Thanks- in fact it doesn't due to lack of transparency on Samsung specs. I was looking S21 vs S21 but different model as issued for EMEA, LATAM or US. The reason for that is simple: US model doesn't have the dual sim or eSIM. If I go with the LATAM or European model, what should I expect? As a fact. LATAM is advertised 5G. Nevertheless because of 5G bands enabled not being covered in US is not getting any 5G signal but only LTE and that's weak. In contrast to Apple which enables all the bands on their phone, more or less, you'll have to dig in for information when it's about Samsung. Shame on them.

It looks like some of the threads on this eSIM issue have been blocked. When initially started all these eSIM issues again, I told many be aware of bait and switch. their FAQ clearly stated it supports eSIM as many provided proof. As usually Samsung is adjusting their statement just after lunch as seem in their new FAQ

Let me sure I understand: 1. You could NOT use 2 SIM cards, and neither 2. You could NOT find card manager. Correct? If I am not mistaken the Canadian site list the phone as single SIM.

When you say box, do you refer to the original packaging? The app shows SIM 1 only so no evidence of dual SIM capabilities. On my S20+ US model there's no reference on eSIM on the box. I hardly believe their lies about software updates to enable it. I just think that's pure bait and switch technique and no eSIM at all.

No eSIM options on US models. Their bait and switch technique it's becoming frustrating. They've done this for 4 series in a row now S20, Note 20, Fold 2, S21. Just ridiculous. What I can say, I feel sorry for you, but you get a chance to switch a trustworthy customer service by moving to iPhone which has the eSIM option you were looking for. You are still entitled for free returns.

Me too... the S20 and S21 are just two other series which just proves Note20 was not an isolated case of bait and switch.

I won't agree with the points you make, simply because of the story as is today. Look to FAQ on S21 series on US site where Samsung clearly states they do support eSIM and advantages of it. Don't tell me it's an error/ omission. That's a lie, bait and switch technique. Even the phone will go out on 29th at large it's available on display with all service suppliers (AT&T, T-Mobile etc,), BestBuy including unlocked model and so. Guess what? No version has eSIM. Their updates after launch, after lot of people got stuck with 1k device on lies and promises.

I confirmed it doesn't on 14th. What I am trying to understand which model fits my need (exact model number) so I can buy it on on other sites or just go with Apple. Thanks for your reply.

That's it. And for more than a year now, for 3 premium devices launch s20, note 20, s21. And will not be a big issue if their website will be a trustworthy source of information so people know what they pay for. see the topic and question on the thread.

For example how do we know which models are single, dual and/or support eSIM since listing is too generic: SIM Card Single SIM modes one Nano SIM Dual SIM model one Nano SIM and one eSIM two Nano SIMs and one eSIM two Nano SIMs *Availability of dual SIM may vary depending on country or carrier.*Nano SIM card sold separately.*Use of eSIM on Galaxy device may be enabled by software update or disabled in some countries where it is purchased. Availability of eSIM mobile plan may vary depending on carrier.

There are other features being removed: for example the MST used by SamsungPay. Now they've done a step back to remove almost everything kept them above competition. NFC only payments

See instructions on their website. it should be straight forward and you can set it either as single, dual always on, primary data or default line etc. good luck :thumbs_up: https://www.samsung.com/levant/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-a-series-how-to-use-and-manage-dual-sim-cards/

Does anyone knows in depth diff between this versions? As usually samsung don't list the full specs of the US version at launch. Just a generic world wide FAQ which is innaccurate when we talk about localization. SM-G998U vs SMG998B vs SM-G998DS
I assume it's mainly the CPU but there are others related to eSIM, FM radio, and 2G/3G/LTE/5G supported bands.
In addition there are software related diffs eg apps like SamsungPay locked to a regional server so won't work across.
Any link, help is kindly appreciated. :folded_hands: :grinning_face:

It seems a trend in industry. Out of ideas for both innovation and cost reductions. Much easier to copy whatever others do. Apple claims innovation whatever have been already on the market (mostly through Samsung) and Samsung learn somehow to increase their revenue through Apple' tricks

Had a similar issue with my S3 Frontier a while back while it was still under warranty. I sent it to Samsung after contacting their support and it was noticed the battery was swelling and got replaced. I would do the same.

Thanks for your research. In fact supporting means to be available for use. If capability is there but not enabled, it makes it useless if activated after end of product lifecycle. It's been an year now since they released S20 with same issue.

Did you check if any app update is available? Or it may be region specific since it works just well for me.

Does anyone know if there are any features incompatible with US region? I know Samsung Pay is one of them. Also I am curious if any band or connectivity issues with T-Mobile carrier.
