Does Galaxy S23 FE support eSIM?
Yes, Galaxy S23 FE supports eSIM — but only in versions for markets where eSIM is allowed. Versions sold in some countries (for example, in Russia through official channels) may have eSIM disabled at the firmware level. Check with your operator or look for the EID in settings: if EID is present — eSIM works.

Frequently asked questions
Why isn't eSIM activating? Most often the reason is regional firmware blocking or an unsupported operator. Check for EID: Settings → About device → Status. If EID is missing — eSIM is blocked at the software level.
How do I delete eSIM? Settings → Connections → SIM card manager → select eSIM → Delete. The profile will be erased from the device.
Can I transfer eSIM to another phone? No, you cannot transfer it directly. You need to request a new QR code from your operator to reactivate on a new device.
