In recent years, eSIM has been more and more popular, with the latest iPhone 14 models even dropping the SIM card slot in favor of eSIM technology. Because it’s much more convenient than physical SIM, people may expect eSIM technology on their tablet as well. So, can you use eSIM on Galaxy Tab S8 series?
What is eSIM?
Before answering the question, it is necessary to know what is eSIM. eSIM is essentially embedded SIM, just like a programmable chip built into smartphones and other portable devices. Whether you’re using it for work or are just on the go, having an eSIM in a smartphone or tablet brings you a new level of mobile connectivity and productivity. eSIM is better than physical SIM mainly for these reasons:
- It’s more secure as it can’t be removed if it’s stolen or lost.
- It’s more convenient because you don’t need to obtain, carry, and swap physical SIM cards, or wait for them to arrive by mail. For example, you can activate eSIM simply by scanning a QR code offered by your carrier.
- It enables you to store multiple cellular profiles at the same time, and you can easily toggle to select which carrier you’d like to use.
Do Galaxy Tab S8 series support eSIM?
Though Samsung has ever released a eSIM smartwatch (Samsung Gear S2), it seems to move forward more slowly in this direction than expected. There are many Galaxy phones with eSIM like Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4, and Galaxy S22 series, while if you want to find a Galaxy tablet with eSIM technology, you may be upset. Till now, Samsung is yet to launch a tablet with an eSIM, let alone the latest Galaxy Tab S8 series.
On the Tab S8, you can only take advantage of physical SIM (nano-SIM, without dual SIM support). To add a SIM card you need to remove the card holder on the side of the tablet, then place your SIM in the SIM holder and insert the card holder into the tablet.
