If you have a smartphone that includes a microSD card slot then you are likely to ask, ‘what is the highest capacity card that I can use on my phone?’ Unfortunately the answer isn’t as simple as you might think.

Why didn't we switch to ext4 instead of exFAT back then ðŸ¤â€Â
32gb sdcard 4gb files only problem solving
Sometimes, for new sdcard can be format type is FAT32 because old or new phone can read for FAT32 only. For old phone only said up to 32GB and new phone said up to 64/128/256/512GB or more.
For old smartphone user, you can use more than 32GB with format to FAT32. Example for my phone is HUAWEI Y3II, manufacture sdcard up to 32GB. But i put my 128GB sdcard to my phone, and suprising it read it.
So it is no used to buy exFat sd card since android only recognized fat sd
Great video thank-you so much I have learned so much i guess I need a 64 or 128gb sd card to transfer files bigger than 4gb
You just clearly answered several questions I have been asking for 10+ years. I thank you sir it means alot
Expandable storage should not exist in phones!
why not ext?
My128GB sd was fat32. Tried to copy a Linux iso img file over 4GB and would not accept it..
if you buy a card >32K, and format it with FAT, how much of it can you access?
linux kernel 5.7xx above support exfat, but its very difficulty to upgrade kernel android to kernel 5.7xx above
When you insert a fast (class 10 U1) micro SDHC card into an old device (it accepts SDHC) can it complain about the card being too fast ?
Yes it is.. 32gb or 512gb. That was easy
SD UC Ultra-High Capacity – 2021
Can hold a freaking 128 TB
If fat32 has 4gb limit per size how many gb limit for exfat?
I believe a phone should always have memory cards just in case I plus want to keep my phone memory for updates
What do you do if you have a Macintosh which only has exFat ABD "just plain" Fat. (No number)
Exfat
Is the writing speed the most important factor when looking for my first SD card for my smartphone (Nokia 7+) I want it for saving video files, ie from the camera app.
Currently it seems the maximum film(s) I can save is about 30-40 minutes only …. Perhaps made up from 10 short clips.
If I am near home I can easily transfer these to my computer then start filming again, but if I am further away I'll need more memory.
Have you are preferred card for early 2020 please ?
Thanks !
when i tried to format my two MicroSD and old SD card into any other filesystem it was impossible. only exFAT can be.
What does he mean by "Haitch"?
Shouldn't it be "Aitch"? as in HP?
So guys, the basic lifehack is: if you have any card larger than 32GB and you want it work EVERYWHERE – format it as FAT32 within seconds using fat32format tool which I did on my brand new Sandisk Extreme PRO 1TB microsd. And yes, now I can have 1TB of storage EVERYWHERE I want – on my TV, on any phone or any camera or any other device with USB port no matter which year this device is from. You can't format it in FAT32 in Windows just because it is a limit of Windows formatter itself (or because Bill Gates doesn't want you to format your drives in fat32). The only drawback is you can't have a file size larger than 4GB on your drive which is no problem for me.
I learned something new. Thank you Gary!
The Television reads NTFS to. The exFat is not a must have option
Now you can buy 2tb card
genial seria aun mas genial si supiera ingles…..
This old now
update from the future! march 2019 the 1TB sdxc card has come out 😛
Good info, thanks!
Hearing this guy talk about FAT made me rethink my diet.
Phenomenally helpful video!!!!
I used to be ex fat but now I'm fat 36 again ðŸ˜ÂÂ
Finally a guy who's capable of explain such an important issue in an understandable way, congratulations Gary, and looking forward to see the logical lecture: How FAT, FAT32, NTFS and ex-FAT handle the file sizes in the same pedagogical way you made this one.
