Looks like SanDisk is keeping it under wraps - spoke to SanDisk support rep - he denied existance, but the info is getting spread all over the internet and some Taiwanese sites already list it in their inventory, like this one: http://www.sbit.com.tw/en/productsearch.aspx?_searchtext=SDSDQUA-128G-U46A
Making a placeholder thread for this card - please post any news here and of course links, if you see it available. I expect formal announcement from SanDisk in the next couple of months or so
I wonder how much those will go for?
a year ago, when 64GB one, the one in my signature, came out it was $229.99 on SanDisk site...Don't expect this to be any less...after all - it's double in size

Has the 64gig one only been out a year? Seems longer.
128gig would be welcome.

It would be much cheaper and even as effective to simply get a Ribbon adapter (microSD to SD) and buy a standard 128GB SD card with a good write speed.

That is true and you should theoretically even get better performance and data integrity from the card with the larger surface area. However there is the convenience to the micro sd of have not having to worry about possible mods to make it fit inside your case etc

Bingo- I have a ribbon adapter soldered to a Kingston sdcard. Believe me its a pain if I want to remove it to put it in an adapter to go in the PC for whatever reason. It was difficult to solder, it's difficult to fit, and just plain a nuisance overall (but I do love having my 70gb music library and tons of leftover room for videos or whatever). Even I would strongly consider getting a $200 ish 128gb microsdxc.
I don't understand what Sandisk is waiting for. There is obviously a demand for 128GB microsdxc cards. is it possible that Sandisk couldn't manage to fit 128GB on the tiny microsdxc card?(not yet anyway?)
the 128GB SDXC cards are selling quite well... I bought the Sandisk one for only $120 recently.(for use in my camera)
Its a combination of time it takes to develop the technology and making a production pipeline for it. Once its ready they're not gonna make 100 of those cards - they're gonna make 100 million of them.

It's probably pressure from the network carriers. The service providers want people using smaller built-in memory so they use the cloud more. If users rely on the cloud over local storage, there is a much higher likelihood they'll go over their monthly data cap and get charged for overage. It's likely part of the reason Apple is the only major smartphone manufacturer (that I can think of) that hasn't adopted expandable memory via a MicroSD card slot. A 128GB MicroSD card would allow the majority of people to carry their entire collection of music, videos and pics around. Bandwidth demand would drop and carriers would lose overage revenues.

Disagree.
Carriers aren't making the phones. Carriers do want people to rely on added data usage but don't want to over-burden data plans which is exactly what streaming 128 gigs of media would do if it weren't onboard.
My media collection is just over a terabyte still and I have no desire to try to stream that even on my unlimited data plan.
BTW, HTC is also on this 'no expandable storage' kick for some reason. I think they're just being cheap on components to maximize profit.
the delay is most likely they're still testing the card to make sure it works as expected on various devices. These cards are used in other devices besides phones.
I highly double carriers have much input into this. The memory makers are always looking for ways to add more storage and a reasonable price for profit. And more and more, mobile devices are not including ways to expand memory; then the phone can be charge for stupid amount for a tiny bit of extra memory.
Like many, I look forward to having the extra memory. I seem to blow through memory on my phone; yet, not on the tablet.
Cant wait till these are out!
I have way too much music, and to be honest, this would be great for carrying roms and kernels with me, as well as other stuff in case I have to do an emergency reflash. 128GB would be dandy to have.

I'm not super familiar with microSDXC technology, but I have a question -- how do we know a Note II will support a card of this capacity? I thought that the largest card a Note II could support is a 64GB one.

At the time that the phone was released, the largest capacity sdcx micro card available was 64gb. I suppose that theoretically, the phone might be able to see higher cards when they are released.
8 months ago I bought a SanDisk 64GB micro SD for $56. I think it has been out for almost 2 years. When the 128GB comes out it will drop in price quick. Why? Because they need to get them sold before the 256GB comes out. Then the 512GB. Then the 1TB and so on...

