Important Considerations Before Reviewing the List
Not Exhaustive: This list is extensive but may not be 100% complete. New models are frequently released, and manufacturers may add eSIM support through software updates or in certain regional variants.
Regional Variations: eSIM support depends on the region and specific model number. For example, iPhones in Mainland China typically use dual physical SIMs. Samsung or Xiaomi devices may vary by region.
Carrier Support: Your mobile carrier must support eSIM activation to use it.
"Lite" or "FE" Models: Mid-range or budget-friendly models (like "Lite" or "Fan Edition") often have inconsistent eSIM support. Always verify your exact model.
Verification: The best way to confirm eSIM compatibility is through your phone’s settings (usually under Settings > Network & Internet / Cellular / Mobile Data > Add eSIM), or by checking the manufacturer’s official website.
