Not true at all, it can and will read the 128gb microsd. But it can also read up to 2 TB hdd via otg cable. I also have a microsd to Sdcard tf cable that reads my 256gb sdcard.
Check out amazon for a huge discount on that 128gb microsd @119.99!!

On my note 1, when the 64Gb sd cards were just launched, Samsung said too that only 32Gb ones works on this device.
My 64Gb sdcard always worked fine...

Technically, due to xc specifications, we should be able to use an sd card up to 2 TB... If they made them that big...

You were just misinformed companies want you to think there's a limit but when your on a site like xda there's no fooling us lol, even though at that time 64 gb microsd was the biggest external microsd option there were ways to get around the limit via regular sdcards. I have a 256gb sdcard I use on my note 3 from a tf cable that uses the microsd card slot on the note 3 so I can insert my sdcard and store massive amounts of data on it. I'm planning on buying the 128gb microsd also tho just to support sandisk and Thank them for finally making this happen, we're sure to see 128gb internal phones in the near future now.

C'mon, this is very simple, until couple days ago the largest micro sd card was 64GB and that's how far they could test it and that's what they wrote in the specs. If the 128GB card follows the specs, it has to work, but I do remember in the past some cards didn't work with all devices and I have no idea why, something about particular controller being not compatible, so it would be foolish for Samsung to post specifications which can't be tested. I had same thing with my old camera, specs listed 32 GB max, largest size at the time of release but it worked with 64GB fine when those came out. So when do we get 256GB, 128GB seems so yesterday.

Almost certainly it will work. However the manufacturer suggested price (200$) is just "marketing" similar to what is routinely done on overpriced jewelry, the initial launch price seems to be closer to 120$ and I would be quite surprised if the price will not get towards 70-80 US$ once the competition really heats-up.

Amazon has it for $119 but it is out of stock.
No idea when they will actually have it.

It's been over 1 year so it's probably time to confirm that the SanDisk 128GB Ultra Micro SDXC Class 10 UHS-1 card works flawlessly on a Samsung Note 3 SM-N900T (running either KItKat or Lollipop). For best performance it doesn't hurt to adjust the read-ahead cache higher than the default 128K (I use 1024K).
Beware of the many "fakes" found online. As of this writing, anything under $50 is probably not a genuine 128GB card, but you can find legitimate ones for as little as $65 if you search around.

I bought that one and a USB 3.0 microsdxc card reader that supports UHS-1 speeds. While, the s4 will supposedly work with their own card, you won't get the higher read/write speeds on the s4, but you will on your pc.
Sort of a pain to take the card out and stick it in the usb 3 card reader, but for 64gb and you're trying to transfer large video files - may be easier, I suppose
I am wanting to buy a 64gb memory card and have looked at san disk however I have had one which corrupted on my note 2 so am concerned.
Has anyone used the 646gb sandisk class 10 with the new s4 ??

Same here, I had 2 Sandisk SD cards 32GB and both of them got corrupted on MY S3, I don't know is was a bad production or not but the truth is that is very disappointing.
Some people say that rooting phones corrupts the SD card forever, Dunno is its true, Any way I think i will give it a shot on sandisk again for my new S4.
Peace :good:

[Q] Which Note 3 compatible 64GB Micro SD Card to get?

I've read mixed results with the overall Samsung Galaxy series of phones and Sandisk micro sd cards.
I was thinking of getting this 64GB Class 10 card:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/SanDisk-64GB-microSD-Class-10-Ultra-Card/23350707
But didn't know what/if any the current people already with Note 3s are using. Some people say to stick with the Samsung 64GB version as there are issues with some phones only being able to read exFat.
I just wanted to make sure that the card I buy actually works with the Note 3 when it arrives and not have to deal with returns and buying multiple makes/manufacturers of cards until I find a working one that lets me use all 64GB.
Thanks!

