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

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.

restore your app settings and Wi-Fi passwords.

1. Tap Settings > System > Backup .

2. Switch Backup to Google Drive to On .

DUAL SIM SETTINGS

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

work and one for your personal use.

Choose which SIM to use

When, for example, making a call, you can choose which SIM to use by tapping the

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

Your phone shows the network status for both SIMs separately. Both SIM cards are available

at the same time when the device is not being used, but while one SIM card is active, when, for

example, making a call, the other may be unavailable.

one SIM? You can decide which SIM you want to use.

Tap Settings > Network & Internet > SIM Cards .
