Galaxy A16: eSIM and physical SIM
Can this phone use two lines, keep a home number while you travel, and take a physical SIM? What follows is copied from the maker’s pages. Where a page does not say, this page says unknown.

What this means in Greece and the EU
- Samsung’s UK list of Galaxy phones that support eSIM does not include this model. The same page says a listed phone can still lack eSIM depending on where it was sold.
- Carrier lock, VoLTE, and whether an eSIM profile downloads are out of scope here. This page is not a travel-eSIM shop.
How this page is made
- Tray count, eSIM and dual-SIM mode come from a hand-checked maker page, with the https address and the date we read it. We do not use a spec-site scrape.
- A blank in that file stays unknown. We do not turn a missing tray count into zero, and we do not turn a missing eSIM line into no.
- DSDS or DSDA is written only when the maker names it. Otherwise the page says two lines can be configured and that active behaviour depends on the software and the carrier.
- A regional difference is written only when the maker’s pages say the hardware differs, or when we have read only one spec and have not compared other model codes.
Still open: maker pages for the rest of the catalogue, and a sign-off before this preview is indexed. Carrier lock, VoLTE and eSIM download stay out of scope.