From what I read 64GB is the max that the Note 3 can handle at the moment, and having 96GB of data storage capability is pretty damn snazzy to me :victory:

Maaan, you're getting the world's most fastest advanced phone that has not 1, 2, 3 but 4 world firsts on it (4K recording, 3GB ram, MicroUSB 3.0, 24bit audio), the bleeding edge of technology, and you put a ultra 64gb class 10 card in there? forget about it...step up to the big boys, you have to get this one...
(won't let me link, i removed it, but google "world's fastest microsd" and it's a sandisk card)
Its the Sandisk Extreme 64GB MicroSD card...it's the world's fastest sd card, it's stats are 80MB read, 50MB write, but actual tests have shown 96MB read,.and 61MB write, which destroys any other class 10 sd card...class 10 is 10MBps, this card is hitting 5 to 9 times that depending on read/write
Look at this review
(I cant believe they wont let me link, its by legit reviews, just google it)
It's perfect for 4K recording, USB 3.0 transfers, etc..
With those read speads you won't see the lag the ultra 64gb card have when you open gallery, and i know because i had one in my note 2 and it took a bit for it to load all my pics, bet it doesn't with this behemoth...Im selling my ultra and pony up the difference for the $99 extreme
The fastest microsd card in the world for the fastest phone in the world...perfect match...
I would say NO to sandisk cards. Had a 64 gb class 10 ultra high speed in my note 2 and got all sorts of crashes.
Put it in my laptop and yepee..lost all files...

That is the Ultra, which Sandisk as already acknowledged there was an issue and was working with customers for exchanges, they do have a lifetime warranty, this is a different microsd card, probably different parts altogether due to it's speed

from samsung or sandisk?
I had been a Sandisk loyal user until my S4 which caused hiccups, lags, mysterious file disappearance, random reboots, unable to transfer large files and many more.....
I then switched to Transcend MicroSD on my S4 and all the above problems disappeared. I've been using an old 8GB Sandisk on my Note 3 and so far haven't experienced any problems yet. I am awaiting for the 128GB Microdisk SDHC coming out soon and really make use of that 1080p screen.

[Q] (Q) Best micro sd card for note 3?

Questions like these will just invoke peoples opinions and everybody has one. Nobody will be able to tell you what is "best". They all work good and the same. Samsung make cards just fine. So does PNY, Lexar, Kingston,Transcend,etc. Me personally, I stay with the major brands. You should be fine if you do so.Sounds like you just might have a bad card.Take it back and exchange it for something else.

I am a fan of Sandisk cards. Used a 64GB micro in this phone and then moved onto a PNY card which is what currently is in my Note now. There is another thread somewhere in here, maybe Accessories, that has a great deal on MicroSD cards from Best Buy and Amazon. I would start to look this week at getting a card cause you probably can get one for a steal being that this is Black Thursday/Friday.

Basically, I'm trying to decide between a Samsung 64gb Pro sdxc class 10 or a Sandisk Extreme sdxc class 10, which is like $25 more. Am I wasting my money going the more expensive route? Will my phone even show the difference?
I was having problems with my 16 and 32G samsung cards in my note 2, when i got my note 3 i went with a 64G sandisk (had an amazon gift card to use up) and have nothing but good things to say. I tried my 32G samsung in the note 3 as well and it was hit or miss kinda like your describing
It's hit or miss. My 32 gb sandisk class 10 just stopped working last night, lost everything on the card. Im probably going with a samsung card next. There are many reports of samsung devices ruining memory cards, especially sandisk brand.

I went ahead and bought the SanDisk extreme. Just had it for a couple hours and my phone seems to be running hot. I'll keep you guys updated.
I have a Sandisk 64gb card. It did crap out on me but they replaced it and so far so good. I've never had a problem with Micro Center cards but as of right now the biggest they have is 32gb. That's my backup in case my 64gb Sandisk craps out again.

Maximum Capacity SD Card for Note 3

Can anyone confirm what is the maximum capacity SD card that can use with Note 3, planing to upgrade my 64Gb to higher capacity.
64gb is the reported max however i have heard that some have used 128gb card with success... not sure on anything else though (like 256gb card)
is there any links or sharing from users to confirm this ?
I tested a 128 GB in a store here and it mounted, but if I'm able to go beyond 64 GB of storage with that card I don't know, if not I suppose I could divide it into two 64 GB cards.

You say there was a 128GB microSD card and you tested with that in your Note3? What card/brand was that microSD?

linitx.com/product/sdmicro-to-sd-card-adapter/11922
Here is an adaptor to fit a standard sd card. You can theoretically go up to 2Tb but I have a 128gb card working in my Note 3 and older SG note 10.1...
SDXC spec is up to 2TB and all modern phones should be able to handle that no problem. The reason they advertise 64GB is that is the maximum size actually available in microSD format at release, but when larger ones come around or you use a full size SD with adapter as long as it is SDXC it will work. My guess would also be that theoretically a new SD protocol could be added at the kernel level but this phone won't be receiving that update as SDXC has many years left to go until we reach 2TB SD cards.

