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.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Purple Ferret:
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.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Asquared:
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.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apallohadas:
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.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xCAVEMANx:
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...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] eraursls1984:
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.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Purple Ferret:
If the Note Supported SDXC it will support a 128gb Card.

SDXC has a theoretical maximum of 2TB. Provided that the Hardware was engineered with this in mind, and provided the Software or firmware understands exFAT, there would be no reason why it wouldn't.

In addition, Fat32 can support large volumes such as 128GB, so Custom Firmware and Recovery will be set regarding this.

Longer than a year, they came out like September 2011:

Nice to see good quality information! Personally I'm getting a little tired of having to explain to people that Fat32 is not limited to small volumes any longer (I have a Fat32 formatted 2TB drive at home for example). I expect basically everything will support the 128GB card when formatted Fat32, just as everything has supported the 64GB cards that way. Note 2/S3/S4 etc that can do exFat won't require reformatting and will work with these regardless of what the phone manufacturer says is the maximum capacity. I will buy a 128GB card as soon as humanly possible regardless of price, so those awaiting actual user confirmation will have it shortly after release.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SeoTFSI:
128gb wow!

between some time the price will be accessible for all.. like the 64gb, and before the 32gb and before the 16..

i remember when payd a 4gb micro sd 80€ LoL

but 128 it's very large memory.. not even on my 5DMkII i use 128Gb XD
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jobiza:
I remember 64mb and 128mb cards for Sony Ericsson S700i, but I can't remember card model. Just 9 years ago and they were between 40€ to 100€. >_>
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SeoTFSI:
unbelievable :laugh:

the time fly!

128gb is good for mkv.. other i don't know how can fill it...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jobiza:
Exactly! :) it's still good to have these 128gb cards and possibly in 2 years 512gb cards, then 64gb cards will be cheap. :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
They already have a 512GB USB And a 1TB.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jobiza:
Mostly I meant micro SD cards, but thanks for sharing this information. :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
No I know you were talking about Micro SDs. I figure I just say that they have you know higher storage on USB as well
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Slade8525:
I had the AT&T Sony S710a; it came with a 32MB card with the stupid protected content crap, sold it. i STILL have Memory Stick Pro Duo adapter on my shelf, with 256MB in it, right next to my 512MB CF card lol. I had put mp3 music and set em as ringtones (long before anyone else had em) and it had an incredible screen, features, the swivel thing was awesome, and it was my first taste of browsing on a phone. I remember the first time i showed my GF that i could play music from my phone to my car (had a pioneer AVIC D-3 that played DVD's and all that) and she was blown away lol.

LOVED that phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jobiza:
I couldn't agree with you more, it was a very nice phone. :) But now looking at it, it was ridiculously thick. :D I loved the program were you were able to make ringtones. :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Slade8525:
the only phone that, imo, is as revolutionary and fully featured for its time is the S4; waaay too much stuff it can do others cant (im not a samsung fanboy either; i REALLY wish Sony made something that would blow the S4 out of the water). The camera/flash cover/app launcher was brilliant; i never had to manually launch the app, and the cover kept the lens and flash perfectly clean.

i had a piece of regular clear plastic tape i put over the screen with windex and a credit card that kept the plastic screen perfect; EVERYONE asked about that phone, or camera, depending on how i had set it down. I have pics and vids from concerts and all over with it too; battery would last 3 days easily. The day my (then) gf threw it (bounced it off the ground and off my 350Z; it shattered and damaged my car too) was the day i broke up with her, and went to Windows Mobile with the HTC 8525/Hermes/TyTN, and about the time i joined here.

I never found an s710a again with a screen that wasnt damaged (plastic); i would STILL rock that phone dammit.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] pesok:
I know exactly what you mean. I have been a HTC fanboy ever since my very 1st smartphone (HTC Wallaby in 2002(still have it and its still works - HTC SP's built like tanks)) and since then only went with HTC phones. For the last couple of years i stuck with HTC Touch Pro2(upgraded to it from HTC Diamond and HTC Touch Pro1 before that) while searching for something decent with slide-out keyboard and the phone where i could flash(dont hate me) Win6.1 back (not a fan of Win8 either on phone/tablet or PC(Win7 until Win9 comes(even Win8.1 with fake start button)). I gave up on a search about 6 month ago and decided to just ride my beloved TP2 to the end. Well this month my TP2 screen has got a weird black burn in on it(otherwise still works ok-amazing for amount of abuse it took over the years) and i casually started looking again. Looked at HTC One but no MicroSD is not an option and then by accident stumbled across S4 that just hit the shelves. What an amazing piece of hardware! Overclockable(2.3Ghz) 1.9Ghz Quad core with 2GB RAM on the phone? Full 1080P Amoled screen? I was sold and just then saw that TMobile has a sale on them for $580 - that closed the deal for me. Switched to TMO and bought the S4, my 1st non-HTC smartphone! Way to go Samsung - just 4 month ago i was confident that no SP would make me abandon HTC and in the world populated by iSucks i was pretty safe, until S4

off topic posts

guys, i just read 3 last pages of this thread and there is not a single post even remotely related to this San Disk 128GB card, or any other 128GB microsdxc for that matter...If you want to take trips down memory lane and compare old phones and discuss other unrelated stuff - maybe you can take it to pm or make another thread for it?

