Does the Sony Xperia 1 IV have eSIM?

Depends on the version · check your unit

The Sony Xperia 1 IV 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.

The Sony Xperia 1 V that follows in 2023 depends on the version. Its 2022 shelf-mates, Sony Xperia 5 IV, Sony Xperia 10 IV, carry the same answer.

Sony puts eSIM only into certain variants of a model. Example from Sony's own manual: the Xperia 1 IV variant XQ-CT54 supports eSIM, while XQ-CT62 and XQ-CT72 with two nano-SIMs do not. The variant number is under Settings → About phone.

Check your unit in a minute

Settings → Network & internet (or Mobile network) → SIMs

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.