The Note 3 can recognize up to 2TB. All the new storage technology has so far been backward compatible, so the since released 128, 200 & 264GB SD cards should work fine. 2013+SD Drivers will all be backward compatible till 2TB.
64gb, anything else may work, for awhile but then it will start showing that the files on it are gone. If you use a card bigger than 64gb don't save anything to it that you use or want to save. Shame because the note 3 is definitely one of Samsung better phones!
I learned the hard way, with 2 sdcards from 2 different manufacturers, 64gb sdcard, maximum.

Either something wrong with your phone, rom or sd card.....
I use 128gb sd cards in all of my phones with no problems, and they are pretty much full too. Everything works and no problems.
Have backups of roms, APK's I don't wish to hunt for again (they update after install so no problem running old APK files), music and video files. Pictures, both from camera and stuff I've got elsewhere, text files, both for work and play. All works fine.
I even dabbled with a 200gb Sandisk but put that in another newer device...

what kind of sd card do you use exactly.
Usually Samsung Evo, but I also have a Toshiba and some Sandisk as well... I use all these cards in my Samsung phones.
Tried them all in my Note 3, 4, Edge and 8... All working... As well as the 200gb Sandisk cards too...

256GB Micro SD for Note 3

I wish to puchase a 128GB micro SD or even a 256GB micro SD for my Note 3, so I can load it with several movies and other stuff.
Does anybody knows if Note 3 support such big storage? Any issues? Has someone already tried to use 128GB Micro SD card?
Thank you

I forgot...the 128GB is from Sandisk
sorry...my mistake. It is a Samsung 128GN micro SD card

I wish to puchase a 128GB micro SD or even a 256GB micro SD for my Note 3, so I can load it with several movies and other stuff.
Does anybody knows if Note 3 support such big storage? Any issues? Has someone already tried to use 128GB Micro SD card?
Thank you
Saulo

Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472486. Myself haven't go through in details but i believe 128GB is possible
128 is the biggest available (on amazon, but deeply backordered - I bought mine like a month ago, and still no sign of shipping). The manufacturers appear to be supply constrained.
128GB of flash just barely fits into a microSD package with top-of-the-line process technology. That's the biggest we're going to see until another round of process shrinks (and this is why it's taken until now to bring out a 128gb microsD card).
However you can mod your phone with an sd card to micro sd card adaptor and use a 256gb up to 2 terabyte card - theoretically... People do use 256gb sd cards though. This is proven to work...

So does NOTE 3 fully support 128GB? I mean, if you insert a 128GB will Note 3 see it as 128GB or just 64GB? Or will it sense it as two separate 64GB partitions?
I ask because I see in the specs: "it can be expanded with a up to 64GB external memory"...

Thats because 64gb was all that was available when Note 3 was launched.... The S3 specs only say up to 32gb but I used a 64gb sd card in that as well as the Note 1....
This is the manufacturer covering their A$$ so if for some reason someone did have a problem they point to the specs sheet and say it wasn't covered...
Rest assured it does NOT partition the sd card... I have a 128gb sd card - using the sd card to micro sd card adaptor - on my Note 10.1 2014 ed with no problems... Hell, I use a 128gb sd card on my Note 10.1 1st edition...
Still running out of space though.....:laugh:
I get my adaptors from here, though I have seen cheaper these are just the right size - http://linitx.com/product/sdmicro-to-sd-card-adapter/11922
I have a 64gb flash card its the fastest class ect. and it runs PAINFULLY SLOW! it takes forever to even copy stuff onto it from USB3. its much slower then the note 2 for some reason. i had it tested and its not faulty. its just a PAIN IN ASS. so only use it if you plan to keep it on there a long time. now I just delete/copy the internal memory as its much faster then move all stuff overnight while its on charge to External

Just to throw a herring in here... not sure if stock supports it but using ntfs on my 64GB with CarbonRom (aosp based)... better read/write speeds but more importantly, far more stable

Don't belive stock supports ntfs. Mine had been rock solid and super fast since day one.

Hello,
I purchased one from Amazon for my Note 3. It works fine. Video and audio in flac format are good and no lag.

If you have a 256gb micro sd card you just plug in where the micro sd card goes, I was referencing an adaptor that has a micro sd plug and you can insert a normal size sd card. If you have a 512gb sd card this would also work...
Hello, I purchased a 200 Gb Lexar microsd.
I was so happy of its capacity, but now I have a file system issue. It made it just readable, so no way to modify it neither format it...
Since my data stand there I cannot give it back in order to get a replacement or refund...so I think no more Lexar at all...
