloads (on Netflix, Spotify, Photos etc) and I have 30gb free on my 64gb Mi 9. So, I don't think 128gb is necessary for a regular user.
Now, I can use the 50 euros I saved, in buying a 20W wireless charger and a power-bank.
