Check your device supports eSIM

Apple, Samsung, Pixel, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Oppo — how to confirm eSIM support by brand.

Check Your Device Supports eSIM

Most phones from the last 3–5 years do. Here's how to confirm before you buy, by brand.

Apple

Any of these support eSIM:

  • iPhone: XS / XR or newer (2018+). iPhone 14, 15 and 16 sold in the United States are eSIM-only — no physical SIM tray at all.
  • iPad: iPad Pro 2018+, iPad Air 3+, iPad mini 5+, iPad (7th gen)+.

The quickest in-phone check on iPhone: Settings → General → About → scroll for EID. If you see an EID number, you have eSIM hardware.

Samsung Galaxy

eSIM-capable models include:

  • S series: Galaxy S20 and newer (S20, S21, S22, S23, S24).
  • Note series: Note 20 and newer.
  • Z Fold / Z Flip: Fold 2 and newer, Flip 1 and newer.
  • A series: A54 and newer (varies — check your region).

Note: some regional variants of Samsung devices ship without eSIM hardware. The safest check is in-phone: Settings → Connections → SIM card manager → look for "Add eSIM." If the option is there, you're good.

Google Pixel

Pixel 3 and newer all support eSIM. The Pixel 7 family onwards supports dual-eSIM, so you can run two eSIMs at once.

Check: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → "Download a SIM instead?"

OnePlus, Xiaomi, Oppo, others

Support is patchy and varies a lot by region and model. As a rough guide:

  • OnePlus: OnePlus 11 and newer typically support eSIM. Earlier models depend on region.
  • Xiaomi: Xiaomi 12T Pro, 13, 14 series support eSIM in most regions.
  • Oppo: Find X3 Pro and newer in select regions.
  • Motorola: Razr 2019+ and selected newer flagships.

For any of these, check Settings → look for "SIM card manager" or "SIMs" → "Add eSIM" / "Download a SIM." If the option exists, you have eSIM hardware.

The universal IMEI check

Dial *#06# on any phone. The screen will show your IMEI. On eSIM-capable phones you'll also see an EID number alongside it. EID present = eSIM hardware present. No EID = no eSIM.

You can also paste your IMEI into your manufacturer's coverage / spec lookup, but the EID check is faster.

Still unsure?

Email support@esimple.ai with your exact model name and the country you bought the phone in. We'll confirm before you buy. If you purchase and the device turns out not to support eSIM, we'll refund — see the refund policy.
