Does the Huawei Y5p have eSIM?

No · no eSIM

No, the Huawei Y5p has no eSIM: it works with a physical SIM only, so a travel profile cannot be installed on it. For data abroad that leaves a local SIM or your carrier's roaming.

The Huawei P30 Pro from 2019 does not. The Huawei Pura 70 Pro that follows in 2024 depends on the version. Its 2020 shelf-mates, Huawei P40 Pro, Huawei Mate 40 Pro, Huawei P40 Pro+, carry the same answer.

The budget Y series has no eSIM: two nano-SIM slots.
