Samsung SDHC - Still unavailable?

In January and February of this year, the press was just gushing about the Samsung announcement that they were going to 20nm process for flash memory, and were introducing Class 10 SDHC in 16, 32 and 64GB sizes by April.
Does anyone know what happened? My guess is that the fabs are running, but the silicon is ending up in SSDs, rather than in microSD cards. I'd love to get a fast 32GB module, but they just don't exist right now.
Has anyone found these in the wild? The Samsung production site does not show them as being available, or even in production.

A 64 would be useless. Most devices don't detect, and I think Android isn't compatible with it as a whole OS. Well not yet. Unless your gonna use it for something else.
As for the question, idk haha sorry. I just didn't wanna see you buy a ridiculously Expensive, awesome, and useless sdhc

Who ever said I wanted a 64GB? More to the point, where are the Samsung 32GB microSD cards at?

I don't know if I would go further more than 32GB, it would be a computer, or a tablet, and not fitting my phone.
but yes, I'm waiting for a 32GB microSDHC from Samsung, since I see that info too, a few months ago..

i found one at ebay but don't know it still available or not...

Thank you! Nice vid.

So this makes it worth as much as a $1200 ipad...

Great To Know..
Great Job on the vids Snake :good:
And Thanks for passing on the info.. having a 128 Gb option that works across multiple configs is a good thing..

Nice. I just popped a 64GB card in. The lack of external (and internal) storage is what kept me from buying a Nexus 7. It's ridiculous that they won't put in a simple expansion slot just so they can sell them in different capacities. Well, their loss.

Dunno about that. It's possible in the Google Music app to move music files to external sd card so there is support.

At the current price, no. You can pick up a 64GB card for $35 - $40. Thus you can pick up 5 - 64 GB cards at this price. I know it's not as convenient to have a single large capacity card, but to me, it's too expensive right now. Give it 6 months and it will be considerably cheaper.

Thanks!

Good point. Maybe I should have read this before I bought the card.
But I am not regretting it as I don't think I can wait another 6 months and I am pretty sure I'll lose some cards if I'm using multiple cards . Now I can put many of my 1080p videos on the device!! yay!

Thanks! I appreciate having actual user confirmation this works. LG's manual and the Google Play store both indicate that there is an artificial 64 GB limitation to microSD cards on this device, which is really stupid considering that it's both a lie and it makes the device look far less useful than it really is! I only have one device that works with 64 GB cards in exFAT format but not 128 GB cards in exFAT, but it's a camcorder. The general state of SD support is a huge mess, even for technically-minded customers.

Hi, I just get this 128 Gb Sandisk for my LG PAD 8.3. It recognize 119Gb which is fine but I can't copy any file on it !
I tested it on Windows and the copy is OK.
What kind of file manager are you using with the Sandisk ? I am using daily ES Explorer with a 64Gb and it can copy any file anywhere.
It seems ES can't deal with this Sandisk. Same issue with the default file manager that comes with the LG pad 8.3
Thanks in advance for your help !

give this a try and see if you can write to the sdcard afterwards.

Peener81, actually finding no other solution 2 days after that post I rooted my brand new GPAD 8.3. Void warranty, but the issue is fixed ! ES explorer or the default explorer can now write on the Sandisk 128 GB.
Anyway thanks for your help !

MicroSD

With the OnePlus 3 including dual SIM, couldn't we swap the dual SIM tray for a SIM and microSD tray, therefore giving us expandable storage?

It seems that OP3 doesn't support SD Cards :/

I've watched and read quite a few high-profile reviews and nobody has mentioned whether an SD card it will work in the sum tray. I would assume that it won't.

Maybe wait for a tear down of the device to be certain?? Unless someone has the schematics to look it up for us right now...

Also wait till after June they may be bringing out a bigger storage version. And also the Gold 1 comes out then. I won't buy it if I can at least get 128GB and Gold. Otherwise not worth it.

64gb is enough for me. Internal is faster anyways. This device is a beauty and a beast.

Would love to have a SD card. More then once killed backups by factory resetting the internal storage But probably wont be possible to get this to work on the 3...
But ordred one aniway

I really really can't stress enough how true this is. I've been saying it for years, and nobody seems to see it. If you can connect whatever to the USB (such as an external memory or HDD) your need for an internal card is greatly reduced (as long as the phone has a bare minimum of storage space to make it serviceable).
But I was beginning to think I was the only one seeing that!

OTG is definitely useful and I learned that on my 64gb nexus 6 but it is no where near as convenient as having an sd card slot or higher internal storage amount.
I made use of it out of pure necessity but having foolishly bought another 64gb only device in my note 5 I decided I will never again buy a device without a minimum 128gb internal storage or an ext sd card slot.
its just not worth the hassle for me personally being forced to use OTG.

The lack of expandable storage is a deal-breaker, whatever anyone might say otherwise. You can simply remove the SD Card with ALL the data & backup from a phone that goes dead.
Would have also loved a IR blaster AND a larger battery, which I might add, could have been incorporated by raising the back & making it flush with the camera bump.
Current iteration of Oneplus with a dedicated Micro SD card slot (Not a Hybrid One), IR Blaster & a larger battery (4000+ mAh) would have destroyed every other phone.

cloud storage is far easier for backup than microSD.
4000mAh battery would make the phone significantly heavier and thicker
IR blaster is a niche product and cost-ineffective to implement since most won't use it.

