Does Samsung Galaxy A8 series support eSIM?
No, the Samsung Galaxy A8 series, including models like the A8, A8 (2016), and A8 Duos, cannot use eSIM. These phones are designed to work with regular SIM cards and do not support eSIM technology.
eSIM is a newer feature that allows users to activate mobile plans without needing a physical SIM card, but it is only available in newer Samsung models starting with the Samsung Galaxy S20.
If you want to use eSIM, you have two options:
- Use a Special SIM Card: You can obtain a specialized SIM card that enables eSIM functionality on your device.
- Upgrade to a Newer Samsung Model: Consider upgrading to a Samsung Galaxy phone that supports eSIM. You can explore a list of eSIM-compatible Samsung phones to find the right option.
Note: eSIM availability may vary depending on your location and mobile service provider.
