Just to make sure, can I use one e-SIM + one nanoSIM + 512GB microSDCX at the same time?

Yep, you can have eSim + sim + SDcard... [emoji6]View attachment 4993187
can confirm too using europe model S20 (G980F)!
the phone is able to use two mobile plans simultaneously - it can be 2 SIM cards inserted or 1 physical sim and 1 ESIM plan.
if you are willing to use the esim option, you can use the 2nd physical sim slot for sd card and still have 2 plans working
I'm using a nanoSIM, eSim and MicroSD card too.

Never seen a samsung phone with space for an sdcard and two sims, just with a sim + sim/sdcard slot. But some have managed to fit a sim and sdcard into one slot by shaving the sim card really thin.

It really depends on region and which ones your region decides to bring in. For me I'm in malaysia, went to sirim website to check on the certification and all 3 s20 in malaysia has esim as sim1, a single sim slot for sim2 and a dedicated sdcard slot.

Looking for Ultra
any way to use 2 sims with micro sd card ?
From my understanding not on newer Samsung dual SIM phones.
You might be able to use one SIM and the e-SIM.
You can use eSIM plus nanoSIM on s20 ultra and that will leave the microSD available. A guy on you tube showing the eSIM setup details sort of confirmed this.
I will update when I get an Ultra.
But that seems to be one of the biggest features on s20 Ultra this eSIM support and microSD with two numbers
From what I've read it may depend on the carrier software/CSC, as to whether you can use another SIM card along with the eSIM? But I can't see anything confirming that so far besides user posts at some places which seem to be more speculation than anything.
All that I can confirm for sure is, that it is possible. My carrier (Telstra, Australia) offered me both a standard SIM or eSIM when ordering, in which they said I could use another SIM freely along with the eSIM (eSIM is what I chose) I hope that's applicable for all.
They talked about this on the Samsung Forums. The international version has a hybrid slot allowing 2 nano Sims or one nano sim and MicroSD. In the US version one nano sim and MicroSD. If you use the ESim and nano sim only one can be used at a time not both. Like you can't be calling on one and texting on another. At same time.
The ability to use only one line at a time is not particular to the eSIM. My Note 8 has two nanoSIM cards and same limitation applies. When I talk on one of the cards the other is disconnected. Data comes only on one of the cards. Indeed only one has 4g connection.
I suppose s20 have similar limitations. I think this is limit as there is only one radio.
The gain is that both SIM are registered in the network and both can receive calls or be used to make calls at a given point of time but not simultaneously.
In my case both cards go to the same operator. One is from work the other is my personal number.
It works on the EU model SM-988B/DS
One nanoSIM + eSIM + MicroSD works.
I got my S20 Ultra last night and now have 256GB storage 128 built-in and 128GB SD card.
Now I have to figure if UHS-II benefits me or I stay with slow big cheap UHS-I card. Perhaps I will go to 400GB card.
Hello
I have the s20 plus 5g uk model SM-986B/DS

Hi, yes the phone will take 2 Sims. However if you want SD card in, you will need an esim from your provider. The SD card takes up a sim slot. I have mine from EE, 1 sim, an esim and SD card. Look in SIM card manager and it should show option of adding an esim. Which provider are you with?

When you mentioned that you inserted 2 sim, did you remove the sdcard? Or did you use an adapter to enable 2 sim cards and sdcard to function in the phone? If you are using the adapter, or the mod (heating up a simcard, remove the metal chip from simcard, file the microsd card slightly and stick the metal chip of the sim card on the micro sd card), samsung has blocked that since Android 9 with one ui.
For me, i use 1 esim, 1 simcard and 1 microsd card. Works just fine.
Edit: just googled SM-G986B/DS doesn't seem to have esim support. So it's either 2 simcards or 1 simcard and 1 microsd card.

Am with three and ee problem is I can't get through to customer services to get the esim and ive tried online and they say that some of my details are missing (on contract with three and pay as you go on ee)
I have now managed to activate my ee sim just was expecting it to be instantaneous but it took a couple of mins
I've got truephone for data which is o2 and Vodafone at moment until I can get a e sim ...

it's possible to do through online acct.just check exactly what your ordering as can be a bit misleading, or just go on the chat. Usually takes about 2 days to come through.

Hi guys,
I just ordered a Watch4 with 4G so I ordered an eSIM for the watch but my operator deactivated my physical SIM card.
So I end up with an eSIM that I would like to put on my Red Magic 6 but I can't find any option ... Is there a way to put the eSIM in my phone or do I have to pay again for have a physical sim card again and lost $ 20 for the eSIM?
Thanks
Which Country CSC code supports both dual physical sims & E-Sim?
I have a F926B and ordered the dual sim tray on Ebay, but I need to change the firmware for it to work.

Does the box they came in have 2 IMEI numbers on it and a EID ?
What carrier do you use ?

Yes. I am using Single SIM + E-SIM, but i can see double-sided connectors in the sim slot which means it can also support duel physical sims. I have the dual sim tray from the UK, but the other physical sim does not register on my MXO (Mexico) Model.

As far as I know needs to have 2 IMEI numbers on the box. 2 IMEI numbers means it supports dual sim the EID is the E-SIM
You can look under settings - about phone. If it says IMEI (Slot 1) only and no IMEI (Slot 2) then your devices does not support 2 SIM. Just because it has connectors on both sides does not mean device itself supports it. Samsung may have used same type of SIM connector but hasn't given proper dual SIM support in rest of device such motherboard and OS.
Shame on me ... I needed to read that thread here to understand, that my Z Fold 3 is capable to house two SIM cards. When I got my ZF3 a week ago, I was disappointed, that only one physical SIM slot was available (compared with the Note10+) ... I did not realize, that there are two sides on the tray (SM-F926B). So, I'm using two SIM cards with no need to wait, until my providers support the eSIM.
RTFM, I know ...
