That dual-SIM signal bar looks very familiar…
- Android 16 Quarterly Platform Release 1 Beta 1 is now available for Pixel devices enrolled in the beta program.
- This new beta build has some Material 3 Expressive aesthetic changes, including a new signal strength bar indicator when using multiple SIMs.
- The dual SIM signal strength indicator looks very similar to iOS, with two signal bars on top of each other, but the main SIM being slightly larger.
With the rise of eSIMs, more and more phones support dual-SIM connectivity, often pairing your main physical SIM card with a secondary eSIM, so you can have two phone numbers on (possibly) multiple carriers. Not everyone needs to use more than one SIM at a time very often, but it’s particularly useful for international travel or work. Right now, Android displays two signal strength indicators side-by-side, which isn’t the best layout, but that’s changing in Android 16.
