What phones are eSIM compatible? (Comprehensive 2026 List)

Wondering what phones are eSIM compatible? You're not alone. Device compatibility isn't always straightforward, as eSIM support can vary by model, region, carrier restrictions, and software version.

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of eSIM-compatible devices across major brands, including Apple, Samsung, Google, Motorola, Huawei, Xiaomi, and more. It explains the requirements for using an eSIM, how to check whether your device supports the technology, and the regional limitations that may affect compatibility.

Let's get started.

Universal Prerequisites for eSIM Use

Every device must meet two hard requirements to use any third-party eSIM: it must contain eSIM hardware and must be fully carrier-unlocked.
A carrier-locked phone may physically contain an eSIM chip yet still reject any eSIM profile from a provider other than its original carrier.
Outdated firmware can block eSIM functionality even on hardware that supports it, so keeping software up to date is an additional compatibility requirement.
On iOS, the device must not be jailbroken, and on Android it must not be rooted, to use a commercial eSIM service.
The country of purchase is often as decisive as the model name, because the same device sold under the same marketing name can ship with different hardware or firmware that disables eSIM entirely in certain regions.

How to verify eSIM support on any device

Dialing *#06# is the fastest cross-platform check: a 32-digit EID number in the result confirms eSIM hardware is present.
Downloading the BeachSIM iOS App or Android App is the second fastest way of checking whether your device supports eSIM. The apps automatically scan your device and let you if you they are eSIM compatible.
On iPhone, eSIM support can be confirmed by navigating to Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) and looking for an Add eSIM or Add Cellular Plan option.
On Android, the equivalent check is Settings > Connections > SIM Manager (Samsung) or Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs, looking for an Add eSIM option.
On Windows laptops, the presence of a Cellular option under Settings > Network & Internet confirms eSIM support.
On iPhone, the EID also appears under Settings > General > About, and on Android it is typically found under Settings > About Phone > Status > EID.
Checking for an Add eSIM menu in settings alone does not guarantee full compatibility with every eSIM provider, since provider-level restrictions can still apply.

To conclude,

The rise of eSIM technology is transforming the way we connect, with more devices than ever offering built-in eSIM support. Having an eSIM-compatible device means you can enjoy a faster, simpler, and more flexible way to manage your mobile connectivity.

Finding the right eSIM provider is just as important as having a compatible device. BeachSIM offers eSIM plans for over 150 countries, connecting you to 3+ mobile networks in each destination. Our technology automatically selects the best available network to provide reliable coverage, at fast 4G/5G speeds.
