The same model may or may not include eSIM, depending on the market it was built for. Only your actual device can give you a definitive answer.
eSIM-compatible devices by brand
Aggregated list based on official manufacturer announcements, reviewed monthly. For ‘Model-dependent’ devices, always double-check using *#06# before purchasing.
Mainland China–market devices lack eSIM (the sole exception: iPhone Air). Hong Kong/Macau models have eSIM only in select generations.
Devices sold in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan lack eSIM—even new flagship models. Galaxy models with identical names may differ in hardware across regions.
Pixel devices sold in Hong Kong typically lack eSIM.
Only international (global) models include eSIM — all domestically sold Chinese-market devices lack it. Exercise caution with gray-market imports.
Chinese/Hong Kong models do not support eSIM; the "Lite" variants often omit eSIM functionality.
Many Indian/Chinese models of the 13R lack eSIM support — the safest choice is the North American or European version.
Motorola Moto G models vary by market — some U.S. retail versions lack eSIM.
eSIM is supported only on international models; Chinese models do not support eSIM.
Only certain generations of international models support eSIM; these devices lack Google services. Chinese models do not support eSIM.
Only Wi-Fi + Cellular iPad models support eSIM. iPads sold in mainland China do not include eSIM. Starting with the iPad (10th generation), iPad Pro (M4), iPad Air (M2), and iPad mini (A17 Pro), only eSIM is supported — no physical SIM tray.
Only models equipped with a 4G/5G (WWAN) module support eSIM — Wi-Fi-only variants of the same model do not. Windows 10 or 11 is required.
Smartwatches require carrier-specific eSIM plans activated through your domestic mobile provider — travel data eSIMs cannot be installed on smartwatches.
FAQ
Open the phone keypad and dial *#06#. If an EID number appears (a 32-digit string beginning with '89'), your device has eSIM hardware. This method is more reliable than any list, as hardware configurations may differ across regional variants of the same model.
Yes. All iPhones from the XS, XS Max, and XR (2018) onward support eSIM — except for models sold in mainland China (which use two physical SIMs) and certain Hong Kong/Macau variants.
No. Even if the device has eSIM hardware, carrier-locked phones cannot install eSIMs from other providers. On iPhone, check Settings → General → About: the "Carrier Lock" field must read "No SIM restrictions".
Mainland China has not rolled out eSIM support for smartphones, so devices manufactured for this market omit eSIM hardware — including iPhones and Samsung flagships. The sole current exception is the iPhone Air.
The S20 FE does not. The S23 FE, S24 FE, and S25 FE do (except for models sold in China/Hong Kong). The FE series is a classic example of "same name, different hardware" — always verify compatibility using *#06# before purchasing a plan.
iPhones can store 8 or more eSIMs (with up to 2 active simultaneously); most Android devices store 5–7. You can keep your old travel eSIM installed and simply activate it when needed.
No. LTE versions of Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch use carrier-specific eSIMs registered through domestic carriers; travel data eSIMs cannot be installed on watches. Instead, install the eSIM on your phone and share its hotspot if needed.
You can use another eSIM-compatible device as a mobile hotspot for your group — all Zyesims plans allow hotspot sharing — or purchase a physical SIM at your destination.
