I have just bought an unlocked Galaxy A51 to replace my old Galaxy Grand Prime.  I have not decided whether to stay with my current provider (Telus)  so don't have a nano sim yet.  The Grand Prime uses a micro sim so no good with the A51.  My problem is that I would like to set up the phone using my home wifi  but I can't access anything until I install the new nano sim.  

Is it possible to bypass the need for a sim and continue with the setup?

Follow-up to my phone set-up.  Prior to reaching out to the Community for help I had emailed Samsung support for a solution to my problem.  The day after you 'solved' the problem I heard back from Support that there is no way to by-pass the need for a sim to enter set-up.  That amused me.

However - when I did install the new sim a few days later the installation managed to restore my phone to factory!!!  Not so amused but at least I already learnt a lot about how it worked.

Yea, install new SIM may cause factory reset. I've heard that from community posts.
