- SIM
- Dual SIM + microSDThe G160N takes one nano-SIM, the G1650 takes two in dual standby. Either way the microSD slot is its own, so a card does not cost you a SIM.
- Wi-Fi hotspot
- Yes
- Bands
- 2G GSM 900/1800/1900. 3G 850/900/1900/2100. 4G LTE bands 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8 plus TDD 38, 39, 40 and 41. One US reseller's own listing drops band 5 and adds 2G 850, so the edges are unconfirmed.
- Carriers
- Sold unlocked by resellers; originally Korea and China. The LTE list has none of the bands US carriers lean on (2, 4, 12, 13, 66, 71) and VoLTE is not published, so a US network is a gamble.

Notes
Android 6.0.1 with no security updates, so plenty of current apps will not install and sellers point buyers at APKPure for older builds. The LTE bands miss everything US carriers lean on. This is the Galaxy Folder line, not the Galaxy Z Flip foldable.
