Samsung Galaxy S22 Series

The Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra all support eSIM alongside a physical nano-SIM slot. Released in February 2022, these models support one active eSIM at a time. Dual eSIM arrived with the Galaxy S23 series the following year.

Key Takeaways

• One active eSIM at a time (not Dual eSIM).
• Physical SIM slot is present — not eSIM-only.
• Device must be carrier-unlocked for third-party eSIMs.

Does the Galaxy S22 Support eSIM?

Yes. The Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra all support eSIM. One active eSIM at a time alongside the physical nano-SIM. If you need two simultaneous active eSIM lines, the Galaxy S23 or later supports Dual eSIM.

Regional note: eSIM availability can vary by carrier variant. Carrier-branded S22 phones may restrict third-party eSIM activation. Unlocked models have the broadest compatibility.