I created this thread to exchange news about this long awaited upcoming 128gb microsdxc and it's pretty frustrating to read several pages of posts, which have nothing to do with it...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] tuxonhtc:
So the news is that all the microSDXC cards would be compatible with N2, right? Great, can't wait :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apallohadas:
That'd be the working theory yes.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mustasusi:
That'd be working with Nokia 2730 classic as well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Sayid_the_Lost:
Computers (of any kind) can "always" read storages up to the maximum theoretical size of it's allocation table format.The point here is that during the early/mid days of the music player phones the processors/RAMs of the phones we're not fast enough to handle the data in a fluid manner, causing lags, crashes, therefore restricting the use of the cards. The same paradigm was present in the early days of computers, during the periods that memories evolved faster than processors.

Now that processing evolution overwhelmed memory (flash in particular) we can stick to theoretical limits to state if something would work.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] baileyjr:
Nice find... I guess I'll go back to sleep until 2015 then lol
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cantara256:
Lol I know. The upside I guess is that once it does come out, we'll have both phones with internal 128GB storage, and microSDXC with 128GB. 256GB on my phone sounds super sweet! I imagine Google and HTC will probably still insist on non-expandable storage. Oh well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Apo11on:
in a year from now everything will be heavily oriented towards cloud services and half of the phones will have LTE-Advanced modems, which are 10x faster than LTE. Local storage utilization will see noticeable decrease because of that
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Optimistic Pessimist:
I sincerely hope not, otherwise everyone's data usage/costs will skyrocket with the increase in data usage.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Apo11on:
this is kind of off topic discussion, and i'll be the first one to point that out, but can't help answer this one. You can't expect carriers to have same data plans when LTE Advanced phones start coming out. It wouldnt make sense. 5G allows 10x greater speeds on average: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/what-is-lte-advanced-and-why-should-you-care/ and it has bigger range too, so coverage will improve as well. You'll pay the same price for 1TB/month as you pay for 5GB now
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] baileyjr:
Yeah, now someboby just needs to explain that to the carriers lol :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Burginthorn:
Phone companies pushing for cloud storage instead of local storage in their offerings ...

And end up with a situation like Microsoft tried to pull with the X-Box One??

I want my data on my drives, to do with as I please. Not in cloud storage to be accessed or held to ransom.

Sorry you haven't pay your $99.95 this month, therefor you cannot access your data. Have a nice day ...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] @rbiter:
Need to lay off the crack or step out of the reality distortion field. Cloud storage can be useful but until isp's and cloud service providers stop charging and storage becomes a cheap commodity youre just smoking a pipe dream.

Exactly. I don't resent cloud storage but it just isn't viable the way data works now and with all the government snooping and security issues, not to mention relying on somebody else to maintain the integrity of your data and not charge you monthly for it, not to mention other factors like weather, price of fuel and other indirect variables I look forward to 128gb micro SD and beyond.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] leakschina:
Why? Dont relly understand
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] namgisdon:
Arbiter I'm not sure why u are talking about cloud storage all he was trying to say was that carriers will adjust prices according to data potential just like the adjustments going from 3g to 4 my data plan went from 3gbs a month to 6 it's not rocket science if you give people the ability to download at advanced speeds but charge current rates most people will not choose that service I'm pretty sure that's the point no crack smoking involved

