Unboxing and assembling your Samsung Galaxy S7 & S7 Edge

So you've opened the box and taken out your Samsung Galaxy S7 for the first time, but what now? Well, it's now time to get your new mobile phone up and running, personalising it in the process. Before we begin putting the pieces together, let's make sure you have everything you need.

Inside the box* you should find:

• 1 x Samsung Galaxy S7
• 1 x Mains power adaptor
• 1 x USB lead
• 1 x In-line earphones
• 1 x Information pack
• 1 x USB/Micro USB adapter
• 1 x SIM tray tool

*some box contents may vary
The S7 takes a nano-SIM card, which fits in to a small tray located on the top edge of the phone. As the phone doesn't have a removable back cover you will need the handy SIM tool, which looks like a paper clip and comes in the smartphone packaging. If you wish to expand the storage available by adding a memory card, you'll need to have that to hand as well.

Insert the SIM and memory cards

 

To insert the SIM, first locate the outline of the SIM tray on the top edge of the handset. You'll see there is a small hole at one end of it; Insert the pin on the supplied SIM tool into this hole and press against the spring to force the SIM tray to pop out.
The SIM tray holds both the SIM and memory cards. Place the nano-SIM into the smaller holder, which is located at the end of the tray that is inserted into the phone. Make sure that the card is placed with the contacts facing down, and the cut-off corner correctly orientated.

 The microSD card should then be placed into the larger holder, which sits nearest to the flanged end of the tray. This should be orientated so that the gold-coloured contacts are facing down, and the narrow end of the card is nearest the SIM card.

 With the cards installed into the tray, slide the SIM tray back in to the phone and press into place. You're now ready to turn on the phone and complete the setup wizard. Welcome to your new handset!
