However, there is nothing surprising in the fact that newly minted smartphone owners who have switched to this model from other, earlier ones have a similar question. The fact is that, starting with the models of the Galaxy S6 line, Samsung decided to combine the slot for SIM cards and microSD cards. As a result, the body of the phones became monolithic, and the cards acquired a new location.

You will need a suitable SIM card for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ and use it correctly.
This guide will tell you what size applies, how to insert and change the SIM card, and how to use two SIM cards in versions Dual SIM.
What is the correct SIM card size?
To make phone calls or use mobile data, you will need a SIM card (subscriber identification module), which can be obtained from any telecom operator (MegaFon, MTS, Beeline, Tele2, etc.).
Technically, for mobile phones There are 4 different card sizes:
- Full size SIM card. Often referred to as 1FF (1st form factor). This is a "giant" size: 85.60 mm × 53.98 mm × 0.76 mm. You probably won't be able to find it on the market, and no Android phone has used this size.
- Mini-SIM (2FF). Commonly referred to as a "large", "normal" or "standard" SIM in some countries. Most carriers and phone manufacturers phased out their production a few years ago.
- Micro-SIM (3FF). Still the most popular size for smartphones. Most of the middle and budget smartphones use this card. In some regions, it is called a "small" SIM card.
- Nano-SIM (4FF). This is the "smallest » map available today for smartphone. For most flagship smartphones, this is required.
The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ use a Nano-SIM card.
If you just bought a new flagship from Samsung, and before that you used another phone, then you may have already used a nano SIM card in it.
For example, some popular phones using nano-SIM: Galaxy S7 (edge), Galaxy Note 5 and 7, Galaxy S6 (edge, edge+), iPhone 7 (7+), iPhone 6S (6S+), iPhone 6 (6+), iPhone 5, Moto X (including all generations) and many more. If you had/have any of these phones, the SIM card will work for the Galaxy S8 (S8+) as well.
You can always get a Nano-SIM from your carrier (preferably), but you can cut the Micro-SIM card yourself to the desired size, for example, using a special cutter or a clerical knife.
What is slot 2 in the SIM tray?
As shown in the figure below, the tray has two slots, regardless of the region.
Slot 1 is always dedicated to the SIM card.
However, slot 2, which is larger, may be used differently depending on your region and model.
Slot 2 is used for Micro SD memory cards and only in the Dual SIM version (model availability depends on your region) you can insert a second nano-SIM card into it.

How to use two SIM cards in the Dual SIM version?
For the dual SIM version of the Galaxy S8 or S8+, you are allowed to use 2 SIM cards at once.
Please note that there are some restrictions:
- This only works in Dual SIM version.
- You cannot use a micro SD card when using two SIM cards at the same time.

In the dual-sim version, management is carried out in the "Settings - SIM-card manager" menu. You must specify which SIM is for mobile data (although both can connect to 3G / 4G networks) and which will be the default for calls and messages. These settings can be changed at any time.
Replacing the Samsung Galaxy S4 SIM card is a task that seems difficult and overwhelming, given the new MicroSIM standard used in phones of this model. Users who are used to solving communication problems by rearranging the SIM card, as well as retrogrades who change the operator or phone number by purchasing a completely different card, are confused when faced with this problem.

Instruction
This guide consists of five steps. You will need a special plastic spatula, long nails or some kind of comfortable and soft thin object with which you can pry some details.

Step 3: After removing the back cover, be sure to remove the memory card from a special slot located directly under the main camera of the device:
- Gently press down on the edge of the memory card until you hear a click.
- Remove the spatula or finger from the card - a click preceded the automatic ejection of the memory card with its locking tray.
- Once this has happened, remove the memory card and carefully place it in a place where it will not get lost.
- When assembling the Samsung S4, insert it in reverse order.
Step 4: Pry off the phone's battery, remove it and set it aside.
Step 5: To remove the Samsung Galaxy S4 SIM card, push it inward, as you did with a memory card:
- You need to press it gently and until a click is familiar to us.
- When you hear a click, release the holder so that it can automatically pull the tray out of the slot.
- When the SIM card tray has appeared completely, it's time to remove the SIM card from it.
- Now you can insert another card into the slot and put the phone back together.
As you can see, MicroSIM is no more difficult to handle than the most ordinary SIM - there was nothing to be afraid of!
Most manufacturers of modern phones are gradually abandoning SIM cards of the old Mini-SIM format. They are being replaced by compact Micro- and Nano-SIMs. This approach reduces the size mobile devices and make them more user-friendly. In this aspect, Samsung did not invent anything new and equipped its Galaxy smartphone A5 Nano SIM card slot. And if you decide to purchase this device to replace an outdated mobile phone, be prepared for the fact that you will have to cut the card you have on hand. Let's figure out how to correctly insert a SIM card into the Samsung Galaxy A5.
Specific features of the SIM slot in the Galaxy A5
To date, there are several modifications Samsung smartphones Galaxy A5. They differ from each other not only technical specifications, but also the location of the SIM card slot and its capabilities:
- Galaxy A5 phones released before the beginning of 2016 have two connectors. The first is for installing Nano-SIM. The card placed in it will be defined by the system as the main one. The second tray is hybrid, that is, you can insert either a second SIM card into it, or expand the memory using Micro SD. Both card readers are located on the right side of the mobile phone.
- Gadgets of the 2016 model have one hybrid connector located on the right side of the device under the Power key. As in the first case, you can install two Nano-Sim or SIM + Micro SD into it.
- New modifications, which were released in 2017, are equipped with two slots. The first (main), located on the left side of the Samsung, accepts Nano cards. The second tray is located on the upper end and is complex. Thanks to this approach, it will be possible to simultaneously place two SIM cards and Micro SD memory in the phone.
In all Galaxy modifications A5 connectors are opened using a metal ejector supplied with the device. However, in its absence, you can use an ordinary brace, after unbending one of its ends, or with a needle.
Cutting SIM-card for Samsung Galaxy A5
If you have a SIM card in your hands Mini standard or Micro, before installation it will need to be cut to Nano format. Here you need to choose one of three options:
If the third option was chosen, you will need the following tools and materials to complete your plan:
- b/w or color printer;
- sharp knife or scissors;
- sandpaper;
- A4 clean sheet;
- cutting template;
- adhesive tape or PVA glue.
The sequence of work will be as follows:
SIM-card can be inserted into the phone.
Inserting a SIM card into a smartphone seems to be a fairly simple action that does not require special skills, but not everyone can immediately figure out where the connector is located, what format card can be used and which side to insert it. In this short article, you can find answers to these questions, which probably torment some owners of the Samsung Galaxy A3.
Each modification of this model has a special holder for SIM cards, which can be removed using an ejector (clip) that comes with the smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy A3 2015 has two trays, and they are both on the right side panel, where, in fact, the power button is located. The lower one is intended exclusively for the main SIM card, and the upper one can be used for a second SIM card, or for a microSD card. Modifications 2016 and 2017 are equipped with one holder. The first has it in the same place as the A3 2015, and the second has it on the frame at the top. It can accommodate either two SIM cards, or a SIM card and a memory card. All three variants of the model are “sharpened” for working with nanoSIM. It is best to use a SIM card of this format, issued by the operator, and not cut off on your own.
How to insert a SIM card in Samsung Galaxy A3
- Gently insert the ejector into the hole in the holder and press lightly. If everything is done correctly, the tray should move out of the compartment.
- Grab the holder with your fingers and pull it out completely.
- Place a nanoSIM SIM card in it and insert it into the compartment. Be careful not to mix up the sides, otherwise you may damage the compartment or holder.
