Samsung does not use the widespread “hybrid slot” in the Galaxy A51. So you don't have to choose between two SIM cards or a memory expansion, you can have both. The A51 has an extra-long slot, into which you can insert a microSD memory card and two SIM cards at the same time.

You can use and use two SIMs in nano format (4FF). At the same time, the memory can be upgraded with a microSD up to 512 GB.

The two SIMs can then be used in parallel so that you can expect calls to two numbers at the same time.

This is how dual SIM works on the Samsung Galaxy A51

Thanks to the dual SIM technology, you have the option of being able to be reached at the same time under two telephone numbers, using two networks, or splitting calls and surfing between two tariffs.

For example, you can choose a SIM with a cheap surf tariff while you choose a different network for telephony. Or use the SIMs of two countries to travel abroad cheaper.

The technology is very simple to operate. Everything is as usual when you receive it: anyone who knows the number or your messenger ID can easily reach you. With outgoing calls, SMS but also messenger chats you have to think about something. Before you make an outgoing call, you have to choose from which number, via which SIM in which network the call comes out. You also have to decide that with an SMS.

The dual SIM technology of the Galaxy A51 also means that you can use two messengers such as WhatsApp at the same time. So you have to be careful about whom you write about which messenger instance.

Dual SIM does not only have advantages. Another disadvantage is that the technology uses more electricity. Two transmitter and receiver units are operated at the same time, which is why a cell phone also has two IMEI numbers.

But once you get used to the technology, you will appreciate the benefits. You can use it to best distinguish business and private life or work and friends. You can temporarily deactivate a SIM and then you will no longer be reachable for a certain group of contacts. And there are always cheap SIM offers.
