A main element that we all have to use in our mobile is the card tray, where we have to place the SIM and MicroSD . Although this space can lead to errors and problems if we do not manage to place them correctly. Sometimes it can be more complicated than we thought at a time and make us hesitate to use it, something that we want to clarify for you.
Unfortunately, not all brands or models use the same method to clarify it, if they do. However, in all of them there is a very useful and simple method that will help us to identify where we have to put the SIM and the MicroSD card correctly , taking into account a basic aspect. Anyway, we want to clarify that there is no problem for entering these two cards incorrectly, although we will not be able to use them and the mobile will give us an error to notify us.
Measurements and shape hold the key
All mobiles that have the option of using any of the MicroSD cards available for mobiles also allow us to use at least one SIM, therefore the tray will be more extended. In the smallest space there will always be the SIM card, whether it is MicroSIM or NanoSIM . The next space that we find is the one that will be designed for the MicroSD card.
The size of MicroSD cards has not changed for years and that makes them easily recognizable by having a rectangular format with a flap at the top . But also some mobiles add the possibility of using that same tray as an alternative or secondary SIM . Sometimes it is identified on the tray and in other cases we can see it for ourselves because it needs a larger edge in a vertical position if we look at it from the front.
It is always convenient to look at whether there is any type of graphics on the tray for the mobile cards, as this will make us not depend on the sizes. Anyway, you already know the shape of each one of them. We also add that in some cases the card must be face down to work, but it can always be used only in one orientation due to the design of the tray.
The special trays in Huawei mobiles
The Chinese company not only stands out for its disputes with the United States, it has also long been opting for NM Cards as its own alternative. This caused a change in the mobile trays and therefore the previous explanation can be used as a technique but it is not very practical.
In Huawei and Honor mobiles, the tray cannot be differentiated by size , since the NM Cards are practically the same as the NanoSIMs. In this case we have to look at the graphics that are always included, taking into account that you have to turn the tray to use a SIM and MicroSD at the same time due to its small size.
