How to Open SIM Slot in OnePlus: A Step-by-Step Guide for Indian Gamers
If you’re an Indian gamer with a OnePlus smartphone and need to access the SIM slot for dual SIM cards, microSD storage, or troubleshooting signal issues, follow this simple guide. Here’s how to open the SIM slot safely and correctly:
1. Understand Your OnePlus Model
Most recent OnePlus phones (e.g., OnePlus 10, 11, 9, 8) use a removable SIM tray under the back cover. Newer models like the OnePlus 12 may have a non-removable tray (requires a service center). Confirm your model first.
2. Gather Tools
You’ll need:
A plastic card (like a credit card or a SIM ejector tool).
A toothpick (optional, for tight slots).
Patience (avoid forcing it!).
3. Locate the SIM Tray
OnePlus 10/11/9/8: Remove the back cover.
Dual SIM models: The tray is under the SIM and eSIM slot (left side).
Single SIM models: The tray is on the right side.
OnePlus 7/8T: The tray is on the left side of the back panel.
4. Open the SIM Tray
Insert the plastic card into the gap between the SIM slot and the back cover.
Gently push the card upward (not downward) to pop the tray.
For stubborn trays, use a toothpick to gently撬起卡槽边缘.

Remove the tray carefully.
⚠️ Caution: Avoid bending the tray or damaging the SIM contacts.
5. Insert SIM Cards
Dual SIM users:
Place the Nano-SIM in the left slot (eSIM compatible models).
Insert the Nano-SIM or Nano-Micro SIM in the right slot.
MicroSD card: Insert it into the dedicated slot (if available).
6. Reattach the Tray
Align the tray with the SIM slot and press firmly until it clicks into place.
Troubleshooting Tips
No signal after insertion? Reboot the phone or realign the SIM cards.
Tray stuck? Clean the contacts with a soft cloth or rice (to remove moisture).
Non-removable tray? Visit a OnePlus service center in India (e.g., Reliance Digital, Croma).
Why This Matters for Indian Gamers
Dual SIM: Ideal for gaming on multiple networks or using Jio, Airtel, or Vodafone.
MicroSD: Expand storage for large game files (e.g., PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty).
Signal Stability: Ensure smooth gameplay in areas with poor network coverage.
Final Notes
If you’re unsure, refer to your phone’s manual or watch tutorials on YouTube. For Indian users, platforms like YouTube India or Reddit’s r/OnePlus have localized guides. Always prioritize safety to avoid damaging your device!
Happy gaming! 🎮✨
