Yes, on global variants. The Z TriFold supports Dual eSIM — two eSIM profiles can be simultaneously active alongside the nano-SIM slot. This means you can use your home carrier SIM and a Roamix travel eSIM at the same time without swapping anything.
Regional restriction: Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold units sold in South Korea through carrier channels (KT, SKT, LGU+) and models sold in mainland China or Hong Kong do not have eSIM hardware.

Troubleshooting Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold eSIM
"Add eSIM" missing from SIM Manager: Your device is a South Korean carrier model (KT/SKT/LGU+), mainland China, or Hong Kong variant — no eSIM hardware. Cannot be resolved by software. Confirm your variant at Settings → About phone → Model.
eSIM downloads but shows "No service" or no signal: Roamix eSIM is not set as the active data line, or Data Roaming is off. Go to Settings → Connections → SIM Manager → select Roamix → set as Mobile Data. Then enable Data Roaming for the Roamix line.
"Activation failed" or QR code rejected: Device must be carrier-unlocked. Check Settings → General Management → Device Information → IMEI status. If carrier-locked, contact Samsung or your carrier for unlock.
Stuck on "Connecting…" during download: Move to a stronger Wi-Fi connection and retry. The eSIM profile download requires a stable internet connection.
