Always check Samsung's official spec page for your specific A model — eSIM support varies by region.
Most US versions support eSIM as listed above.
Most EU versions support eSIM, but a few exceptions exist — Galaxy S20 FE and S21 FE in some EU markets shipped without eSIM support.
Hong Kong, India, China, and some Southeast Asian variants of Samsung phones often lack eSIM support entirely. They use dual physical SIM trays instead.
Korean variants of Galaxy phones started supporting eSIM with the S23 series. Earlier Korean models do NOT support eSIM, even if the international version of the same model does.
Even eSIM-capable Samsung phones won't work if they're carrier-locked. Most US carrier-locked Samsungs hide eSIM settings entirely. See How to check carrier lock for details.
