    We get it, some of you take the world too seriously. But some people don't know everything. In fact, over a million people watched our Galaxy S7 SIM card video. Lots of people aren't techie and need help. This is a beginners' guide type of video. Just ignore it if you already know this stuff. Thanks.

      i've never inserted an sd card in to a phone. this video probably prevented me from mis-aligning the card and shoving the tray in too hard.

    A couple of months ago, I decided to take the road to a more techno world... I decided to stop using my "music book"... it was becoming big and heavy to carry...! I bought a Samsung Tab and the guy at store told me about using a micro SD card...! He showed me where I could put the device...! And now, I'm glad that I will be able to put one in the S8 of my wife so she could transfer pictures and other things on the card and give her ore free space...! I learned, with your video, where it will go...! Easy for some people but... let's think about oldies people like me... we need help and I thank you for the time you put on this video.

    I'm actually a complete noob to this. I have an S8 and shoot a lot of video, so I think more memory would be a good thing. I'vve never modified a phone. Do I have to have a sim card (or should there already be one in it?)

    I am slightly confused. on my galaxy s7 edge I used a micro sd card, but with my s8 the tray is much larger than the micro sd. yet if I Google it Verizon says I can use a micro sd but it is too small in comparison than the slot available for the sd card. is it wrong and I am supposed to use a regular sized sd card and not micro for the s8?

    I found that if you don't put the tray on a flat surface and press the SD card into the opening, you won't be able to insert the tray. The SD card makes an audible "click" when it is seated properly.
