The European model (SM-A356B) has eSIM; the Latin American one (SM-A356E) doesn’t.

How to check on your phone in 10 seconds

  1. Dial *#06# in the Phone app. If an EID number appears on screen, your phone has eSIM.
  2. In Settings, open About phone and check the model number: if it ends in B, it’s the European version; if it ends in E or M, the Latin American one.

What you need to know about the Galaxy A35

  • Europe: yes. The European Galaxy A35 is the SM-A356B and it has eSIM.
  • Latin America and Brazil: no. The model sold there is the SM-A356E, without eSIM.
  • What matters is the model number, not where you are now: an A35 bought in Europe still has eSIM in Mexico, and one bought in Mexico doesn’t have it in Europe.
  • Samsung’s official list says the A35 has eSIM in “Europe, North America and Korea only”.

Requirement: the phone must be unlocked

As well as having eSIM, the phone must be carrier-unlocked. If you bought it from an operator and it’s locked, it may not accept an eSIM from another company: ask them before you travel.
