The fact that they can read up to 512GB chips when formatted FAT32 but
not when formatted exFAT is a real curiosity. I can understand not grokking something like NTFS - to get that I had to install software under Android that required root - it exposed the Linux ntfs-3g support built into the Linux kernel but not normally exposed under Android.
But exFAT is simply the next evolution of FAT to handle even larger file systems. Current devices should support it. Older devices may have been released before it became widespread. (Imperfect memory says the main difference between exFAT and FAT32 is a rather larger cluster size.)
It works for you, so I'm happy, even if I don't understand it.
