Thanks. I'm on MIUI Global 10.3.6 and want to use a Samsung 128 GB microSD factory-formated as exFAT. So I will try.
I'm on MIUI 11 now and use a Samsung 256GB SD Card, exFAT of course, no problem at all. I installed it on my phone right after taking it out of its packaging, it works, it's already formatted.

But from experience, some custom kernels can have a problem with this. So I took it out again and formatted manually on my PC as exFAT of course, before putting it back in, no kernel problems.

P.S. I also used 128GB exFAT when I was in MIUI 10, no problem ... Same on my Pocophones, all good.

Using Morfuz 3.4 kernel on my Note 7, Franco Kernel on my Pocophones

128GB exfat vs fat32

My phone (running MIUI 11) won't format 128GB sandisk - phone reboots and gets stuck on Redmi screen. Won't recognize 128GB exfat at all. However works fine when I format the card in Fat32 in win10.
