Google Fi has announced that it is adding eSIM support to some Samsung Galaxy smartphones. Support for Google Fi eSIM was first introduced when the Google Pixel 2 series was purchased through Fi. Later, Google Fi support was extended to the Pixel 3 and 3a phones. Then, in the Pixel 4 series, all Pixel devices supported Google Fi eSIM.
In fact, even the Pixel Watch supports Google Fi eSIM, but previously Google Fi eSIM was limited to Pixel devices. Now, in a new support page, Google Fi has confirmed that eSIM support will be available for some Samsung Galaxy devices. Note that in order to use Google Fi eSIM, Samsung Galaxy phones need to be running Android 13 (One UI 5.0 or newer).
At the top of the list is the newly launched Samsung Galaxy S23 series. Here is the full list of Galaxy smartphones that support Google Fi.
