Samsung Galaxy S23 / Ultra series mobile phones add support for Google Fi eSIM
CTOnews.com, February 4, Google Fi announced that it is adding eSIM support to some Samsung Galaxy smartphones. Support for Google Fi eSIM was introduced for the first time when purchasing the Google Pixel 2 series through Fi. Later, Google Fi support was extended to Pixel 3 and 3a phones. Then, in the Pixel 4 series, all Pixel devices support Google Fi eSIM.
In fact, even Pixel Watch supports Google Fi eSIM. Previously, however, Google Fi eSIM was limited to Pixel devices. Now, in the new support page, Google Fi has confirmed that eSIM support will be used for some Samsung Galaxy devices. It is important to note that in order to use Google Fi eSIM, Samsung Galaxy phones need to run Android 13 (One UI 5.0 or newer version).
At the top of the list is the latest Samsung Galaxy S23 series. The following is a complete list of Galaxy smartphones that support Google Fi:
Galaxy S23
Galaxy S23 +
Galaxy S23 Ultra

If Google Fi subscribes to users and owns any of these Samsung Galaxy devices, users no longer need to rely on physical SIM cards. CTOnews.com learned that users can easily set up Google Fi eSIM by connecting Galaxy devices to Wi-Fi, going to the Play store, and downloading Google Fi applications. Log in using the Google account for Google Fi. When asked to activate Google Fi, click the continue button.
It is unclear whether Google Fi eSIM support will be extended to more Samsung devices in the future. In addition, for some reason, support for Galaxy Z Fold3 does not appear in the Google Fi eSIM list.
