Which phones support eSIM?
iPhone XS (2018) and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer with the Z Fold and Z Flip lines, Google Pixel 4 and newer. Units sold in mainland China are the main exception. Budget lines such as Galaxy A, Redmi and POCO mostly ship without eSIM; Xiaomi, Honor, Motorola, OnePlus, Vivo and Sony sell the same model with and without it depending on the country. Below: the verdict per model with the maker's caveats, and the check in Settings that beats any list.
232 models. The list last changed on .
The one-minute check. iPhone: Settings → General → About, an EID row means eSIM. Android: the SIM settings, an "Add eSIM" entry means eSIM. Dial *#06#: a phone with eSIM shows an EID among the numbers.
The second check: carrier lock. A phone locked to a carrier will not take another network's eSIM. iPhone: Settings → General → About → Carrier Lock must read "No SIM restrictions". Android: Settings → About phone → SIM status, or ask the carrier; a phone bought on an instalment plan is often locked until it is paid off.
The EID is the eSIM chip's own 32-digit number. Sellers rarely need it; a carrier may ask for it to issue a profile. It is in the same About screen, or behind *#06#.

Google Pixel eSIM-Only Rule Is Marked [US Only], Not Global Google marks its eSIM-only rule [US only]: Pixel 10 and later, except the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Apple's eSIM-only rule isn't China-only. Neither says why. › iPhone 11 eSIM Support: Apple's XR-or-Later Threshold The iPhone 11 clears Apple's eSIM threshold, needs Wi-Fi to activate, and needs manual APN entry in just 3 of 215 catalogued countries. › iPhone 12 eSIM: One Generation Before the Two-eSIM Cutoff In Hong Kong or Macao, the iPhone 12 mini's Dual SIM runs on an eSIM; the 12, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max use two nano-SIM cards instead. › iPhone 13 eSIM: Apple's Named Two-eSIM Threshold In Hong Kong and Macao, the iPhone 13 mini's Dual SIM runs through an eSIM. The plain 13, 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max use two nano-SIM cards instead. › iPhone 15 eSIM: Covered by Or-Later, Named Only Once iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max share a line of Apple's 29-model two-nano-SIM list for China mainland, Hong Kong and Macao — its only named mention. › iPhone 16 eSIM: 16e Splits From Its Own Flagship Siblings In Hong Kong and Macao, the iPhone 16e's Dual SIM runs through an eSIM. The 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max use two nano-SIM cards instead. › iPhone 17 eSIM: One Phone, Two Dual SIM Answers by Market Bought in Hong Kong or Macao, iPhone 17 Dual SIM runs on an eSIM. In China mainland it uses two nano-SIM cards, and none of the three is named for eSIM there. › iPhone 17e eSIM: China Mainland Name-Check The iPhone 17e supports eSIM in China mainland by name. Its SIM tray is confirmed by inference for that unit; a 17e sold elsewhere is still unverified. › iPhone 18 eSIM: 18 Pro and Pro Max Named, Base iPhone 18 Is Not Apple now names the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, eSIM-only in the US, but no base iPhone 18 (re-read 22 October 2026). Which rules would cover a base model. › iPhone Air eSIM Only: No Nano-SIM Fallback, Not Just in China Apple names the iPhone Air, model A3518, eSIM only in China mainland, and its tech specs say the Air takes no physical SIM. China activation needs an ID check. › iPhone SE eSIM: One Line Covers Two Generations Both iPhone SE generations clear Apple's eSIM floor. The iPhone 13 threshold never names the SE, but Apple's 3rd-gen SE spec page lists Dual eSIM support. › iPhone XR eSIM: Apple's Own Eligibility Floor Apple names the iPhone XR in its own eSIM threshold. It keeps a SIM tray, needs Wi-Fi to activate, and runs one eSIM plus a physical SIM, not two. › iPhone XS eSIM: Apple Splits It From Its Own XS Max Both 2018 phones clear Apple's eSIM floor, but two active eSIM lines need an iPhone 13. The iPhone X sits one generation below the floor entirely. ›

The phone is only half the answer
A handset that supports eSIM still meets whatever the destination requires: an identity check before a local SIM is sold, a handset registry, an APN typed by hand. Those rules sit with the country, not the phone. They are read from primary documents in the rules section, one country at a time.
