How to insert a SIM and microSD card in the Samsung Galaxy Note 7

Have you just got the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and can’t work out where the SIM and microSD cards go? Maybe you need to take either out as you’re selling your phone or want to transfer media to your computer? If you’re in a muddle, fear not as our quick and easy guide will talk you through everything you need to know.

For both of these guides, you’ll need the SIM removal tool that came in the box with your phone. If you can’t find this, you can try a pin or earring but unlike other phones, a toothpick will probably be too thick. Once you’ve got that in hand, here’s what you do.