What really matters is that this phone supports microSDXC, so it should support any size microSDXC. All of my android phones worked with the 64gb microSDXC even though this is the first one that officially supported it.
There are a lot of conflicting views that this has an sd slot or not.
I've seen about half saying yes and half saying no and don't know what is true? I'm in the UK so not sure if there are different versions?
No, The P20 pro only has 128gb built in storage.
It does support USB storage via a USB-C adapter
It definitely doesn’t. Unfortunately, it seems a lot of retailers and websites are reporting it does. That’s a mistake. 100% mistake.
To back up what ricjuh and gavinfabl have said above, here's a copy of my chat transcript on this issue with Huawei online support:
3:21:25 PM - deebo007 said : Hi Thea, I have a question about the new P20 pro
3:21:44 PM - deebo007 said : Does it have a microSD card slot to expand the memory?
3:22:12 PM - deebo007 said : Many websites say that it does, but your website does not mention it.
3:22:47 PM - Thea said : One moment to check!
3:22:51 PM - deebo007 said : Thanks
3:24:10 PM - Thea said : Thank you for waiting, the P20 Pro does not support a microSD to expand the memory.
3:24:50 PM - deebo007 said : OK, thanks very much. that's a real shame as I was looking to get one. This has unfortunately ruled this option out for me.
3:25:12 PM - Thea said : Ah, very sorry to hear. I can understand why a microSD would be important.
3:27:46 PM - deebo007 said : OK, thanks Thea, please pass on my comment to your design team, this is a major issue when your new P20 Pro does not support it but your Honor View 10 does, seems to be a very strange decision.
3:29:07 PM - Thea said : I agree with you! I will pass this on to my design team in regards to this.
3:29:28 PM - deebo007 said : Thanks. Have a good day.
As stated, 100% it does not. The SIM tray is equal to that of the Mate 10 Pro (they're essentially the same hardware platform - I'm sure the SIM slot lines up perfectly) and has two nano slots in it - nothing more.

this is a very bad news, it pushes to heavy users to search another options, like S9+ plus, with some versions with 256GB internal memory + microsdxc slot up 400GB.
very wrong move of huawei, especially with a 3- camera lens, RAW and HDR format, 4K video and Slow-Mo option
I can not Inderstand... 40 Megapixel Pictures With a karge size per Picture but No way for SD....

I guess it depends if you feel like you have to keep everything stored on your phone forever. I backup and remove things as I think phones perform better without bloat and 128GB of storage feels huge to me! Last phone I had with 128GB storage (Nokia 8) I didn't even bother putting an SD in. You can easily plug USB C card readers into modern phones for backup purposes if you don't want to use Google Photos (or the cloud generally).

Pretty pointless having a phone then unless just used the camera!
Very witty
ok ok ok... I have a question... what the hell are they referring to when they say that the Huawei P20 Pro has two nano slots that could be used for expansion?? are they saying that these nano slots are accessable for expansion?? this is so confusing for me and quite possibly for others as well.. I am pretty sure that this is where people are getting confused and saying that the P20 Pro is SD expandable. Someone really needs to do some rewording of the Huawei P20 Pro Description and indicate that its got no Expansion slots.. only reason why I got it was to have the 4 camera feature which the pro camera feature on it has a very high pixel quality to it and is rated highest over all other Cell Phones.

Trying to choose what MicroSD card to get for my Note 9
First is
Samsung Evo Plus 256gb
Link:- https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B06XFS5657/ref=cm_cr_othr_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1
Second is
SanDisk Extreme Plus 128gb
Link:-
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07FCMRBTM/ref=psdcmw_1345826031_t3_B07FCMKK5X?th=1&psc=1
Right away you'll notice one is 128gb & the other is 256gb this is because the storage isn't too important, 128 is enough, 256 is the same price..
However the SanDisk one is A2 certified & V30 certified which the Samsung one is not, also the SanDisk has a 170mb/s read Vs the Samsung's 100mb/s read
Will the A2 & V30 certification even make a difference on a Note 9?
Appreciate any help or opinions? Thanks

The impact between the Samsung SD & Sandisk is not so Big I guess. Anyway i have a pro SD card from Samsung in my Note 9 & what to Say? Works perfect.. but if you get more space for same price..i would recommend the Samsung anyway..
That depends on what you're going to store on the SD card. If it's music or data that's doesn't need lightning access, go for 256GB. You're getting 2x storage with same price. 100 mb/s read is not less either.
The premium cards with names like Extreme or Pro advertising more than a hundred MB/s speeds are useful for cases like 4K video recording or RAW (or burst shot) photography.
I assume your Note9 still has plenty of storage to do these stuff. You can always record or shoot photos on internal storage and can anytime move the older ones to SD card if you get low on storage.
As I have said, please do share the reason you're thinking about getting 100+ GB SD card.

