    Is Samsung Galaxy Grand prime waterproof?

    The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water. Is dustproof and water-resistant: is this important to you?

    What kind of SIM card does a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime use?
    kenton
    over 1 year ago
    If you have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime, you'll need a micro SIM card. This is the middle-sized SIM card, not quite as big as the standard SIM, but larger than the nano. Not every Samsung Galaxy phone uses a micro SIM card, in fact, some use a nano SIM and others still use the standard SIM size.
