Why SIM Tray Fit Matters

A properly seated SIM tray is crucial for:

  • Stable cellular connectivity: Avoids dropped calls and network issues.

  • Data reliability: Ensures mobile internet works without interruptions.

  • Preventing physical damage: Misaligned trays can scratch internal connectors or warp the tray.

  • Smooth ejection and insertion: Prevents the tray from sticking or jamming.

Even small misalignments can cause your phone to display errors like “No SIM card detected” or “SIM card not recognized.”


Step 1: Power Off the Device

Before handling the SIM tray:

  1. Turn off your Galaxy S25 to prevent short circuits.

  2. Wait a few seconds to ensure the device is completely powered down.

Working with the tray while the phone is on may risk electrical damage or loss of unsaved data.


Step 2: Locate the SIM Tray

The Galaxy S25 SIM tray is typically located on the side of the device.

  1. Use the SIM ejector tool (included with your phone) or a small paperclip.

  2. Insert it into the small pinhole on the tray.

  3. Apply gentle, steady pressure until the tray pops out.

OnePlus Tip: Avoid using excessive force to prevent bending the tray or damaging the internal mechanism.


Step 3: Inspect the SIM Tray and Slot

Before inserting a SIM card:

  1. Check the tray for any dust, debris, or damage.

  2. Ensure the SIM card slot in the tray aligns perfectly with the phone’s connectors.

  3. The tray should sit flush with the phone body without gaps.

A clean and properly aligned tray ensures smooth operation and prevents future connection issues.


Step 4: Insert the SIM Card Correctly

  1. Place the SIM card in the tray, aligning the cut corner with the tray’s design.

  2. Make sure the card sits flat and snug in the tray.

  3. Do not force the SIM card if it doesn’t fit — double-check orientation.

Correct placement is critical to avoid the “SIM not detected” error and ensures proper network connectivity.


Step 5: Reinsert the SIM Tray

  1. Carefully slide the tray back into the SIM slot.

  2. Push it in gently until it is fully flush with the phone edge.

  3. Avoid applying excessive force, which can bend the tray or misalign connectors.

A properly seated tray should not wobble or feel loose, and the phone should detect the SIM card immediately when powered on.


Step 6: Test Cellular Connectivity

After reinserting the tray:

  1. Power on your Galaxy S25.

  2. Check signal bars and mobile network status.

  3. Make a test call or browse the internet to confirm proper functionality.

If the phone does not recognize the SIM, remove the tray and repeat the alignment and insertion steps carefully.


Step 7: Optional: Use Multiple SIM Cards

If you use multiple SIM cards:

  • Repeat the steps for each card to ensure consistent fit.

  • Avoid frequent swapping, as repeated insertion may loosen the tray over time.

OnePlus Tip: Use nano-SIM cards specifically designed for the Galaxy S25 to prevent damage.


Final Thoughts

Testing the SIM tray fit on your Samsung Galaxy S25 is a simple but essential maintenance step that prevents connectivity problems and physical damage. By carefully inspecting, inserting, and aligning the tray, you can ensure stable mobile performance and avoid unnecessary issues. OnePlus recommends performing this check whenever you change SIM cards or notice connectivity irregularities.
