How a technician fits this part
- Power the phone off.
- Push a SIM eject pin into the small hole beside the tray to release any old tray.
- Place your cards in the new tray, gold contacts facing down.
- Slide the tray back in the same way round until it sits flush, then power on and check signal.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my Huawei Nova 8i?
Yes, if your device shows Huawei Nova 8i. It is made for model NEN-LX1. It does not fit the Nova 8, Nova 8 Pro, Nova 9 SE.
Does it fit the Nova 9 SE?
No. The Nova 9 SE uses a different tray. This tray is for the Nova 8i only.
What does the tray hold?
It holds your SIM cards as shown in the photos. Place each card with its gold contacts facing down.
Is it made by Huawei?
No. It is a brand new, OEM-quality sim card tray made to fit the Huawei Nova 8i, and every part is tested before dispatch.
Should I fit it myself?
This part is easy to fit with a SIM eject pin. Power the phone off first. If a bent tray is stuck in the slot, do not force it; a repair shop can remove it without damaging the reader, and we recommend professional installation in that case.
