It looks like a standard Micro SIM. It, in turn, must be carefully divided into Mini and Micro. The remaining pieces of plastic should not throw out. They will serve if the adapter from one format on the other.

Side outdoor slot with retractable tray

This option is found in the most modern models of tablets. We act just like in the case of a smartphone:

How to install a conventional SIM card in a micro-SIM and Nano-SIM slot

The universality of SIM-cards is that despite various parameters of the plastic shell, the geometric dimensions of the chip itself do not change. Therefore, fans of experiments with equipment, you can adjust the sizes under the requirements of the device slots yourself. For this, you will need conventional sharp scissors and stencils.

• It is better to find a stencil on the Internet or make yourself (rectangle 12 by 5 mm with a beveled edge).
• The circuit of the cut is placed with orientation.
• Extensively cuts off extra plastic.
• Since nano-sims are 15% thinner, the layer of plastic from the back side is polished by sandpaper.

SIM Card Views

Previously, practice was distributed when sims under the desired size users “customized” on their own, cutting off unnecessary plastic scissors. It was especially true when nano-sim cards were more expensive. Now it’s easier to order a card with factory pevering to eliminate the risk of chip damage.

In cases where a smaller chip is available, universal adapters that are sold separately.
