Moving from one Android phone to another can be a bit nerve-wracking for some, but it’s usually less complicated if you stick with the same brand. If you use an eSIM (a digital SIM card), the process can be faster, but you have to remove it from your old phone before you can use it on the new one.

Google has been trying to make it easy to move eSIMs from one device to another or switch from a physical SIM to an eSIM. But Samsung, with its One UI 5.1 software, seems to have beaten Google to the punch.
