It's unbelievable that the rest of S21 series supports esim except the newly launched S21 FE disabled this feature at launch, please add this feature in the next update! Thank you!

Not happening. Same story with s20fe waited for more than a year... looks like samsung themselves are in cohorts with apple to bring down their sales by offering no E sim. Only Apple does esim

We have a s21+ and since upgrade to Android 12, we have the option for esim . But on the s20fe, we didn't get the upgrade to Android 12 yet, so no esim.

Hi cantthinkofnicknames, Please note that the eSIM feature will be enabled via a software update. The update time may vary depending on the baseband version and carrier.

Hi Valeriya, thanks for your reply, can you clarify that the esim firmware update will come to S21 FE but not just S21/+/ultra? Thanks!

edit: Online CSR stated it should be available in the next OS update. (And it didn't happen)

Hello Samsung team, 

2 years ago! you said there that eSIM will be added to the S21 FE in future. So, future has come, where is eSIM support? I know that s21 fe has hardware for this, but not software yet. Please, add it!!!
