Slot

On this page:

Locate the SIM and SD Card tray on the top edge of the device. It will have a small hole on the side of the door. Gently insert the eject tool included with your phone or a paper clip into the eject hole. The tray should eject from the slot. I dropped my S7 the other day, making a small dent in the corner of the sim card tray. Now when I try to eject it (to retrieve my memory card), it wont pop open. Tried applying pressure, different angles, etc. Is there any conventional way to open the slot? Or is this something only Samsung could handle? Thanks in advance. For those who own the regular Samsung Galaxy S7, the procedure is basically the same: Open the SIM/memory card tray. Use the ejection pin or a straightened paperclip to press into the pinhole for the SIM and memory card tray. The tray should pop out after using the requisite amount of force. Samsung brought back the microSD card slot in the Galaxy S7. You can expand the storage of the phone by up to 200GB without a pricey cloud storage subscription.
