Insert and remove SIM and SD cards

About the SD card

Your phone supports a microSD card up to 512 GB.
The type to buy depends on how you'll format the card:
If the card is for portable storage (different devices can use card), a Class 2, 4, or 6 card is sufficient.
If the card is for internal storage (used by phone only), use a high speed card such as UHS-1 type for best
performance. Don’t use Class 2, 4, or 6 cards, which are much slower than your phone’s internal storage.
Learn more about storage formats.

What's new in Android 10?

Volume controls

Adjust any volume without leaving the screen you’re on. After you press a Volume button and touch the icon, all volume sliders appear on the screen. Learn more.

Navigation

Three and icons.

A navigation bar and back icon.
Learn more about each option and gestures.
Peeking: For apps that have a sidebar, you can open the sidebar with a gesture. Touch & hold your finger on the very edge of your screen for a second, until you see the bar peeking in from the side, then swipe to open the
sidebar.

System-wide dark mode

Give your eyes (and battery) a break with the new system-wide dark mode:
Easily turn Dark theme on/off by adding it to quick settings.
If this isn’t your default mode and you're low on charge, Battery Saver starts Dark theme and stops it
automatically when the phone has charged.

Notification improvements

17
Automatically organize and minimize distraction, with improved notification management:
Be notified by the things that matter most. You can categorize notifications as Silent or Alerting. Silent
notifications are grouped together; you can dismiss them individually or as a group.
All notifications now include suggested actions. For example, if a friend sends an address, you’ll see a
suggestion to open the address in Maps.
Added predictive responses based on the context of the message received.
Extended predictive responses to any messaging app (including WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger).
Notification snoozing is optional but disabled by default.
Media notifications have a progress bar.

Easy Wi-Fi connection with QR codes

To connect to a new Wi-Fi network, you can now scan a QR code instead of typing the password. You can also help others connect to a network you're on by sharing a QR code.
To share your hotspot, your phone can generate a QR code your friends can scan to connect instantly. No need to give them your phone’s hotspot name and password (but you can still use that method, too). Learn more.

Security enhancements

Privacy
Settings now includes a Privacy menu, with more permissions to preserve privacy. Easily see and adjust
which apps have access to your phone data and features, like which apps can use the camera or microphone.
Better controls for file management allow you to restrict access to tracking identifiers, such as IMEI, serial
number, and other IDs.
Location
Settings now includes a Location menu, with better control over location data and sharing. Learn more.
When apps request permission to your location, you’ll see a pop-up where you can control when the app
accesses your location (never, only when app is open, or always).
Learn the basics 18
If you've set an app to always be able to access your location, you'll see a pop-up when it accesses your
location in the background.
Project Mainline
Works in the background to provide faster security updates through Play Store.

Other improvements

App info page: View the number of notifications an app sends and the amount of mobile data and Wi-Fi it
used. You can also open the app from the info page.
Bluetooth: For convenience, you can now access previously-connected Bluetooth devices right on the main
Connected devices screen.
Display settings: Sleep is now Screen timeout.
Power button menu: Now includes an Emergency option that opens your emergency information.
Share options: When you touch to share content, the options load instantly and recommend frequently used apps and recipients. Better security allows you to choose files to share, without sharing all files.
Learn the basics : New to Android?

If this is your first smartphone

Learn the basics
To get around your phone, here are the key concepts.
You can choose how you move between apps and screens: a navigation bar or icons.
In addition to touching the screen to select items, you can use other gestures, such as pinch to zoom.
The icons at the top of your home screen tell you important stuff at a glance, like your phone’s battery level
and network connection, and whether you’ve missed a call.
Your phone and apps send you notifications for things like new messages, calendar events, and upcoming
alarms. You’ll find notifications in several places, and can do a lot with them.
To learn about these common tasks, touch one below:
Answer a call.
19
Make a call.
Set an alarm.
Turn the flashlight on/off.
Listen to music.
Get apps
Your phone comes with many fun and useful apps, but you can really unlock its power by installing apps that suit your lifestyle. Go to Play Store to explore free and paid apps that help you be more productive, organized, informed, in touch, and entertained.
Protect your phone

