    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.

    @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.
    FAQs... Hmm. I see something in those three letters, biggie, connect those three letters to the mobile forum idea.

    The question is not for any particular phone.

    If 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. 😉

    I 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 😀

    Well, 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..

    As 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.
