Samsung Galaxy S20 5G and eSIM: what to know

Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S20 5G supports eSIM. It combines a physical nano-SIM with an eSIM, so you can use two lines on one phone. You can keep several eSIM profiles stored, but only one eSIM is active at a time next to your physical SIM. Exact variants can differ by region.

Add an eSIM: open Settings > Connections > SIM manager > Add eSIM, then scan the QR code. On some software versions the option is called "Add mobile plan".
Find your EID: go to Settings > About phone > Status information, or dial *#06# and look for the EID number.
Choose data: in SIM manager, set "Mobile data" to your travel eSIM so your main SIM is not used for data.
Travel tip: install the eSIM on Wi-Fi before you leave, and keep it switched off until you land.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM on your Galaxy S20 5G, install it before your trip and activate it on arrival. Your main number stays on the physical SIM, so you can still receive calls, SMS and WhatsApp messages.
