Tech News : SanDisk's 200GB microSD card.
The largest microSD card available was 128GB of unformatted storage, but this latest version adds more than 50% additional capacity.
The 200GB card sells for £210 so it's not a cheap option but for those that like to keep lots of data such as music libraries, photo albums , films and documents this could be invaluable to them.
Of course one has to be sure whether your Handset will accept a 200GB SD card. I've seen a few recent smartphones saying they only take 128GB cards, but those specs were published before the 200GB card even existed. The LG's G4 and G Flex 2 and the HTC One M9 all say they can handle up to 2TB cards which as of yet do not yet exist.
Being an iPhone user I can but dream of using such an awesome piece of kit. I do so wish would relax their hold on allowing SD Card features.
What's the largest SD Card you've used ?
Have you ever managed to max one out ?

Why would any device with a micro SD card slot not accept a large capacity card? It's not the device that stores the files, it's the card, when in the device bumph it says that it has a 32Gb capacity, that is the capacity of the internal memory and this can be expanded by means of inserting an SD card, it says nothing as far as I know about what memory capacity card you can use and in your settings you can choose to store files on either device internal memory or on the SD card. It would be interesting to know how high a capacity card anyone has put in their device, phone in particular.

Put really simply, it is down to the device not being able to read an SD card beyond a particular size. So, if for example a device has 32GB internal storage with a memory card slot that is rated for 64GB, if you put a 128GB memory card in it, it will not be read by the device.

On the devices I've tried it on, none of them will read a card beyond the maxium rated capacity.

Perhaps those that don't will have some kind of patch in an OS update if viable.
