I wanted to get an e sim to use while on holiday, but cannot seem to install it on my Samsung a26. Is this phone model too old?

Different variants of the Galaxy A26 support different SIM-types.
I believe the 5G version supports nano-SIM + electronic-SIM, the 4G versions are physical SIM-only.
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10004965/ confirms eSIM support on the 5G variant, while https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a26-13679.php references both. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1po0KKBef28 references no support on the native A26
