The short answer for the Galaxy S23 to S26
Samsung Australia's eSIM compatibility page, read September 30, 2026, lists 16 phones in this family. The S26 group has Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra. The S25 group has Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra, S25 Edge, and S25 FE. The S24 group has Galaxy S24, S24+, S24 Ultra, and S24 FE. The S23 group has Galaxy S23, S23+, S23 Ultra, and S23 FE. Samsung's Australian page says its guide is designed for Australian variant Galaxy devices, and settings and steps may vary.
One physical SIM and one eSIM
Samsung's US SIM cards page, read September 30, 2026, describes Hybrid eSIM as a physical SIM and an eSIM used for dual SIM features. It names the Galaxy S26, S25, S24, and S23 series among the Hybrid eSIM devices. The US page does not spell out the FE models in that list. Samsung UK's Galaxy S24 SIM page, read September 30, 2026, shows SIM1 as a physical SIM and SIM2 as a physical SIM or eSIM. It says using a nano-SIM and eSIM together may result in slower data transfer speeds in some areas.
Country and carrier limits Samsung states
Samsung's US page says "Carrier devices do not support these features. Only devices unlocked by Samsung can support Dual Physical SIM." That note sits right after the Hybrid eSIM list and before the Dual Physical SIM list, and it names no Hybrid eSIM model, so this page does not read it as a limit on the S23 to S26. Samsung also says eSIM may not be supported depending on the country of origin. Samsung's pages read for this family do not state a model-by-model dual eSIM rule, so none is stated here.
What to check before you buy an eSIM plan
Samsung UK's Galaxy S24 page says to add an eSIM under Settings, Connections, SIM manager, Add eSIM, or by scanning a QR code from the service provider. It also says eSIM use may depend on the service provider, region, or device model. Check the phone's country of origin, carrier status, region, and model before buying a plan.
