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.
People getting upset because they know how this works. Well, there are others out there who don't and may find simple (to enthusiasts) videos like this helpful.
I bought a new S8 and I was afraid to push the ejection pin really hard, so I came here. I'm sure there are alot of ppl like me. After this video I got the confidence to push the pin down really hard and it popped open lol
I am seriously not an idiot but I found this very useful. This is the first phone I had where I could not open the back and this got me started quickly. Thank you !!!
Note that there is an "Eject Pin" included with the phone and attached to the outer cover of a small box that contains a Samsung Terms & Conditions booklet. I found it AFTER using a toothpick to accomplish opening the Sim/Memory tray!
EASY to follow instructions and THANK YOU for holding phone and tray in same position as we see. Made the SIM card exchange super simple and I had 100% confidence I was doing it correctly!!!!!!
Hey Tim, just want to say thank you! I know the Sim card question is rather basic,But it was nice to make sure that I was doing it properly while watching your video. Love this page is awesome! Great tips
I find this video helpful as I'm in the market to buy a new phone and I'll need to remove the sim card regularly. I wanted to make sure it wasn't stupidly difficult on the s8 and this video showed me everything I need to know!
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.
Hey Thanks! This video helped a lot. I was trying to pry open the back panel to get it in for several minutes. I had no idea I needed an ejector pin for this. I appreciate the help
I was too lazy to go through the manual so I searched up my questions, including where the SIM card slot is :) People, if you think you know all, at least don't shit on others who are helping Samsung users to get used to their phones
Thank you so much!!! Just installed my TMobile sim card into my phone. Had NO clue on how to do this. Was going to take it to the phone store. Your video saved me a trip.
THANK YOU!!!! I'm not a techie and little things like this frustrate the hell out of me as I know they do for pretty much everyone I know. Vids like this are a lifesaver!
Thank you man from Portland! I know this probably seems like a very duh action to most people, but I'm no techie and I'd rather be sure of where exactly to put it in, than to try myself and not be sure. Hope my comment makes sense, and thanks once again!!
@@Sam-mx2pi I've literally used a paper clip for this 7 plus times over the last two weeks because I was out of the country and had to switch back sim cards and am now adding memory card.
Can you give any advice for how to switch SIM cards to a new carrier's SIM w/out losing data? Any help will be appreciated. I still have and am using my 8+ that I bought in 2017. Thank you. And I'm glad, along with 2.4 million others that you made this video!
I was afraid to do this only because I didn't want to break the tray and I didn't want to lose my sim card!!! But I did it without messing up! Thank god!!!
Thanks for the video. My last galaxy was the 2 back when the sd card went in the back behind the battery. Just got the s8+ yesterday and was going crazy trying to doing where it goes. When I get home I gotta find my sd card
I didn't have this ejector pin but using a small pin needle that came in a mini driver set from a dollar store worked. I would be very gentle and careful not to damage the part.
Y'all are the real mvp, almost broke my phone I half trying to figure this out, till the last brain cell I have left on my brain told me to go to UA-cam.... lol 😄😄😄
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.

Couldn't find a Simcard inside my new Galaxy S8+ I got a month ago! Now, if I should buy one, which brand do you recommend? or it doesn't matter! thnx
People will complain about anything. Either way, thanks for the video. It really helped.
As a non-techie, I really appreciate it.

Right like why the fuck r they here lmao.
I write programs for a living, but I still looked this up, just to make sure.

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.
Instructions unclear. Penis stuck in card slot.
I know I needed it😏🙋♀️
Im gonna be honest, i was stumped when i couldnt figure out how to remove the back and the battery like you sued to have to do
I didn't. So thank you very much!!
Let's be honest somebody is gunna buy this phone and not understand where the SD card goes so this video will help them greatly
I left on S5, so yeah, I had no experience with a tray. Problem: T mobile sent the wrong size card and I didn't know any better.
Dan Jonesy exactly me
I bought it and didn't know. Never owned one before
Dan Jonesy haha i just buy last week and i really dont know where i have to keep memory card
That's why i search for this video
Dan Jonesy I was one of them 😭😭😭😭
I bought a new S8 and I was afraid to push the ejection pin really hard, so I came here. I'm sure there are alot of ppl like me. After this video I got the confidence to push the pin down really hard and it popped open lol
I think because of the water resistance seals, it requires more force than older phones. Just a guess.
I only got the confidence to push hard enough after reading your comment!yay!
Yep
Same with my s9+, I was so anxious bc it "didn't work properly" Haha turns out I had to press harder.
Thank you😂😊
Joshua Ferreira literally me rn
I am seriously not an idiot but I found this very useful. This is the first phone I had where I could not open the back and this got me started quickly. Thank you !!!
Watched youtube pry of the back on several. Needed the slot info, back stays on!!
Note that there is an "Eject Pin" included with the phone and attached to the outer cover of a small box that contains a Samsung Terms & Conditions booklet. I found it AFTER using a toothpick to accomplish opening the Sim/Memory tray!
Ha! Thanks! I definitely would have thrown that away. I just used a tiny screw driver head.
Jim Ford Darn T-mobile tech kept my eject pin 😕
Jim Ford mine won't open with s toothpick
THANK YOU!!!! I was literally swearing at the box asking it all sorts of questions there was no way it could answer even if it could speak! Lifesaver.
Wet Dirt I use my girls earrings 😆
much appreciated, i almost tried to pry the side of the dam phone to look for the sim card
😮
Watched pry off the back on several. Needed the slot, back stays on!!
Frrr
@@ijnet9247 11q
i had to check the back (and because i had a case i was like "wait who are you???")

I'm a techie and I still didn't figure it out so thank you very much
then you're not a techie, moron, it's been around for years now
and have you heard of reading instructions??
Raoul Ramsaran Lool so why are you on this video??
@@nickyt4391 because I'm looking at random s8 videos and for some reason i thought this wouldn't be as stupid as the title implies

Thanks so much for this video. Just managed to open my sim card tray for the first time. Had to ask others to help me in the past.
Excellent video, thanks!
thanks, been on a note 4 for too long this really helped :)

OMG thank you! I had literally no idea how to do it.
😄
I had an idea how to do this , but like so many electronic things , I need confirmation before I f&^# it up. Thank you for the video.
Thanks Tim! I just added a 128g card. Thanks for the help!
I used a paperclip to pop the tray out FYI.
is this dual sim s8?
Oh man that was so easy to understand!! Thank you so much for this!!!!
Droid life...thanks for the i fo. just got my case and sd card, much appreciate.
This is EXACTLY what I needed.
Thanks for this upload, I start to get little bit shaky when it comes to putting the sim card into the tray. 😂
Thank you so much, I love old tech and sometimes the "new" ones are a bit unknown to me ; cheers and love from France !
I forgot exactly how to do it, turns out I was trying to get the wrong tray out and I wasnt using enough pressure. Thankfully this video saved me lol
This was a very helpful S8/S8+ SIM and SD Card Insert video.
Great job Droid Life and thanks for your help.
For me,I just wanted to know that the S8 support SD and this video was helpful.
"You'll need a tool like this." It's called a paper clip.
Wow, thanks. I might give that a try
nope. too big of a diameter.
@@Sam-mx2pi I've literally used a paper clip for this 7 plus times over the last two weeks because I was out of the country and had to switch back sim cards and am now adding memory card.
@@928dawson6 Oh wow! Ok! Was it a big paper clip or one of the smaller silver ones?

great video thank youuuu I thought the sd card was with the battery im glad I found this video
Thank you so much for doing this video! Even though I have an s8+, my tech knowledge is pretty poor. Looking forward to watching more of your vids!
This was exactly what I needed. Thanks
Thanks because I had no idea. Didnt think i would run out of space. I was like oh thats what the little metal tool is for! Glad I kept it lol
I was afraid to do this only because I didn't want to break the tray and I didn't want to lose my sim card!!! But I did it without messing up! Thank god!!!
Hey, Tim. Thanks for the refresher course. 😊
Thanks Tim, awesome to make sure it was being properly, a big tick from me
Oml thank you so much this actually helped me it poped out and I have a then q so I was terrified
Thanks for the tutorial Bruv. I'm going to insert my 256gb sd card into my Samsung Galaxy S8 probably tomorrow. I hope I dont break it.
Thanks for the video. My last galaxy was the 2 back when the sd card went in the back behind the battery. Just got the s8+ yesterday and was going crazy trying to doing where it goes. When I get home I gotta find my sd card
Thank you for your video. Very helpful to me. I appreciate the time you took to do this film.
Where the hell do you get that pin?
Thanks for the video couldn't for the life of me figure out where my tray was
Thank you I just got an s8 today and this was helpful I never had a trayike this it's weird. It thanks for ur help 🙂🙂
Helpful video, but holy god those hand movements in the first minute on the left were distracting.
Had phone for 2 years,, had no idea where the hell the simcard was. cheers
IM really glad that they made back SD Card slots!! That non SD Card slot was bullshit af...
This video just helped me a lot. Thanks
Tks bud, do you know the read/write speed for the micro sd slot? what is the fastest SD card to be use on the S8? Class 10? or UHS?
Well, I didn't get an ejector pin so it looks like the stretched out paperclip is my go-to tool!
DID IT WORK BC I DON'T HAVE ONE TOO lmao 😂 and i'm scared i'll mess it up
Paper clip may be too big but an earring or a blunt pin (like you put on a backpack, etc) may work better
Thanks! Super easy. Don't even need to turn off the phone 😁
Thanks. Helpful Video. 👍
Now I'm going to put an SD card myself.
Thank you.That is well explained.Good work.
thanks. I didnt have a pen to pop out the sim card and sd reader but a woman used her ear ring and it worked!
Man what a time to be alive such good phone I have the Note 20 honestly wouldn't to the S8 or Note 9
Excellent and informative video, very well presented and explained.
I used my sisters earrings to pop it out
Thank you for the idea 😂😂
Great tip, that worked, thank you so much!
I didn't have this ejector pin but using a small pin needle that came in a mini driver set from a dollar store worked. I would be very gentle and careful not to damage the part.
Y'all are the real mvp, almost broke my phone I half trying to figure this out, till the last brain cell I have left on my brain told me to go to UA-cam.... lol 😄😄😄
I didn't know how to do this neither did 100s of thousands of others lol so it's not a pointless video. If you knew, good for you
Does it come with an sd card already included?
Can you do this while the phone is off? Thanks 🙏
Thanks for the video! Clear and to the point.
Can I use the SD card slot for another SIM card? And if yes, how do I select which SIM card to use on the phone?
Thinking of upgrading from a S5 YES or NO ?
Very informative and well explained, thank you 👍
Thanks for posting these instructs
how to safely unmount sd card on s8? i cannot find an option to do so
Turn off phone then do this
Your awesome. Thanks for the video. Just what I needed
Cheers man, exactly what I needed to know!
Btw guys earring backs work to open sim trays if you don't have the SIM card tool!
What do you do if sim card is too big for the tray? Is there a different way to put it in?
If you don't have the tool can you use something else?
Good video for the ones that dont know this👍
do you need to have both the SIM and SD card ?
Thank you so much for this!
Does it have to use two sim cards to work?
I don't have both will it still work
Is it suppose to be phone on or off ? I am just confused I wanna take it out and as I have problem with A 50 insert it in this phone . Thanks
Just what I needed to know. Thanks
did you "unmount" the sd card? if not how do i get that notification to go away?
im inserting the pin but the tray won't release. should i be applying some force to it?
Thank you so much! God Bless Even More ✌
Does this also work for the galaxy s8 active
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?)
How do you get that small white vertical bar removed on the right side?
OMG! how come it stared erasing when I inserted my new sim card? is this normal ? I don't see yours not showing erasing?
sir is the sim slot is metallic or plastic like s7 ?
Will a safety pin work?
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?
Damn! And here I was trying to do that with a screwdriver and a hammer. Thanks a lot!
Oww! I didn't know that. Where did you find it?
Still work on S8+ with Android 9 pie?
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.
