When the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 was released two years ago, it didn’t support a whole lot of SIM features. Now, reports state that the smartphone is finally getting the eSIM functionality in the US.

According to XDA Developers, this new function arrives as a part of the June 2022 security update for the unlocked as well as carrier models of the Z Fold 2. While the unlocked models get firmware build F916U1UEU2HVF4, the carrier models get firmware version F916USQU2HVF1.
