Samsung finally brings eSIM support on the U.S. Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip 3



Gone are the days of fumbling about with a tiny piece of plastic and trying to put it in your phone for the sake of cellular connectivity. Thanks to the eSIM technology, you can simply scan and download the SIM card information onto your device. While it’s definitely more convenient than handling physical SIMs, many phones in the U.S. still don’t have eSIM support, even though some of them actually have the eSIM hardware. The newest updates for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 are, however, bringing support for eSIM and Dual SIM, Dual Standby (DSDS).

The updated firmware builds are currently rolling out over the air to the T-Mobile Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip 3 users in the form of software version F926USQU1DVEE and F711USQU2DVEE, respectively. The carrier unlocked variants are receiving the eSIM functionality as well, so expect new updates to arrive soon to your smartphone. The releases for the unlocked models can be identified by software version F926U1UEU1DVEE (Galaxy Z Fold 3) / F711U1UEU2DVEE (Galaxy Z Flip 3).

Notably, eSIM support means that these phones are now also dual-SIM capable through eSIM — just like their global counterparts. Interestingly, the update not only adds support for DSDS, it also introduces a bunch of camera features from the Galaxy S22 lineup. Last but not least, the new software comes with the June 2022 Android security patches.
