The website says this tablet will support a maximum of 128GB external storage and then the manual says a maximum of 64GB storage card.
Manual:
You can use a microSD or microSDHC card (not
included) to add additional memory space to your
device.
Your device has been tested to support up to a
64GB memory card.
Website:http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab/SM-T800NTSAXAR
External Memory/microSD™ Capacity
Up to 128GB
SDHC/SHD SD Card
Yes
... wikipedia says the max supported size of SDHC is 32GB but anything greater falls under SDXC specifications- so there's some inaccuracy in their manuals and marketing

Fyi received an answer from Samsung customer support:
"
Thank you for contacting Samsung. I see that the Galaxy tab SM-T800NTSAXAR shows support for 128GB external SD card on Samsung website and 64GB on the manual. I have checked our internal database and see that the device supports 128GB micro SDXC card.*"
Thanks for that! I might get an SD card soon lol.
Hi, I was looking for a New MicroSd card for my G4;
I already have a 32gb samsung Pro sd (U3, 90r/80w) which is really fast, but that space in not enough anymore for me.
I saw a 128gb Kingston sd (U1, 45r/10w) for 41€ (or 64gb for 18€), but that write speed makes me flinch :/
Is 10mb/s enough for smartphone use (photos are saved in it, rec. very few videos in FHD 30/60fps, music)?
For a future-proof experience, is better a 64gb U1 now and 128gb U3 in the future (when prices will drop - now is 1€/gb for Samsung pro+ cards)?
Thanks, have a good day.

10MB write is speed is very low for 128GB card! Don't buy it. Buy an U3 card if you will use 128GB high capacity. I suggest you to use 32 or 64GB untill you buy 128GB. But becareful. Research speed before you buy.

10 MB/s write speed is std on sandisk class 10 128GB or even 200GB.
It goes up to 40MB/s for the 64Gb sandisk extreme. Am also looking for a bigger capacity extreme card but its not available in my market as yet.
Curious what people are going to get if getting the new tablet. 64GB, 256GB or Unsure.
The pre-order promotion (free keyboard cover) in my country (belgium) only applies to the 64 GB model, so I voted 64 GB...
So maybe to help people with sizing... was just at the store looking at the 64GB display model.
So out of it, it had 35.3GB usable on the device, with.. roughly 7.5GB installed from apps and some promo video/images. So overall max of 42.8GB roughly.
Without a doubt, I am getting the 256gb version. I am replacing a failing tab s 8.4 with 16gb version. Currently with the games I play, I fill the internal storage very fast. And trying to use external storage really slows down the performance. So I would rather not run into that again in any way. Hoping this tab can also last me 4 years like the last one did.
Got the 64GB model after reallying thinking about it and took a chance. 52GB actually usable space! Whew [emoji3] Plenty for apps, and general storage. Videos and such on SD Card is good for me.

I got the 64GB version, I'm on the fence with this purchase, on the one hand it's a decent enough tablet. On the other hand, Dex needs to be fleshed out more, but is better than ANY chrome os laptop/tablet-hybrid I've tried.
Some Advice: If you go with Best Buy, get the insurance on it. I found out a few years ago with my Samsung Watch that one feature of insurance they don't tell you about is the ability to trade up. Meaning you can sell them your outdated device at the EXACT same price you paid for it, taxes included and it goes back to you in Store Credit. Meaning. Buy the 64GB now, turn it in for the 256 when it comes out, since it wasn't at my Best Buy and they inferred that it was coming at some unknown time. I live in Chicago.
in Canada, the 64GB is already priced ridiculously. the 256GB is the better "deal" but the price can't be justified given last gen specs.
IMO Samsung should have made a "standard" Tab S4 @ current specs, and then a Tab S4+ @ 256GB, 6GB RAM, Snapdragon 845, LTE.
I am based in the Netherlands and would like to purchase the 256Gb model, but it appears that the 64Gb model is the only one (initially) being released in the country.
I checked a few other European countries, but the same situation seems to apply there, too.
Does anyone know of a list of which models are to be released in which countries? I'm currently out of the country until September and travelling back via Dubai then, so if the device were available at the airport, I could pick one up there instead of pre-ordering on-line from a Dutch shop. Of course, I won't then get the good pre-order deal on the keyboard case, so I have to factor that in, too.
So, if I bought a 64gb model and stuffed it with a 256gb SD, would apps be able to be stored on the card? In short, would it behave as a pure 256gb model?
Thanks

Most things do not write to the SD card. Only apps I'm aware that do are multimedia applications, which really is the bulk of the storage space on a device typically.

Nope! All of your apps will install to the internal storage. Some apps will store some data on your SD card (not the same as installing to SDcard) . In short it will be nothing close to having 256gb internal storage. That's why I purchased the 256gb version and expect to take delivery by tomorrow.

I presume you are not in the UK. Only 64gb is available here?
voted 256gb
...but the LTE version only comes in the 64gb variant. Yet another disappointment in what would otherwise be an awesome tablet.

