Question About Phone Expandable Memory (microSD)
Let's say a phone has 8gb of internal memory and supports upto 32gb through microSD. Does that mean the phone will support total storage space of 8+32 = 40 GB? Or does it mean that the total memory cannot exceed 32GB?

If you have seen the above sentence, it means it can support 40GB.
I hope what it means by that is that it can support 32Gb through microSD. That means, it can support a total of 40GB. 8gb is internal. -
Kaustubh Katdare@aj: Are you sure. I think it's the OS/Firmware that decides how much memory is supported.

I hope they are saying that the phone can support 32GB through microSD even if it has 8GB internal memory because the phone OS may support a total of 40GB. Can't that be the fact. Which phone is it anyway? I am interested to know. Take a look at its FAQs which may be present somewhere in the internet.The_Big_K@aj: Are you sure. I think it's the OS/Firmware that decides how much memory is supported.
FAQs... Hmm. I see something in those three letters, biggie, connect those three letters to the mobile forum idea. -
Kaustubh KatdareThe question is not for any particular phone.

aj_ondutyIf that is the case, then it differs from model to model. Please read the specifications carefully before buying and please do a good research about it before you buy it. The marketing managers of large firms are known for their usage of words, rather playing with words. 😉

sam_from_hellI have a similar question, is the SD card the same as a SDHC card? Also my phone supports aupto 32GB external memory, but SD cards have max 4GB, and the 8(+)GB cards are SDHC only, so does my phone support SDHC too? I want to be sure before i buy, Thanks 😀

silverscorpionWell, as far as I have heard, most phones are usually expandable upto 32 GB. That should mean the total memory including the internal memory should come to 32 GB, I think..
Not sure, though.. -

Jatin KumarAs far i have concerned with this topic , i used to use 4gb memory card where they said 2gb expandable it was working good with a little lag time to time,and about your question i think is 40GB total because they said
External memory:microsd, upto 32gb
and if you don't want to take any kind of risk ,go for OTG Pendrives. -