Mainly high quality photo's, high quality videos, high quality music often .flac instead of .mp3 & possibly some movies..
You're correct assuming that my Note 9 has plenty of storage left I've only used 29gb out of 128gb, however I prefer to keep music, photos & videos on a removable storage
The reason I'm thinking about getting 100gb+ is because I already have 3 MicroSD cards full at this moment in time, they're 32, 32, & 16 so that is already 80gb in total, so a 64gb MicroSD wouldn't be much use, the next one up is 128gb...
I want to move all the contents of the 3 MicroSD cards & move them on to the 1, easy to manage my files that way
I often backup the MicroSD contents on to my PC twice a month, I'd want that to be fast as possible
It's my understanding that the V30 certification is for filming & saving 4K video directly on to the MicroSD right?, That wouldn't be too important as I'd film it on to my device first then move it later on..
However the A2 certification is regarding read speed right? Which is 170mb/s on the SanDisk compared to 100mb/s on the Samsung, how noticeable is the extra 70mb/s and it what circumstances?
Yes, V30 means the card can sustain continuous video recording at 30 MB/s. You said you're going to record on internal storage itself (and you should be) so that shouldn't matter much to you.
That enhanced write and read speed (with some caching and efficient performance) with A2 can give you higher speeds while backing up the data to your PC but it's just 1.7x with 0.5x storage (not mentioning other bottlenecks for maximum speed). I consider the 256GB to be having far more VFM. Your backup frequency will also get halved with double storage, no?
You can never go wrong with either of these. Premium memory cards like V30 are meant for professional video recorders and camera. Playing even 4K videos requires around 50 mbps and FLAC are under 1 mbps.
I think you should get double the memory for same the price!

Yes I'd record on internal so V30 can be forgotten about pretty much
Could I also expect bottlenecking on the Samsung 256gb?, & yes my backup frequency would probably be reduced to once a month with the increased space
Yeah the V30 certification would definitely make a difference to me if I was using a professional camera etc. But as it's my Note 9 & I'd be saving to internal, I don't necessarily need it
I'll probably end up going with the Samsung 256gb thank you very much for your help!

Yes, by bottleneck I mean the capabilities of Memory Controller and Card Readers.
Upon reading over the internet, I have found most SD cards averaging Read/Write below 70 MB/s. Read one benchmarking here for Samsung EVO+ 256GB UHS-1 microSDXC U3 that advertises speeds over 90 MB/s.
The bottleneck here is the card reader on Note9 as well as the hardware limits.
Even on a PC, the card interface or the adapter (in case you use that) could be bottlenecks.
I think you're going the right way with double the memory with same the price. There's diminishing returns on higher performance with increasing price.

Both are good brands. However if you are probably gonna get the same data transfer speeds on your device as the Note 9 doesn't have a very fast microSDcard writter in it.

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+

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

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

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.
Hey Guys,
I got the S8 Wifi 5G with 256GB Space.
Bought it so i can download many offline movies for traveling.
But now i figured out that Just the System takes OVER 136GB OF SPACE !
Is it right even debloating will not clean up this space ?
As the apps are just "deactivated"
am i guessing right we need to wait for a custom rom to get a clean system ?
thx Curtis

I would but my experiences with microsd cards are that they tend to have a high failure rate... I've had usb sticks last longer than some microsd. Both microsd in my s20fe and tab s6 lite both experienced failures in under 2 months using 64GB sandisk microsd from walmart. These things have very short lifespans and failure rates, would not recommend it for any meaningful long term use.
