Samsung and eSIM
Galaxy flagships have supported eSIM since the S20 series in many markets, and the Z Fold and Z Flip lines have supported it from early generations. In the A series only a few models carry it.

How to check on the phone
- Open Settings → Connections → SIM manager
- Look for Add eSIM or Add mobile plan
- Menu wording changes between One UI versions — search Settings for eSIM if it is not where you expect
Things to know
- The same model can lack eSIM in some countries — check your own SIM manager menu.
- Mainland China units and some South Asian batches typically ship without eSIM.
- Many India-market units have eSIM disabled — if you bought a grey-import handset, check the SIM manager before you plan the trip.
- Only 5G or LTE Galaxy Tab models carry an eSIM — Wi-Fi models do not.
- LTE Galaxy Watches use a watch plan from the carrier paired with your phone — travel eSIM cannot be installed.
Compatibility information is compiled from manufacturer specifications and public carrier documentation. We do not test every handset ourselves, and the same model can differ by sales market, so always check your own device's settings before buying a plan.
