Does Samsung Galaxy A8 series support eSIM?

No, the Samsung Galaxy A8 series, including models like A8, A8 (2016), and A8 Duos, cannot use eSIM. These phones are designed for regular SIM cards and do not support eSIM technology.

eSIM is a newer feature that allows users to use mobile plans without a physical SIM card, but it is only available in newer Samsung models starting from the Samsung Galaxy S20.

If you want to use eSIM, you have two options:

  • Use a special SIM card: You can get a specialized SIM card that enables eSIM functionality on your device.
  • Upgrade to a newer Samsung model: Consider upgrading to a Samsung Galaxy model that supports eSIM. You can find a list of eSIM-compatible Samsung phones to explore suitable options.

Note: eSIM availability may vary depending on your location and mobile service provider.
