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. Of its 2020 shelf-mates, Huawei P40 Pro+ carries the same answer.
The budget Y series has no eSIM: two nano-SIM slots.

Common questions
Can I install a travel eSIM on the Huawei Y5p?
No. A travel profile is an eSIM, and this model has no built-in eSIM chip. For data abroad, a local SIM at the airport or your carrier's roaming pass are the options.
How many eSIMs does the Huawei Y5p 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 Y5p?
Huawei P40 Pro+ gives the same eSIM answer in this catalogue. Where units differ is the market they were made for, and that is what Settings shows.
