New Samsung Feature Streamlines eSIM Transfer from iPhone to Galaxy

Prior to this update, users on One UI 8 only had the option to transfer an eSIM from "another phone." With the new One UI 8.5, the option has been expanded to include specific buttons for transfers from Android devices or iPhones.
Anticipated Release and Compatibility
The upcoming One UI 8.5 is rumored to debut next month, although it remains uncertain whether the eSIM transfer feature will be available during the beta phase or saved for the final release. The stable version is expected to launch alongside the Galaxy S26 in early 2023.
