Galaxy S25: 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.
Model id on file SM-S931B/DSsource
Configuration in the sources below
Dual-SIM mode. Samsung lists three ways to set two lines: two nano-SIMs, one nano-SIM and an eSIM, or two eSIMs.
Both lines active. Two lines can be configured. The source does not name DSDS or DSDA. Whether both stay active for calls depends on the software and the carrier.
Region can change the eSIM
Samsung says eSIM can be missing depending on the country the phone was sold in, the carrier, or the model, even when a series is listed. The tray count above is the page we cite. We do not invent a count for a country that page does not describe.
What this means in Greece and the EU
- On the configuration above, a physical nano-SIM can stay in the tray — a Cosmote, Vodafone or Nova number, for example — while a second line is an eSIM. Whether that carrier will install an eSIM, and whether a travel plan downloads, is not checked here.
- Samsung’s UK eSIM page lists COSMOTE, Vodafone and Nova among carriers. The same page says support still depends on the country the phone was sold in and on the carrier. The list is not a download test.
- 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.
