  • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G (2021): Yes, supports eSIM.
  • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G (2020): Yes, supports eSIM.
  • Samsung Galaxy Fold (2019): No, the very first Galaxy Fold model generally does NOT support eSIM. It was released before eSIM became more widespread in Samsung flagships.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Series

  • Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 (Expected 2024/2025): Yes, confirmed to support eSIM.
  • Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 (2023): Yes, supports eSIM.
  • Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 (2022): Yes, supports eSIM.

Yes, both the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G (including the Note 20 Ultra variants) generally support eSIM.

These phones, released in 2020, were among the first Samsung flagships to widely adopt eSIM technology.

Key points to remember:

  • Regional Variations: While most versions support it, certain regional models (e.g., from China, Hong Kong, or specific carrier versions in some countries like the US or Korea) might have limitations or lack eSIM functionality.
  • Dual SIM: These devices typically support a dual SIM setup, allowing you to use one physical Nano-SIM card and one eSIM simultaneously. You can usually store multiple eSIM profiles, but only one can be active at a time alongside the physical SIM.
  • How to Check: To confirm on your specific device, navigate to Settings > Connections > SIM manager (or "SIM card manager") and look for an option to "Add eSIM" or "Download a mobile plan."

So, for the Note 20 series, you can expect eSIM support in most cases.

One of the latest Samsung phones compatible with eSIM technology is the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G. Additionally, there are other recent Samsung phone models that also support eSIM functionality.
