Overview
What this part is
SIM trays on the Huawei P9 Lite are easy to lose when moving between phones, and they bend if pushed in the wrong way. A bent tray can jam in the slot or stop the SIM card making contact, which leads to a No SIM message.
This set is made to the P9 Lite's slot shape, so it sits flush with the frame. Fitting it needs only a SIM eject pin and no tools or heat. Pick the colour that matches your phone's frame.

How to check your model
Open Settings › About phone. The model name should read P9 Lite and the model number VNS-L21 or VNS-L31, not P9.
The P9 Lite has a single rear camera and a micro-USB port. The P9 has two rear cameras and USB-C.
Professional installation
How a technician fits this part
- Power the P9 Lite off.
- Push a SIM eject pin into the small hole beside the tray to release it.
- Remove the old tray and take out your SIM and memory cards.
- Place the cards in the new tray, gold contacts facing down, in the marked positions.
- Slide the tray back in the correct way round until it sits flush.
- Power on and check the phone reads the SIM and any memory card.
Check that the part matches the device before fitting it or removing any adhesive backing. Once a part has been fitted, it cannot be returned for a change of mind. Faulty parts are always covered.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my P9 Lite?
Yes, if Settings › About phone shows P9 Lite (model VNS-L21 or VNS-L31). It does not fit the P9.
Does it fit the P9?
No. The P9 is a different phone with different internal parts. Check Settings › About phone before ordering.
Does it hold two SIM cards or a memory card?
Yes. This set for the Huawei P9 Lite has one SIM card tray and a second tray that holds either another SIM or a micro SD card.
Is it made by Huawei?
No. It is a brand new, OEM-quality part made to fit the Huawei P9 Lite, and every part is tested before dispatch.
Should I fit it myself?
Yes, this is an easy fit. You only need a SIM eject pin, and the P9 Lite does not need to be opened.
