For the longest time now, I have been hearing that, this phone can support up to 64 gigs for SD card expansion, that can support up to 128, and stuffs like that.

I am just wondering, how this limitation works!!

As far as I know, there is no limitation for the thumb drives, then why on SD cards?

I am using a Windows 8.1 tablet and it say's it can support up to 64 gigs of expansion. Although I haven't popped in a higher storage SD card, I am just curious to know, what ll happen if I do so.

And is there a way around it to make a higher capacity SD cards work on it?

    Sometimes that kind of "limit" isn't meant as a spec, only advice that it has been successfully tested with one that large, more like a guarantee that it will work. It might have been the largest size readily available to the public at the time the marketing materials were prepared. It doesn't necessarily mean that a larger one won't work.

In short, because they are having different spec, below image is the short summary of the three different type of SD:

In long, you may want to go through the SD page in wiki, there is no way to bypass it since this is hardware limitation. (Of cause, unless you swap with different hardware with correct drive installed.)

  • my tablet supports MicroSD, SDHC and SDXC. If SDXC is 32GB - 2TB then how come it is restricted to only 64GB, and if it, it's not a hardware limitation.

  • Although it told you support up to 64GB only, you can insert a 128GB+ sd card.
