e-sim capability

[bittu0409]

I heard all galaxy s20 variants are capable to have e-sim in hardware perspective but not enabled in software. Any idea when that would be enabled?

No bro, Indian S20 series have physical 2nd sim slot so its stupid to ask for eSim compatibility. (I guess).

yes bro, 2nd sim slot is a hybrid slot. moreover the one i am using is bought from Germany.

eSIM is useful if you want to have two SIMs and a microsd card at the same time. 5G S20 Ultra in Germany etc comes with eSIM enabled along with the full physical slot, so it's just a manual restriction Samsung has put on the LTE variants.

Bro I know its useful but idk why ppl need almost 3rd slot..

Again, if they need dual SIM + microSD. Samsung could easily enable eSIM but they won't so it's a moot point anyway.

eSIM are beneficial only in USA, where phones are having carrier lock, and sometimes unlocked variants have eSIM. In India smartwatches like Galaxy Watch have eSIM.
