    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.

      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

      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.

    When you order the phone does it come with one of those keys to open the tray or will you need to buy it to open it to add an ad card?

    Do you recommend using Samsung sd card or any?. I like to use Sandisk, do you think it will still work and not damage my phone?

      Stick with SanDisk extreme pro A2 Class 10, Samsung is still trying to catch up... I just brought a 256gb extreme pro for my S8, cost me an arm and a leg but hey, I wont be complaining about space and speed for a long while...
