Samsung developers made a serious mistake: you want to remove the SIM tray, but in fact you break the microphone

The fact that the Galaxy S21 comes with no charger is no surprise – the Korean company followed the path of Apple and its iPhone 12. But now, a closer look at the design and layout of the smartphone revealed another, potentially more serious problem. It turns out that it is very easy to damage the microphone when trying to reach the SIM card tray.

The fact is that this time the developers decided to place the SIM card slot on the bottom edge. It opens in the usual way – using the so-called “paper clip”. But the problem is that the holes of the microphone and the tray eject are the same size and are close to each other, it is easy to confuse and insert a “paper clip” into the microphone, thereby damaging it.

An inattentive user can easily “open” the microphone instead of the SIM slot 

In the factory film on the lid, it is even separately illustrated where you need to insert the “paper clip”, and where you do not need it. But, firstly, after the purchase, this instruction is quickly sent to the trash can, and secondly, due to inattention, after a certain time after use, a person may forget the instruction and easily try to open the microphone with a “clip”. In general, if the SIM card slot were at the top, such embarrassing situations would be easier to avoid. However, the Galaxy S21 has an eSIM, and that could be a lifesaver.
