How to Insert a SIM Card into Xiaomi

The now popular Chinese company Xiaomi has released several lines of phones, including such popular models as Xiaomi Redmi 4A, Xiaomi Redmi 3s, Xiaomi Redmi 4 Pro, as well as many others.

Common to these models is that the SIM card can be inserted in a completely identical way. How to insert a SIM card in Xiaomi Redmi 4 (and in many other models, for example, Xiaomi Redmi 4A). This is our today’s article.

To perform this operation, you will need the Xiaomi smartphone itself plus a clip to open the tray, which already comes with the kit in a box with the phone. The tray itself is located on the left side of the device, and you can also insert a microSD flash drive there instead of a second SIM card.

Sequencing

• Insert a paper clip into a small hole on the tray;
• Press until it clicks, remove the inserted paper clip;
• We take out the tray from the phone.

Here you will see two places at once. For nano and micro SIM cards (in Redmi 3), and a hybrid tray in Redmi 3 Pro, 3X and 3S (you can insert a memory card instead of the second SIM card).

You need to install cards in the necessary connectors, then carefully insert the tray back into the smartphone. If everything is done correctly, you will hear a click and you will feel that the tray is aligned with the phone case.

How to insert a memory card

Anyone who has repeatedly put SIM cards in their Xiaomi knows that not only they are inserted there. The card in Xiaomi Redmi 4, as always, can accommodate another. Micro SD, which serves as an internal drive. On it you can store pictures, photos, music,s, install applications and much more. You can do without a flash drive, but the built-in memory is not always enough, so users have to choose either two mobile numbers or extra space for files.

To install a memory card, you must perform almost the same steps as in the previous paragraph. Insert a paper clip into the hole on the SIM tray, click until it clicks, pull out the tray and insert a SIM card in the first slot, and an SD memory card in the second slot.

Simultaneous placement of two cards and an SD drive

Yes, yes, there is such a way, but we consider it our duty to warn you: any actions are performed at your own peril and risk, they can harm your smartphone. If you want the Xiaomi smartphone to simultaneously serve both for two phone numbers, and for a large number of personal files and programs, follow the instructions below.

To do this, you need to warm up the SIM card under the lighter for 15-20 seconds, and then carefully remove the electronic chip itself from the plastic shell and insert it, as well as the SD memory card into a special slot in the tray. But do this in such a way that the golden contacts do not overlap each other, but can be recognized and separated by the smartphone as separate. After that, insert the tray into the Xiaomi Redmi 4 Pro, as usual, and check that this method works by turning on the gadget. With a high degree of probability the phone will see both SIM cards and a memory card at the same time, however we do not guarantee the absence of malfunctions in the device.

In any case, we advise you to be careful and not to risk the integrity and security of your gadget once again. It is better to choose one of two real options than to regret your inventiveness over a broken phone.
