Hello has anyone here tested if the Xperia Z supports the new 128gb SDXC-Cards?
I know that officially the Xperia-Z just works with cards up to 32gb but have also already read about 64gb Cards being used without any problem.
And if it should work with 128gb cards, then i rather buy the 128 instead of the 64gb SDXC as those should be future-proof.

It'd be great if it did. I know it works with 64GB cards as I've got one in mine at the moment. Sadly I can't afford to splash out on a 128GB card yet so I can't test.

Anybody else know?

Yea they are still kinda pricey, i guess it would still be more affordable to buy 2x64gb SDXC rather than one 128gb, but if you have a quite large music-collection there is no real alternative.
I was used to about 128gb (total capacity) on my old SGS3 before, and it was really convenient to have the music-library just a swipe away :)

Therefore iam looking for the same on the XperiaZ.


Lets see if someone here has the spare-parts to test :D

I too would like some feedback on this if possible, I am looking at buying a Xperia Z to go with my 128 GB MicroSD card I just bought, the ONLY use for this device will be as a media player, so don't want to get it for that intended use and it not do what I want.

I know this thread is almost a year old but I thought it's worth adding a new post to it.

I've just taken delivery of a 128GB SDXC card. It was on sale and I figured I'd risk it.

And it works! I slotted it into my XZ and suddenly I had huge amounts of storage space!

So yes, it works. Go get one now!! ;)

Anyone tested 256gb micro sd on xperia z? ? I need one for countinous video recording.
Where did you get one of those from? I could do with a bigger card, mine is getting very full already..

It should work, in theory. Technically, if a phone can use a Micro SD card, it can use any capacity of Micro SD card.

No it depends on cpu and phone's ram. there could be unsupported sd card massage or some lag issues. even 1tb card is now available. I'm using a 64gb with no problem, but it's never enough for hd recording.
If you'd like to know the app for cvr try Recam.apk I don't know any better app, sth more complete eg for auto replacing old files and more quality options...