If you had an iPhone

Welcome to Android! Here are some differences between your old iPhone and your new phone.
Your assistant: You've retired Siri. Now, find info and get things done with Google Assistant. Just set up “OK, Google”. Then ask for info or help with everyday tasks.
Apps:
Goodbye Apple App Store, hello Google Play Store. Play Store is now your default app store. Apps aren't
compatible between iPhone and Android. However, many developers make iPhone and Android versions of their apps; if the app stores your data online, then you can switch with little effort. Just download the Android version from Play Store and log in.
Keep on making video calls. Use the Duo app to make video calls with friends who have iPhones or Android
phones.
Continue listening to podcasts. You can listen with the Play Music app. Or, there are lots of podcast apps on
Play Store - search for “podcast” in Play Store and download one of your choice.
Learn the basics : New to Android?
Install apps remotely. On a computer, visit play.google.com. Browse apps on the bigger screen and then install
them on your phone from your computer.
Your home screen:
On your old iPhone, your home screen was far left. Now, you start with one home screen and can add more
pages to the right as needed.
Your old phone showed all apps on your home screen. With your new phone, you can put shortcuts to your
most important apps on your home screen for easy access. Or, find your full list by swiping up from your
favorites tray. This frees up room on your home screen for widgets, making your new home much more lively.
In addition to apps, Android has widgets that stream information to you. For example, widgets can provide
weather updates or upcoming calendar events.
Like your old iPhone, you'll see notifications at the top of the screen, which you can swipe down to review. But
on your new phone, you can swipe them left or right to dismiss them.
Quick access to settings: On your old iPhone, to adjust settings you opened a Settings app. You can still do that. But now you've also got quick settings. Swipe down from the top of the screen for easy access to toggles for
airplane mode, Wi-Fi, and other frequently-used settings.
In the cloud: Your Google account is your key to cloud storage with Google. If you migrated your contacts to your phone, then you can see them from any device or computer by logging into Gmail. Your Google account includes apps like Calendar and Drive that let you work well with others. And it has apps that let you play too - access your photos, videos, music from any device when you log in with your Google account. Use Play Music to upload your iTunes library.

Benefits of your account
When you set up your phone, you added a Google account. If you haven't had a Google account before, this is more than just a password you set up for your phone.
A Google account lets you organize and access your personal information and files from any computer or mobile device:
Synchronize everything. Never lose your contacts. Associate them with your Google account if you create
them on your phone, and view them from Gmail on any computer or by signing into your Google account on any phone. Create emails or calendar events on your phone and view them on any computer. Access your
browser bookmarks from any device.
Store in the cloud. Upload your photos, videos, and music to the cloud; get to all of it without taking up space
on your phone.
Keep your stuff secure. Your account password secures it all and lets you access it from anywhere.
Maintaining your account
Other than remembering your password, you don’t need to do much maintenance on your Google account - just enjoy the benefits of your secure, synchronized information. However, you can:
Control how frequently your phone syncs your information.
Review and manage the information Google collects from you, such as search and browsing history.

About text and multimedia messages

Text messages - SMS
SMS (Short Message Service) messages contain text only. One text message can contain 160 characters; when you near the limit, a counter appears. If you type more, your message is sent in a series of SMS messages.
You can send one SMS message to multiple people, and replies are delivered in separate, not group, conversation threads (unless you and your recipients have group messaging enabled).
SMS messages are included in most carriers' text messaging plans and do not use cellular data.
Multimedia messages - MMS
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) messages can include unlimited text plus a photo, picture slideshow, video, or sound file.
You can send one MMS message to multiple people using group messaging, containing text only or text and media, and replies are delivered in group conversation threads to each person in the group.
MMS messages use cellular data and require a cellular data plan or pay-per-use payment.
Group messaging
Group messaging lets multiple people carry on a group conversation. All replies from recipients are delivered to all recipients, in a group conversation thread.
Though you send one message to multiple recipients, you are charged for each message received. Group messaging:
Converts multiple-recipient SMS messages to MMS for all who can receive them
Is available for MMS messages only
Note: Recipients who cannot receive MMS messages receive SMS instead and, if media is attached, a link to download it over Wi-Fi (when offered by carrier). Replies are to the sender only, in an individual conversation.
If you don’t want to receive replies in group conversations, you can turn off group messaging in the Messages app.
