What is the maximum micro SD card capacity a phone can support?

EDIT: I could be wrong on this, but the principle remains the same. It appears that 32gb is the limit of “MicroSD SDHC” which most phones support. The only 64gb MicroSD cards are SDXH, which is a format many phones don’t support yet. Yes, SDHC and SDXC are what separates the capacity really. It only supports 32GB because SDHC is limited to 32GB.

Why can’t I use a larger SD card on my phone?

The type of storage technology is the main factor that determines maximum size of an SD card that a device can support. However, occasionally there are other controlling factors. For example, the firmware of the device can be built in such a way that it dictates its own storage limits.
