Hello, Question Regarding USB to MicroSD Adapters!

Hello, Question Regarding USB to MicroSD Adapters! - General Questions and Answers

Hello!
I have an LG G4 which has developed a fault with screen burn-in and so it's being sent back to LG for repair sometime over the next week. I am expecting to be without the phone for around anywhere up to a month, but in the meantime i have a 2013 Moto G 1st Gen that i can use, which is actually a pretty sweet phone when running CM13. The only problem is that the internal storage in the Moto G is only 16GB, and it doesn't have a card slot to put my SanDisk Ultra 128GB microSD.
I investigated the Meenova but it would be a little expensive for me to buy and have it shipped over to the UK, my calculations bring the amount to $15 which equates to approximately £11, which is a bit steep for something i will only use for a month at most. And besides that, the website states that postage from Hong Kong could take more than a few weeks or even a month!
Thankfully, i have come up with another idea. I have a microscopic adapter at home which converts USB to Micro USB. It does essentially the same job as a USB OTG cable but it's incredibly small and genuinely cannot be seen once it is fitted between two devices. So i thought that i could use this adapter to convert the Moto G's Micro USB socket to USB, and then have a USB to microSD adapter plugged into that to add support for my 128GB microSD card.
I am looking at two different cheap ones on eBay at the moment which are here and here. I'm all set for buying one of them but my question is, will either of those work with a card as large as 128GB (microSDXC) such as mine? I'm a little doubtful as to whether these will only support lower capacity cards which are 32GB (microSDHC) and below, but don't see why not because it's only a simple adapter, nothing more.
What do you guys think, would these cheap adapters support microSDXC cards with capacities such as 64GB and 128GB? Any insight on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Micro SD to Mini SD Adaptor?

I am looking for a Micro SD to Mini SD Adaptor has anyone seen one?
I am sure I saw a picture of one but I have never seen them for sale. My next phone will take Mini SD but given I spent £60 last year on a 4GB SD last year I am trying to future proof this time and buy a Micro rather than buying a Mini this year then possibly a Micro next year at upgrade time.
Cheers

Anyone have a Kingston G2 microsd usb adapter and a 64gb microsdxc?

I read one report that this adapter truncates a 64gb microsdxc's available space to 30gb. I emailed Kingston back and forth about it but just got useless replies.
Or does anyone know of an equally small adapter. The casing can potentially be larger since I'd most likely be stripping it bare to fit in between a case and phone.

Cheap USB OTG device

Figured as the S5 is new and the Galaxy range has been OTG compatible, this might be of some use to somebody. As mentioned in the glass protector thread, I've used a couple of these from the seller (on my G2 . . . Don't tell anyone I am here in this forum checking out the S5 progress in time for my next upgrade ha ha) and they do the job as expected. I bought a Meenova before these too (which is still a cool device it must be said), but these were much cheaper than importing a Meenova to the UK was.
Has a basic option -

And a fancier option with USB, Micro USB, SD slot on one device -

S6 vs Other Next Generation Phones

I currently have an S4. I love it, I also got an extended battery, and a 64GB MicroSD card. I was hoping a better S5 when the S6 came out but it actually seems like they kinda went backwards on a few things. This has left me thinking about just going to a different phone. What does anyone else think? I know extended batteries are on the way out I have given up on that for a next gen phone but was hoping that the S6 would keep the Water proof, USB 3, Removable Battery and MicroSD card. I can only wonder why they took away these features.

Hi, total newbie, first post, but.
As a Samsung owner from the original S, currently running a S4, I have to agree with your observations, in regards to going backwards.
Personally, I see the removal of the SD card as a money making scam on Samsungs part. Ok, I have no real world experience of what handset internal memory costs to buy in regards to manufacturing etc, but.
To me, the variations in memory sizes should have been costed against what the equivalent micro SD card cost to buy respectively.
Sandisc 32gig Class 10 £13
Sandisc 64gig £26
Sandisc 128gig £70 ish.
Not to robbed blindly at £200 for the extra 90 odd gig you get between 32 & 128 inbuilt.
The say they dropped the micro SD due to the full metal frame and glass back, rubbish. It looks like they have a machined slot to take the micro sim, so why couldn't they do similar with micro sd card?
Battery is an issue certainly, if it turns out like the original S4 ones, that ended up swollen.
It makes you wonder if these handsets will be operational in 5 years time. I mention this as I have a few old handsets, in pristine condition, with original batteries from the late 90's, early 2000 that all still work perfectly. Im afraid that I can's see the same with their modern builds.

Well,looks like we don't have much options left of removable batteries smartphones,but its not a big deal,at least for me,because its not like we can't replace it,its just harder but still possible.The issue here is that only 2550 mAh,plus with a unnecessary QHD display ,the S6 battery can perform any better than our S4?
For the SD Card,they don't drop it because of the glass and metal design,its performance related.S6 have amazingly fast R/W internal memory,and a SD card would ruin it.The price off course will be a issue,but i think they made a good choice.
The biggest drawback is the lack of waterproof,and for the USB 3,i wonder when they will begin to implement the Type C standard on Smartphones,that would be cool!

I think im gonna jump this generations of smartphones because I am still happy with the S4 and type C standard is actually a very nice practical thing to have. I'm even delaying my motherboard upgrade because of that.

Is there a case with an OTG micro sdxc reader built in for the Note 7?

I am curious, since the 512gb micro sdxc cards are not available on the market yet, if there is a case manufacturer that is making a case with a OTG micro sdxc card reader built into the case? The one that comes to mind for the Galaxy S6 is the Offgrid by Incipio.
Here is the link to the article about this case, going to the company's website shows a new version of the Offgrid case with the micro sdxc card slot missing. .

I am looking for a case like this for the Note 7 so I can have the 64gb internal memory, 256gb in the card slot and then 256 loaded on the phone through the OTG connection without an adaptor sticking out the bottom of the phone.

I can't imagine that they'll make such a case. The S6 lacked a micro SD card slot, so there was a natural market. The market for folks who need 2 cards slots may be limited... to just you.

I would agree with rcobourn. Maybe this would have some appeal to people wanting dual sim and loosing sd card slot in the process, but for most over 300 GB of storage on the phone is good enough.
