Largest SD card the S5 will handle?

[sdeeter19555]

Bought two new 900s from AT&T. Wife took a short video on UDH, and burnt up nearly a GB of her small 16GB card...so I'm on the hunt. I have a 32GB in mine, both cards were from our previous S3 Minis.

I have a 64GB in my Tab A, will the S5 handle a 64GB or even a 128GB?

Thanks!

The device specifications say it will accept up to 128GB. If that's what you plan on using there shouldn't be a problem at all.

Thanks!

Is read and/or write speed critical? I've found a Samsung Pro that supposedly reads 95mbs and writes 90mbs...

Practically, there are no limits to the size of the SDCard that you are able to use. Users on Android Central report having no problems with the new SanDisk 200GB card. Just be sure to get a good brand name (SanDisk, Lexar, Samsung), put it in your phone and format it using Android and not your computer. You should have no issues. The 128GB "limit" is to cover Samsung's a**. BTW - the 200GB card is on sale now for $130!

Thanks for all the insight, I just ordered two 64gb Samsung Pro+ micro SD cards. 64gb should be plenty for our purpose, and I bought the high speed cards because the phone defaulted to the device storage on UHD recording.
