Does the Google Pixel 7a have dual-SIM support?

Why constrict yourself to one mobile carrier when you can connect to two? More modern devices are now packing support for two SIMs, but what about Google’s newer smartphones? Read on to learn whether Google Pixel 7a dual-SIM functionality is supported.

Does the Google Pixel 7a have dual-SIM support?

Yes, as mentioned in our Pixel 7a review, the device has dual-SIM support but only comes with one physical SIM card slot. The Pixel 7a features a nano-SIM card slot for traditional carrier cards and eSIM support, which can be used alongside the physical SIM.

Unfortunately, the lack of a second physical SIM slot does have its disadvantages. If you’re updating from a phone with two physical SIM card slots, you must choose which card to use in your Pixel 7a and consult the other carrier about their eSIM support if you wish to stay on their network.

Importantly, eSIM functionality will not work with every carrier in every country. Be sure to check with your preferred network provider in your region before purchasing a Google Pixel 7a if you need dual-SIM functionality.

Our extensive Google Pixel 7 series eSIM activation guide has all the information you need to get started, whether you purchased your phone through Google or directly from a carrier.

Whether you choose to use the dual-SIM features on the Pixel 7a or not, remember to take advantage of the nifty Phone app features, including Call Screen, Hold for Me, and Direct My Call. That’s one of our many Pixel 7a tips and tricks.
