Officially unveiled on March 11, the Galaxy A55 is Samsung’s most recent high-end mid-range handset. It will be showing up on store shelves in a great number of more locations over the course of the next several weeks, having gone on sale in a few markets that same day.

There exist valid reasons behind the Galaxy A55’s higher price point compared to other models. With a metal frame and Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection, it sports a more premium style. It also boasts a powerful new Exynos CPU with a GPU based on AMD’s RDNA graphics architecture and up to 12GB of RAM. These are just a few of the noteworthy almost flagship-grade changes it offers.

The Galaxy A55’s primary specifications and features are now all known, but there are a few less well-known aspects that might have escaped your notice. For example, did you know that the Galaxy A55 supports eSIM cards? Along with conventional SIM slots, the Galaxy A54 and A55 are the first phones in the A5x family to have an embedded SIM.

There may not be eSIM support in some markets

Additionally, the Galaxy A55 features a microSD card slot that can hold cards up to 1TB. You cannot utilize the microSD slot and two physical SIM cards simultaneously on this phone because it features a hybrid SIM tray. But if your preferred carrier supports eSIMs, that’s where the eSIM can be useful.

Additionally, you need to find out if the Galaxy A55 supports eSIM cards in your nation. Not all markets carried the Galaxy A54, and it’s probable that the A55 won’t either. Although Samsung will not release an official list of markets in which eSIM support is not available, you can check the Galaxy A55’s specifications on the company’s official website after it goes on sale in your nation to see if eSIM support is available.