Yes, I saw a youtube video and the guy had a 256g LTE version. Don't recall the region/location.
Happiness would be a 256g LTE with the voice phone radio/ability
Definitely the 64gb, I already have a 256gb microsd card. You can force apps to sd in developer options, but honestly I only need the storage for movies and comics, which is built into the apps I use.
Does anyone know online store in eu where to buy 256gb version? (With or without lte.)
My country's limited period promotion is free upgrade to 256gb. So I got that
After being sceptical about buying the 64gb version, I have now had a few weeks to see how it goes. I have around 150 apps and a 64gb sd card. The main storage is less than half full as is the sd card. I no longer hanker after the 256gb. Very happy?
TL;DR: I'm debating the Tab or iPad, as I don't particularly like Apple's ecosystem, but all the useful apps pertaining to my interests are on iOS. Between the two, both of these devices cost the same for me whether it's 64 or 256GiB. I would go for 256.
You know I've had an Nvidia Shield since 2013. People were still saying that 16GiB should be enough for storage (arguably even 32). This is considering that games, even then, were starting to become fairly large for mobile gaming. I've actually used it up to about this year - though it's slow even on clean install, and the issues of overall sluggishness were never addressed with any update (since Nvidia was quick to ditch support once their tablet came along). It's at a point where I can't do anything on it today other than emulation, but I want to be able to create music and edit videos on a tablet.
I'd plan on obtaining the Korean 256/6 GiB version since it's the only model I've seen in that capacity - though I might have to sacrifice a leg (customs/tax and UPS's bologna "brokerage fees") for this thing costing an arm to begin with. However, also plan on keeping it as long as my Nvidia shield, and even longer. My personal use is mostly going to lie in multimedia creation and some mobile gaming. hopefully I can run a DAW like FL Studio mobile without issue on it but by reviews it seems buggy on a lot of modern devices, so I'm hesitant to drop money on something that may or may not work -- though I have Caustic 3, which works without issue on my Note, but is limited (made for much older devices).
Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of junk apps on the Play store that "you may be interested in". This is what's throwing off my decision to buy the tablet. Too many fart soundboards and fake DJ apps, and not enough professional apps - please correct me if I'm wrong - they seem to be sparse on Android. There is SoundCamp, and while it uses some device features, I don't really care for it.
Dear all,
I am trying to establish the max SD card I can use in my Tablet. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 (Wi-Fi) bought in the UK.
The full specs state 128G samsungcom-uk-tablets-galaxy-tab-s2-9-7-t813-SM-T813NZKEBTU but that is simply not true. I am currently using a 256G Samsung Evo Plus card (
Funnily, the Samsung US website reports something different from the UK one (samsungcom-us-support-owners-product-galaxy-tab-s2-9-7-wi-fi), namely:"External Memory/microSD™ Capacity Up to 400GB with a microSD™, up to 128GB"
I would like to expand from 256 to 400 (amazonuk-gp-product-B074RNRM2B-ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza) but ideally I have some reassurance that it will actually work in my device.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rob
also curious if anyone had luck with a 400gb card in their tab S2.
Not sure about that but I just fitted a samsung evo plus 512 G and it works perfectly
Hope it helps

Your thread title references the T810, but you asked about T813. Which one do you have?
Anyway, the max advertised SD card size id dependent on the file format that the android version with which the tablet ships with is compatible.
If you're running a custom rom of the same version as the latest stock that's available for either model, rest assured that your 400GB card is more than compatible

Assuming I'm not wrong, it supports MicroSDXC which is theoretically capable of 4TB. Obviously though no such cards exist yet. But I can say my stock and custom ROMs for my T-713 support my new 400GB card.
My wife's Galaxy Tab S2 8" is not rooted, same stock as from the factory. She has tons of pictures. Can anyone confirm a Sandisk 512 Extreme SD Micro card will work in these tablets?
I do wonder also if the units default to a certain speed where the more expensive and faster SD cards will not make a noticeable difference.
Really I am just looking for a 400gb or 512gb sd card that is reliable. She already has 248gb of pictures!
My Stock SM-T813 running Android 7.0 is currently using a Sandisk 400GB card with no issues.

I just got official green evo 512gb card from Samsung this holiday for $30 because of rebate from Samsung pay reward points. Yes it work in my Galaxy tab s2 9.7 sm-t813.
a few weeks ago it was advertised that the a50 had 6gb of ram and the a70 8gb, now the a50 says it's 4gb of ram when i shop online and the a70 6gb of ram? I KNOW i'm not loosing my mind yet ... or am i???

what gives?

of course it's discontinued to get people to buy then cheap out the product.
Some regions have 4GB and some have 6GB. For example the ones sold in the UK have 4GB and the ones sold in Hong Kong have 6GB. It's the same with NFC, some have it some don't.
seems like the 6gb was pulled out from the US market
EU has 4gb ram, 128gb storage, while Asia had 6gb ram, 64gb and 128gb storage options.
