Samsung Galaxy A3x Series

The Galaxy A3x series marks the transition from no-eSIM to selective-eSIM in Samsung's mid-range lineup. The A30 and A30s (2019) predate Samsung's eSIM rollout in the A series. The A32 introduced eSIM — but only on the 5G variant. From the A33 5G onward, eSIM is a consistent feature of the A3x family in markets where Samsung includes it.

Key Takeaways

• A30, A30s: No eSIM (2019, pre-eSIM rollout).
• A32 4G: No eSIM.
• A32 5G, A33 5G, A34 5G, A35 5G: eSIM in select markets.
• Always confirm 5G vs 4G variant before assuming eSIM availability.
• Physical nano-SIM slot retained on all models.

Does Samsung Galaxy A3x Have eSIM?

The A3x family is split. Pre-2021 models and the 4G A32 have no eSIM. Starting with the A32 5G in 2021, Samsung added eSIM to 5G variants of the A3x line in markets where it was relevant. The A33 5G, A34 5G, and A35 5G each carry forward eSIM support in select markets.

The most critical distinction within the A3x family: the A32 exists in two completely separate versions — a 4G model and a 5G model — and only the 5G model has eSIM.

Galaxy A3x eSIM Compatibility

A30 and A30s (2019) have no eSIM hardware. A32 4G has no eSIM hardware despite sharing the A32 model name with the 5G variant.

How to Activate eSIM on Galaxy A32 5G / A33 5G / A34 5G / A35 5G

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap Connections, then SIM Manager.
3. Tap Add eSIM.
4. Select Scan QR Code and point your camera at the Roamix QR code.
5. Follow on-screen prompts to complete installation.
6. Set the Roamix eSIM as your preferred data SIM in SIM Manager.

Using Two Lines on Galaxy A3x

A3x models with eSIM run one active eSIM alongside the physical nano-SIM simultaneously. For travel:

• Physical SIM (home carrier): Calls and texts. Data Roaming off.
• Roamix eSIM: Set as preferred data SIM. Data Roaming on.

Manage at Settings → Connections → SIM Manager → Preferred SIM for data.

Galaxy A3x eSIM for International Travel

Roamix works with any unlocked A32 5G, A33 5G, A34 5G, or A35 5G. Purchase a plan before departure, scan the QR code, and the phone connects to local partner networks.

Galaxy A3x eSIM Troubleshooting

"Add eSIM" missing on A32: Confirm you have the 5G model (SM-A326) not the 4G (SM-A325). If you have the 5G variant and the option is still missing, your regional variant may not include eSIM, or the device is carrier-locked.

A35 5G eSIM not working after install: Confirm Roamix is set as the data SIM in SIM Manager and Data Roaming is enabled. Regional variants in parts of Asia may not activate eSIM even when the menu path exists — contact your carrier to confirm unlock status.

A30/A30s/A31 shows no eSIM option: Expected. These models do not have eSIM hardware. No software update can add eSIM to hardware that was not designed for it. The A32 5G (SM-A326) is the oldest A3x model with eSIM.

QR code scan fails on A32 5G or A35 5G: Device must be on Wi-Fi during QR scanning. If camera scan fails, tap "Enter activation code" in the Add eSIM flow and enter the SM-DP+ address from your Roamix confirmation email.
