Dual eSIM functionality: Is the Samsung Galaxy S24 Worth the Hype? 


The Samsung Galaxy S24 series has stepped into a new era of connectivity by introducing a groundbreaking feature – dual eSIM functionality. While Samsung eSIM supported devices are not a novelty thing, the Galaxy S24 series marks the first time Samsung is embracing dual-eSIM, positioning it as the first non-Pixel Android phone to offer such functionality.



Samsung Galaxy S24 with eSIM functionality


Traditionally, Samsung allowed only one active eSIM at a time, necessitating the use of a physical SIM card for dual SIM functionality. With the introduction of dual eSIM support in the Galaxy S24, Samsung aligns itself with Apple, which introduced dual eSIMs with the iPhone 13, and Pixel phones that adopted this feature in the Pixel 7 and Pixel 8. This move is expected to drive a surge in eSIM adoption across Android devices.


Introducing eSIM Technology


Before we go further into the revolutionary features of the Samsung Galaxy S24 series, let's acquaint ourselves with the concept of an eSIM. An eSIM, or embedded SIM, is a digital SIM card seamlessly integrated into a device, rendering the need for a physical SIM card obsolete. Functioning similarly to its physical counterpart, an eSIM allows users to switch between mobile carriers and plans without the hassle of swapping out physical cards. This digital evolution in SIM technology not only streamlines the user experience but also opens doors to enhanced flexibility and convenience for mobile users. Now armed with this understanding, let's explore how Samsung's latest flagship is making waves with its dual eSIM support.


What are the Benefits of Dual eSIM Support for Users?


The inclusion of dual eSIM support translates to the ability to have two active eSIMs simultaneously on your Galaxy S24 device. For users already employing an eSIM for their primary line, this advancement opens the door to using a travel eSIM for upcoming trips without turning off the primary line. It provides users with increased flexibility to stay connected seamlessly during their travels.


Notably, Samsung has retained physical SIM trays, allowing users who are not ready to fully transition to eSIMs to continue using nano-SIM cards alongside the new dual eSIM functionality.


Other Exciting Upgrades in the Samsung S24


  • Galaxy AI: A Star Feature

The Galaxy AI takes the spotlight with its reliance on on-device AI and cloud-based AI to deliver innovative features:


  • Live Translate: Real-time translation for calls and messages, particularly useful for communication in foreign destinations.

  • Transcript Assist: Create voice notes with AI transcription, summarization, and translation capabilities.

  • Chat Assist: Adjusts the tone of messages for appropriateness in different contexts.

  • Circle to Search: Enables easy triggering of a Google Search by circling, highlighting, scribbling, or tapping on anything on the screen.

  • The Galaxy AI extends its capabilities to AI-powered photo editing, allowing users to enhance their photos for social media posts.

  • Enhanced Camera Capabilities

While the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra was renowned for its concert camera, the S24 Ultra takes it a step further with a Quad-telephoto system offering optical zoom up to 5x (compared to the S23 Ultra's 10x). The Adaptive Pixel Sensor enhances 2x and 10x optical quality zoom.



  • Performance and Battery Life

Unlike the S23 series, which exclusively used Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor, the S24 series sees the return of Samsung's in-house Exynos chips for most countries, with exceptions for Canada, China, and the US using the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 For Galaxy processor. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 promises increased battery efficiency.
