Yes, the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge both come with a Micro SD card slot!<\/strong><\/p>\n

That allows you to augment the phone’s on-board storage with up to 200GB of additional space, leaving plenty of room for apps, videos, games and photos. You can pick up a Micro SD card here:<\/p>\n

\"samsung-galaxy-s\"A potted history of Galaxy S storage<\/h3>\n

The very first Galaxy S phone came with a micro SD slot, which was a standard feature at the time among Android smartphones. The feature was retained all the way until the Galaxy S6,\u00a0which traded the characteristic\u00a0plastic back for\u00a0a metal unibody.<\/p>\n

However, a significant backlash from fans prompted Samsung to add the feature back in for the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, via a combined Micro SD and SIM slot at the top of the phone.<\/p>\n

It’s even possible (with some clever hacking<\/a>) to have both two SIM cards and a micro SD card installed at once… but we don’t recommend it, unless you’re willing to take some liberties with your phone’s warranty.<\/p>\n

\"600x600\"<\/a>Which Micro SD card should I use?<\/h3>\n

We’ve recommended some of our favourite Micro SD cards for the Galaxy S7<\/a> and S7 Edge. Spoiler alert: our absolute favourite is the Samsung 128GB Evo+<\/a>, which offers a\u00a0nice tradeoff between performance, capacity and value.<\/p>\n

Wrap-up<\/h3>\n

Hopefully we’ve answered your questions. Let us know if there’s anything we can clarify further in the comments below!<\/p>\n\n\n
