Can I use a 64GB MicroSD?

[RB_Kandy]

I've never owned a smartphone, and I'm seriously considering the Optimus F7
The online manual says it can hold a 32GB MicroSD card, but I've heard that the Optimus F7 can use a 64GB from several unofficial sources. My question is, will the phone recognize only 32 of that 64 GB? Or will it recognize all 64GB.
If it can recognize all 64GB, does it have to be partitioned into 2 32GB partitions?
And does any of that require rooting?

Either it will recognize all 64 gigs of it or none at all. I Can't say for sure that a 64 gig card works since I have a 32gig.

I've known 64gb cards to work in phones claiming to only support 32 but they needed to be formatted first (to fat/vfat?) to be readable by the phone

Yes, I'm using a 64gb sandisk class 10 ultra in mine right now No need for rooting, you may have to try formatting it in the phone from storage in the settings. If that does not work, you may have to format it to fat32 in windows with a formatting program as windows does not support formatting anything above 32gb to fat32.

You should also consider getting an ultra or extreme class 10 microsd from Sandisk for best app and file transfer performance.
