Will the new 256 GB microSD card work in a Galaxy S7 edge?

[davidhaney]

The specs online and in the user manual state the maximum size of a microSD card for a Galaxy S7 edge is 200 GB, which was the maximum size available at the time the S7 was release, however a new 256 GB microSD card has since been released. Is anyone using or know if the new 256 GB microSD card will work in a Galaxy S7 edge?l

Tough question to answer with authority unless you've actually tried a larger card, but somewhere I remember a mention something to the effect that if a phone can accept a 200 GB card, it can likely accept up to 2 Terabytes based on known memory protocols and driver chips. I can't attest to whether that information is accurate but I'd bet it can handle 256 GB.

I won't post the link but a competiting forum has stated 2TB for the Note4 and all afterward. A thread on Reddit says essentially the same thing. They say the specs list the largest available card at the time of manufacture but can handle larger as cards get larger.

My guess.. It should work.. Hopefully, someone will give it a try and let us know for sure..
