How.com.vn is a “wiki,” similar to Wikipedia, which means that many of our articles are co-written by multiple authors. To create this article, volunteer authors worked to edit and improve it over time.
To use your new smartphone, simply insert your SIM card, then turn the phone on by pressing and holding the power button on the right side of the phone until you feel it vibrate and the Samsung logo appears. The phone will then prompt you through the initial set-up. You can skip some of the steps and do them later if you prefer but doing them straight away makes it easier to start using your phone immediately and gives you greater functionality. For example, adding your Google account lets you access the Play Store, and adding a screen lock gives you greater security from the beginning.
Steps
Before You Turn the Phone On

- 2Take a look at the tray. The image below shows a dual SIM tray where you can use either two SIMs, or a single SIM and a memory (SD) card.