I see you were talking about his previous post he does make a good point the bottle neck with those speeds will be at ur local storage so cloud storage seems like a logical move carriers are already trying partnerships with cloud storage services. Though it is hard to say as they keep making memory smaller msata is small enough to fit into tablets who knows but I'm sure carriers and phone companies are already exploring these options lol though it seems like they could be smoking crack sometimes
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] @rbiter:
Data needs to be freely available at commodity prices before cloud ever becomes mainstream. It is very useful for some things, but far from useful where OEM's limit our local storage abilities. I can't believe flagship phones don't come with 32gb minimum by now. Heck 16gb should be the minimum in mid tier and lower phones. It is greed and the illusion of control that is limiting what is available to us. My phone is not a chromebook or thin client device. Slightly off topic, but very related. I can't believe is still the de facto choice for music files. FLAC or wav should be the standard and then we can encode to whatever file suits our need. Its a maximum profit minimum value thing and the mainstream consumer has done little to change it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] GuitarJesus:
I don't think most people use that much data yet. The capacity isn't a huge demand just yet.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheLoonyRebel:
It's also the average consumer not knowing or even caring about what mp3 does to audio quality. All they care about is "hearing" whatever song it is they want to hear not if there's significant bits of the sound quality missing due to digital compression. You could nearly say the same about the loudness war as well. Most people think louder is better but in reality it's not.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] eddddddy:
aac should be most popular and lossless should be always awailable..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheLoonyRebel:
I certainly and fully agree that lossless should be available. Thankfully we're starting to get there a little bit with HD Tracks being lossless and some bands/artists on Bandcamp offering lossless as well. Still a long ways to go however but it's a start.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Apo11on:
that link has been out there for months...it says "Availability: Awaiting Stock" right there, on the product page. They dont have and cant possibly have it because the card hasnt even been officially announced by SanDisk, let alone the store date for online retailers, which usually comes at least few weeks later. You can see that they dont have it by product picture - that card is blank, doesnt list the capacity or memory type. It's just a generic photoshopped image.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] pyraxiate:
Hmmmm? Interesting points although with the whole unlimited 4g / lte craze, those of us who are remotely tech save already have TB's of personal "cloud" storage.

Storage space really is a cheap commodity at this point. It was the data prices from the carriers that hurts the idea of cloud storage.

32gb class 10 microsd cards are as cheap as 20 bucks. If I need more than 32gb + 16gb on board, ill just plug in my thumb drive or portable hard drive.... not to mention the 50gb dropbox I got when I purchased my phone.

Again... not flaming. Just raising some valid points to ponder.

Fyi,

A 2tb NAS is as cheap as 100 bucks these days. Forward port 21 to it, run dynamic dns in your router, and you can access that 2tb from anywhere in the world.... just saying.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fonseca898:
I have my own Samba server at home as well as could storage, but I still prefer to keep my media on a local card or wifi-enabled ext hdd. Streaming high bitrate audio and even average video can easily choke my data connection, or at least result in occasional skips and pauses in many "covered" areas.

Networks have a long way to go before the cloud is a viable choice for much of America. And frankly, I prefer to give up as little control of my data as possible. I'd like an upgrade for my 64GB Micro SD card by the time I have a Note 3.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vantt1:
I agree with you there. Right now, I'm still adapting to the use of cloud storage. I like how it's available across a number of devices that are connected to the internet, but for me I'd rather have local hardware storage on mobile devices that run on battery. Using cloud storage would mean you need an internet connection, and for my purposes, having a fast data plan with a generous quota would mean expensive bills and short battery life.

I got my free 50 GB of Dropbox storage when I got my Note 2, and I haven't used a single byte of it. I'd rather have my music collection on my iPod Classic and my 720p and 1080p Anime collection on my local storage. The bit rates are extremely high, and one episode is usually around 300 MB - 1 GB. Other than an unlimited data plan (which is widely and cheaply available in Hong Kong, at around US$30 per month), battery life would still be an issue.

So, taking into account all that, I'd love to get a 128 GB Micro SD. They weren't available before, so I bought two 64 GB cards a few months ago. Switching them was troublesome, and I often forget what was on each card because they were identical.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] HUYI:
what is ironic is samsung's flagship tablet the note 10.1 2014 still comes with 16gb internal storage at minimum, i was expecting them to ditch that and go for minimum 32gb like the note 3, the 16gb model will only be avalive in the uk and we will never see the 32gb or 64gb versions over here, it still won't be awhile till 128gb micro sd are cheap like 64gb micro sd cards are now so till then uk users will be still be stuck with 16gb + 64gb of local storage.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vantt1:
What's worse is that the software will probably take up about 5GB of the internal storage, leaving less than 9GB usable.

They seem to be more focused on speed and power efficiency. Could they put 1 trillion transistors into that small form factor with 14nm feature size? probably. Would it be UHS-2 compliant as all their roadmaps state? no.

wait until they start using 10nm feature size and you'll have your UHS-2 128GB microsd's.

Flash memory is incredibly simple. 6 transistors per bit. Thats it! the thermal envelope is an entirely different issue. To put any kind of speed into a 128GB microsd at 14nm, it would melt.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] psolord:
Well if they can't fit 128GBs on a microSD, why on earth don't they use another bigger slot?

MicroSDs could still fit to that with adapters.

fully agree, huge enought to find few more milimeters for MINiSD-slot, could produce 128gb's and adapters for microSDs then.

just some ugly big card-reader. i better take SD-microSD adapter and buy up to 256gb SD (128gb is already pretty cheap).

actually i want to buy and modify back covers (putting sd-slot) for different gadgets to let people fit up to 256gb or even place msata-slot (for 256gb and more) working through usb, msata needs low power. or you can just fit some some usb-stick. msata shown in attachment, it's 50x30mm.
