What is the logical and physical sector size for 512e disks

Equal logical and physical sector sizes of 512 bytes describes a 512n (512 native) disk, the traditional format that predates Advanced Format drives.

512e drives store data in 4096-byte physical sectors to improve error correction and areal density, but they present a 512-byte logical sector size to the host OS and hypervisor for backward compatibility with software that expects traditional sector sizes. This emulation layer is the defining characteristic that distinguishes 512e from both 512n and 4Kn disk types.

Equal logical and physical sector sizes of 4096 bytes describes a 4Kn (4K native) disk, which does not perform any 512-byte emulation and requires explicit OS support.

A 2048-byte logical sector size does not correspond to any standard disk format recognized by vSphere or common storage specifications.
