Dear all,
I am trying to establish the max SD card I can use in my Tablet. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 (Wi-Fi) bought in the UK.
The full specs state 128G samsungcom-uk-tablets-galaxy-tab-s2-9-7-t813-SM-T813NZKEBTU but that is simply not true. I am currently using a 256G Samsung Evo Plus card (
Funnily, the Samsung US website reports something different from the UK one (samsungcom-us-support-owners-product-galaxy-tab-s2-9-7-wi-fi), namely:"External Memory/microSD™ Capacity Up to 400GB with a microSD™, up to 128GB"
I would like to expand from 256 to 400 (amazonuk-gp-product-B074RNRM2B-ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza) but ideally I have some reassurance that it will actually work in my device.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rob

Your thread title references the T810, but you asked about T813. Which one do you have?

Anyway, the max advertised SD card size id dependent on the file format that the android version with which the tablet ships with is compatible.

If you're running a custom rom of the same version as the latest stock that's available for either model, rest assured that your 400GB card is more than compatible :)

Assuming I'm not wrong, it supports MicroSDXC which is theoretically capable of 4TB. Obviously though no such cards exist yet. But I can say my stock and custom ROMs for my T-713 support my new 400GB card.

My wife's Galaxy Tab S2 8" is not rooted, same stock as from the factory. She has tons of pictures. Can anyone confirm a Sandisk 512 Extreme SD Micro card will work in these tablets?

I do wonder also if the units default to a certain speed where the more expensive and faster SD cards will not make a noticeable difference.

Really I am just looking for a 400gb or 512gb sd card that is reliable. She already has 248gb of pictures!

I just got official green evo 512gb card from Samsung this holiday for $30 because of rebate from Samsung pay reward points. Yes it work in my Galaxy tab s2 9.7 sm-t813.