Google photos for example. I would have bought the op3 even if it was 16 gb due to storing everyting in the Cloud.

I have an extra SD card, I'll try to cut it out to the size of a micro sim and see it it works, I don't think it will but with a try

will not work, phone only have two regular sim slots, not hybrid with sd card reader. opened, seen. probably what you'll get, stucked sd card in sim slot and voided warranty.

Ah bummer... just decided to get one but it's a dealbreaker for me too.

only for sim
oneplus 3 will only support dual sim no sd card

Doubts about A3 2017 storage space

Hi,
I wanna buy this cellphone but I'm a little worried because reviews say that out of the 16 GB of space, only a little more than 9 are available for the user, which seems a little low to install apps and a few games. How's your experience with this phone's storage?
Cheers!

actualy its more like about 5,5 to me

Really?? That's bad...

Yeah, 16 GB is terrible in 2017 to be honest. If there isn't a 32 GB model then I'd consider jumping to the A5 2017 because I know for sure that has a 32 GB model, it's 5.2 inches instead of the A3's 4.7 inches which is a normal sized phone these days and is easy to handle, it's not that much more expensive than the A3, and it has much better specs including 3 GB of RAM instead of the 2 GB the A3 has. Trust me, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage just isn't good enough for apps in 2017 and it'll start to lag in a few months (even my A5 stutters sometimes).
But if you still end up with an A3, you should know that it does come with a microSD card slot for expandable storage so you can move some of your apps to your SD card (games are usually movable), and if you ever plan to root your phone one day, you can move all your apps to your SD card.

It's actually the size of the phone (along with the price) that makes me wanna go for it (I love mini phones), but it's great to know that I can move apps to the SD card.

I think you should be taking specs into consideration more because the A3 is seriously weak in all departments (not just storage, but camera, performance, etc.). I'd recommend going for the iPhone SE if you really want a smaller phone or the Pixel at 5 inches maybe for a phone that's fantastic in all departments at a size that isn't that much bigger than the A3 (just 0.3 inches larger which you really won't notice after using the phone for a few minutes).
I'm just saying, the A3 won't last you a year and a half without becoming a slow nightmare. If you have the money you should definitely go for the iPhone SE or a Pixel which will last you two or three years before it starts becoming a hassle to deal with as those are actually quality compact phones while the A3 is more of a smaller, lower quality version of an already budget phone (the A5 2017).

Have had A3 2017 for 6 months and have to agree with above - don't bother! Was tempted by small size and price and battery life. But storage is always full despite only a handful of apps on it and photos, apps, videos being all on SD card. Useless.

the phone hardware is awesome for its price tag and it is a small phone that fits into our pockets.
i just got a new a3 2017 phone, which comes with lots of bloatware and there is no way to uninstall (not disable) them easily.
the development community has yet embraced this phone meaning, there is no official lineageos release for this phone and the same goes for twrp ([here is unofficial one][1]) and even the famous odin tool for flashing, supports only windows (guess i will have to use [heimdall][2]).
after playing with the phone for a day, i can tell that i really miss the following features:
- dark theme (with lineageos we could easily replace the builtin theme)
- vibration feedback (do not want to get a special keyboard application like swype to do the trick, as i want it system wide)
- haptic feedback for capacitive buttons (do not want to get a special application like [vibeonkey][3] to do the trick, as i want it system wide)
now that lineageos reached 15.1 maybe some of the guru developers here could provide us with an unofficial (not buggy) release of lineage 15.1.
i do not mind to get lineage 14.1 working, as it is better than the nougat version that was released by samsung.
ps, regarding the storage and in case you missed it, just use an sdcard or whatever this phone supports.

even after rooting the phone, i couldn't delete (not disable or hide) to reclaim space and i tried many free apps that suppose to do that.
are you familiar with any application that truly delete the system application?

this is how i finally deleted the bloatware:
1. root the device i used this twrp.
2. use titanium backup but before that do this

New V30 Variant Coming...

Although they don't list the CPU it will have in it but it will have 256GB of storage. There isn't really many other details about it and whether we will even see it outside of South Korea. Is the LG Lens really a smart move for LG after 11 years of failure to turn a profit with their mobile division? Personally, a rehash right up against the S9 and S9+ screams failure for LG once again. Is anyone else interested in this revision of the V30? I like what Huawei is doing with their Kirin 970 processor and their implementation of AI for their cameras, especially the P20's triple camera setup that is coming. Can LG deliver that kind of experience though with their AI implementation?
Android Authority Article

Good, maybe another development that could push the 64GB V30 price down faster.
As long as an SD slot is available with large capacity card support, it is usually more economical per GB to spend extra on a larger capacity card than on more internal memory beyond the basic 64GB. If a large enough card is available - and the recent 400GB micro SD card on the market means Sandisk or Samsung are not far behind with a faster & more reliable 512GB card.
As for all the AI and other new bells and whistles: No thanks.

It makes me wonder if this is going to be more of a newer dual-SIM model. When using dual-SIM, you lose the SD card slot so the extra internal memory would be a good thing. It would be nice to see the V30/V30+'s get cheaper faster. The S9's are a few weeks away and that will pretty much take the focus off of last generation tech like the V30. If LG can implement something like Huawei has done with the Mate 10 Pro, then that will interest me. I do hope LG gets their act together with their screens though. The uniformity issues are a lot more common than I personally had thought they were and need to be addressed.
