Is anyone holding out for the 64 GB version?

One thing that I wish Samsung would copy Apple is ACTUALLY have a real 64 GB version. Announce to everyone during the event that there will be a 64 gb version then never actually sell it is just wrong. So is anyone hopeful and still holding out for it?

64GB is mythological. I don't think I've ever seen a 64GB Samsung phone..not even on youtube.

It'll probably be the international version, like it was with the Note II (and it was only available on the Asian market).

I could see them doing a mid model year update variant with 64 gb for major carriers. purely speculating.

I wouldn't mind throwing a 128GB card in there. Not that I really need it but why not!

Agreed. Better to have to much then not enough. If they were cheap I would get one try it to see what happens.

The standard supports cards larger than 64GB. Even 64GB ones are relatively recent.
I think the limit is technical. Look at the underside of a 64GB MicroSD card - The black rectangle is the chip; and it takes up almost the whole area. It's around 50mm^2, which is around the die size of the most advanced 32GB flash memory - so they've got 2 of those stacked up, and the whole thing still barely fits.
They need another process shrink to get 128GB of flash into a MicroSD card form factor...

I too wish I could have had the choice to purchase a 64GB Note 3.
I have a 64GB card in mine and I will purchase a 128GB card when they become available.
The note 3 should support any size card that is SDxc compatible.
They introduced the SDxc over 2 years ago at CES and the 64GB card is the biggest I've seen thus far, but the SDxc format is theoretically capable of supporting up to 2TB cards. It will come eventually but I'm sure it will be a few years before we see something close to 1TB.

I am waiting for the 64GB version, will be out next September renamed teh Note 4 and only available in Asian markets.

It's not Samsung's fault...blame your carriers. The carriers aren't interested in carrying multiple versions of the same phone other than maybe a different color. The only phone that gets away with it is the iPhone because their followers will buy anything.

Space you always get "screwed" on due to manufacturers using 1000mb=1gb instead of the ACTUAL measurement of 1024kb=1mb or 1024mb=1gb
But the class is something I agree with. class 4 is a bit slow. the other thing you have to look out for is if the class seems to be awesome for a small price, youre probably getting a class 2 instead of the higherclass advertised. been burned by this one often sadly. I no longer buy SD cards on amazon that arent US based lol.

Meant to be very fast but expensive.

With a Class 4 card, you will not be able to take Zoe's. The device will tell you the card is too slow. Saving pics and videos will also be slow, and you might get stuttering playing saved video, although music should be fine. Get a class 10 if you can afford it.

Unfortunately, eBay is awash with counterfeit SD cards. No name brands doctored to look like well known brands, and higher capacities (why the above reply mentioned getting "screwed" on the capacity). Folks on XDA have literally gotten SD cards where they peeled off the label (which said major brand, 64 GB, etc.) and found a label for a no-name 16 GB card underneath.
eBay is a great place to get deals, for sure. But unless you have a definitive reason to believe the seller and the product is legit, you really have no way of knowing if you are going to get counterfeit trash.
For this reason, I prefer to stick with reputable sellers like Newegg for certain things like SD cards.

Sandisk Ultra 64gb micro sd write speeds just tanked.

So I was loading my SD card up with music. About half way through the transfer stopped. At that time I was roughly 50% through the transfer . Up until that point I was getting write speeds of between 6mb-11mb/s . Then half way through the transfer seemed to stall out . After a min or two it resumed. After it resumed I was getting between 600-999KiB/s
Any idea what could cause this ?

Did you format the SD card in your pc, phone, or just pop it in and go?
From Dante's Inferno via XDA Premium HD

Given that you are having problems I would format it in a computer using exFAT format with quick format turned off so that the card is fully tested. There could be issues with the card itself and this would help identify that.

And then order the Samsung card...

Back up all our info . card is gonna take a **** soon.
BAD ASS NOTE 4

Backup whatever you have on that SanDisk and get a Samsung or another dependable brand. I've learned my lesson on 3 SanDisk cards that clunked on me, causing to me to lose unrecoverable data each time. I got a Samsung Evo.

Where did you get it from and how much did you pay? It could be a fake.

I'm using a SanDisk 64gb extreme ultra which to my mind is the only suitable card for the note 4. I'm getting write speeds of 44mb on average.

^^ What he said.. Stick with the Samsung card, you paid a boatload for a flagship phone, don't save a buck on the SD card.

I'm using a Samsung 64gb UHS-1 card, works great. The Sandisk UHS-3 64gb card is like $40 on Amazon right now. I think that's a heck of a deal. I just want to upgrade to a 128gb not to another 64gb.

Quick Question: Where to Buy Note 4 GB GB Model for T-Mobile...???

So my freind is bummed she cannot unlock her bootloader and root/rom her At&T Note 4. She is so bummed she wants me to buy her a Note 4 T-Mobile and root/rom it for her and she will switch to T-Mobile once I do so.
That being said I know they sell a 64GB Model instead of the 32GB but T-Mobile will have none of it. They say that's not an option and they only sell the 32GB. Pfffffff. I know it's out there but a quick search on eBay, Amazon even Craigs finds nothing
Anyone have any ideas where I can get one?? Last year I saw someone with it, using it, and it was custom themed with a rom and root on t-mobile. He got one and said they are hard to come by but are out there.
HELP! Where can I get her one?

Well, like me she has had android a lot and has a few hundred apps - maybe not as many as me but a lot still. The issue is on 32gb, it fills up with apps then u gotta one by one move to sd move to sd and its a PAIN IN THE ASS
If she has 64gb internal would not be an issue. She kinda does need it and yes I plan to put 128 external sd card

I'm not sure if you going to find a 64 version.... It's very rare or probably a limited edition....SD card slot was the main reason why the device came with 32GB internal storage! Good luck

Ummmm why would I post something if I am not serious unless I put jkjk I am definitely not kidding.
32 GB does not hold all the apps that will install, so most must be moved to SD card (external SD) and that is a one by one process. Unless you know of a batch move or move all to SD where I can do them all with a few clicks instead of one by one then I really need the 64GB model
Samsung says they make it - chatted, emailed and called them but they say they do not have a dealer list of who sells them - but they have been making them a while now
so someone has to carry the 64GB model???
WHO? I have scoured the internet and found sh*t

64gb note 4 is a myth in USA, maybe somewhere overseas they make the 64gb international version but even that seems rare.

Note 5 64GB is available for TMO

Have you called T-Mobile, or only asked in store? If it exists it probably was never available in store.

Trust me, the 32GB is enough. I have about 250 apps on my Note 5 and I am barely hitting 10GB of app storage usage. Also have a Note 4 with 32GB internal storage plus a 128GB microSD card in it and barely used the card. If you are into taking 4k video or wanting to put your movies on your phone, that's where more internal storage comes in handy. If not, then 32GB should be more than enough to do the job. As far as a 64GB note 4, Samsung only made a 32GB note 4, the only reason why they made a 64GB note 5 is to replace not having an microSD slot in it.

SanDisk 400gb MicroSD

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.

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.

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:
