INSERT THE SIM AND MEMORY CARDS
Insert the SIM card
1. Open the SIM card tray: push the tray opener pin in the tray hole and slide the tray out.
2. If you have a single-SIM phone, put a nano-SIM card in slot 1 and a memory card in slot 2

card in slot 1 and either a second SIM or a memory card in slot 2 with the contact areas face
down.
3. Slide the tray back in.
Use only original nano-SIM cards. Use of incompatible SIM cards may damage the card or the
device, and may corrupt data stored on the card.
Use only compatible memory cards approved for use with this device. Incompatible cards may
damage the card and the device and corrupt data stored on the card.
Important: 5G may not be available when two SIM cards are inserted in your phone. If you
have two SIM cards inserted, both SIM cards support 4G/3G/2G. Download the software
update when available to enable 5G/4G/3G/2G support for SIM1 and 4G/3G/2G support for
SIM2 when two SIM cards are inserted.
Important: Do not remove the memory card when an app is using it. Doing so may damage
the memory card and the device and corrupt data stored on the card.

1. Tap Settings > System > Backup .

DUAL SIM SETTINGS
If you have a dual-SIM phone, you can have 2 SIMs in your phone, for example, one for work and

corresponding SIM 1 or SIM 2 button after you dial the number.

example, making a call, the other may be unavailable.
Manage your SIMs
Don’t want work to interfere with your free time? Or do you have a cheaper data connection on
one SIM? You can decide which SIM you want to use.
