Does the Huawei P40 Pro have eSIM?

Depends on the version · check your unit

The Huawei P40 Pro has eSIM in some versions only: the market the unit was made for and its firmware decide. The check takes a minute and is more reliable than any list. If the support is there, a travel profile installs like on any other phone.

That is a change from the Huawei P30 Pro: on that 2019 model the answer is no. The Huawei Pura 70 Pro that follows in 2024 depends on the version. Of its 2020 shelf-mates, Huawei Mate 40 Pro carries the same answer.

Only the global version and only in the single nano-SIM configuration: where there are two nano-SIM slots there is no eSIM. The P40 Pro+ has no support at all.

Check your unit in a minute

An "Add eSIM" entry means it is supported. Dial *#06#: a phone with eSIM shows an EID among the numbers.

Settings beat any list: the same model ships with and without eSIM depending on the country.

Common questions

Can I install a travel eSIM on the Huawei P40 Pro?

Yes, if Settings offers an entry to add an eSIM. Check that before buying a plan: without the entry there is nowhere to install the profile.

How many eSIMs does the Huawei P40 Pro store, and how many work at once?

On Android the number of stored profiles depends on the model and firmware. Usually a physical SIM and one eSIM work at the same time. The SIM manager in Settings shows the exact layout.

Which other 2020 Huawei models answer the same way as the Huawei P40 Pro?

Huawei Mate 40 Pro gives the same eSIM answer in this catalogue, and it also depends on the market the unit was built for. Where units differ is the market they were made for, and that is what Settings shows.
