Samsung Galaxy A7x Series

The Samsung Galaxy A7x family ran from 2019 to 2022 — four generations covering the A70, A71, A72, and A73. eSIM was absent for most of the family's life: the A70, A71, and A72 all use physical SIM only. The A73 5G (2022) became the first and last A7x model to support eSIM, and Samsung discontinued the A7x line after that.

Key Takeaways

• A70, A70s, A71, A72: No eSIM.
• A73 5G (2022): eSIM in select markets. The last A7x model.
• Samsung discontinued the A7x series after the A73 5G.
• Physical nano-SIM present on all A7x models.

Does Samsung Galaxy A7x Have eSIM?

Only the A73 5G supports eSIM in the A7x family. The earlier A70, A71, and A72 were each released before Samsung fully committed to eSIM in the A series. The A73 5G was the sole A7x model with eSIM and the final model in the lineup.

Galaxy A7x eSIM Compatibility

A70, A70s, A71, A71 5G, and A72 have no eSIM hardware in any standard retail variant.

Why Samsung Stopped at A73 5G

Samsung restructured its Galaxy A lineup after 2022, eliminating the A7x tier. Upper-mid-range buyers migrated to the A55 5G and A56 5G (which offer comparable specs to the old A73 5G at a similar price) and to the Galaxy S FE series for flagship-level features. The A7x occupied a pricing gap that Samsung's newer generation A5x effectively absorbed.

For anyone currently using an A70, A71, or A72 who wants eSIM: the upgrade path within the A lineup is the A55 5G or A56 5G, both of which support eSIM in select markets at a similar price to where the A7x launched.

How to Activate eSIM on Galaxy A73 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. Set the Roamix eSIM as the preferred data SIM in SIM Manager.
6. Enable Data Roaming for the Roamix SIM.

Travel with an A70, A71, or A72 (No eSIM)

For A70, A71, or A72 owners traveling internationally without eSIM:

• Physical SIM swap: Remove your home SIM and insert a local prepaid SIM from the destination. Requires carrier unlock — check with your carrier or dial *#06# for IMEI information.
• Carrier roaming: Use your home plan's international add-on. Typically more expensive per GB.
• Upgrade: The A55 5G or A56 5G offer eSIM support at a mid-range price and are direct successors in terms of market positioning.

Galaxy A7x eSIM Troubleshooting

"Add eSIM" not appearing on A73 5G: Your regional variant may not support eSIM. The A73 5G was not released equally across all markets — some Southeast Asian variants omit eSIM. Check your model number under Settings → About phone and verify with Samsung or your carrier.

A70/A71/A72 showing no eSIM option: Expected. These phones have no eSIM hardware. Physical SIM swapping or carrier roaming are the options for international travel.

A73 5G eSIM installed but no data abroad: In SIM Manager, select the Roamix profile, set it as Mobile Data, and enable Data Roaming. Toggle Airplane Mode on/off to force network re-registration on arrival.

QR code scan fails on A73 5G: Device must be on Wi-Fi during activation. If camera scan fails, tap "Enter activation code" in the Add eSIM flow and enter the SM-DP+ address from your Roamix confirmation email.
