[UPDATE: Confirmed working in the Galaxy Note 2] Sandisk 64GB Micro SDXC cards confirmed WORKING in Galaxy S II, HTC Sensation, Galaxy S, ASUS Transformer & Transformer Prime, Motorola Razr, Huawei G300, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, and Galaxy S3!



Well, the headline really says it all doesn't it. Read on anyway if you want all the nitty gritty, replete with a geeks best friend, benchmarks.

Today Fedex delivered my 64GB micro SDXC card direct from Sandisk (you have to love mail forwarding services when it comes to buying from US-only online stores). Naturally this was accompanied with the usual new-toy excitement, heightened on this occasion by knowing it would work despite Sandisk's protestations to the contrary, thanks to confirmation from two XDA users who had already received theirs (big thank you to 3waygeek and Ghost77!).

Samsung Galaxy S3: User manual causes exFAT consternation, we have an update!

The recent release of the User Manual for the S3 has caused a bit of a stir for those looking forward to the exFAT support we reported is native to the S3. It states there is support only for Fat32 formatted cards up to a maximum size of 32GB, which is obviously counter to what our research found, and even contradicts Samsung's own official launch announcement where they specifically mention support for cards up to 64GB in size.

If the presence of an official Samsung document excluding exFAT support has set your teeth on edge, we have some good news.

You see, I'm in touch via Twitter with @Amon_Ra - known Android developer and all around good guy (follow him now!), and he has actually had an S3 in his possession since last week for testing
purposes. I asked him to test exFAT support for me, and this was his reply:

@NZtechfreak I formatted an 8Gb microsd to exFAT using Windows 7. It works without issues in the S3.

So there you have it, actual user confirmation that exFAT works natively on the S3. You can relax now on that count. Now all you have to worry about is the million other questions you have about the S3, and the interminable wait for it's release...
