Did anyone try 128GB microSD cards for our beloved S3 ? Since 128GB uses exFat I think our S3 will support it !!

I am thinking of buying it but I need some confirmation that it does work on our S3 ...

You've been able to do this for a while now. Create a micro sd > sd card adapter, find a suitable way to slot it on the back case and away you go.

edit: couldn't find the one I saw before, it was on a flex cable which made it easier to set up.
here's an example of one though: http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/SD-to-micro-SD-extender-adapter_880824875.html

just remember that Windows will not properly format a Fat32 card bigger than 32gb. Either format in the mobile device or get a utility for windows that works. There are several free .

Congrats. I burned 4 totally different 64gb cards before I finally gave up.Formatted each one differently but as soon as it hit the phone- erased.

Mine is only 32GB,I was wondering will the 128GB microSD cards affect the speed?Since it would take much more time to scan the whole card.

No, it won't. I didn't notice any slow down after changing the card from 64Gb to 128 GB. The only thing i noticed was, that my music player (Neutron) took a while for scanning the card. But this was only on the first time. After that it runs absolutely flawless...
