Default [Q] Max Memory 32 GB or 48 GB???

So on T-Mobile site for GS2 specs, it says that it can support upto 32 GB of additional storage. However on the box, it said some what 48 GB. Do they mean 32 GB exteranl + 16 GB internal??

Exactly, 48 is the maximum capacity

16 pin the internal and up to 32 external

More than likely. I have a 32gb and the internal 16gb. There's no such thing as a 48gb card.

technically speaking there is no such thing as MAX MEMORY unless you are talking about RAM which we are are Maxed out at 1GB

there is a MAX internal storage space of 16GB give or take a few GB for the internal ROM Apps

and there is simply no MAX external storage, as you can swap to any amount of external SD card

even the 64 GB works with our phone.... a bit waaaaay too overpriced if you ask me

soon enough when the 128 GB comes out the 64 GB will drop in price

so until then carrying a few extra 32 GB is the best deal at the moment

Thanks AllGamer.So, when they say 'Upto 32 GB' doesn't this mean that we cannot insert external storage of more than 32 GB. Has anyone tried the 64 GB storage and if the phone recognizes it, does it show the 64 GB space. It'll be gud to know if someone has tried and can confirm as you do not want to make a weird face if you buy and it did not work

it works, there's a video floating around.

all you need to do is format it with the phone itself or linux

you don't get full 32 GB on a 32 GB SD card, you get like 29GB, same goes for the 64GB you get around 59GB after the format

Just to clarify, 32GB is absolutely the max amount you can have on this device. any 64gb microsd are actually a new type of card, (SDXC) Previous generations are (SDHC) which has a maximum capacity of 32GB... make no mistake, the 32GB limit is a limit of the SDHC slot on the device, new 64gb cards will not work.

that's turning into an urban legend...

very few devices OLD devices have that limitation

any thing that came out in the past 2 years can read the 64GB microSDXC, you just need to format it

you don't even need to partition it, just throw it into the phone, go to settings internal storage format, done
