Which Xiaomi phones support eSIM? Xiaomi 13, 14 and 15 series, Redmi Note 13 Pro and 14 Pro, and a few POCO models

Only Xiaomi's recent flagship and upper mid-range phones have eSIM: the Xiaomi 13, 14 and 15 families (including the T, T Pro and 13 Lite), the 12T Pro, the Redmi Note 13 Pro and Note 14 Pro families, and a few POCO models (POCO X7, F8 Pro, F8 Ultra). Units from mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao do not support eSIM even when the model does. Before a long trip, dial *#06#: if you see an EID number, your phone can take an eSIM.

Xiaomi does not publish one simple eSIM list we could open, so this table combines three compatibility lists kept by eSIM sellers: Airalo (as of September 2026), Ubigi (undated, checked November 2026) and eSIMfox (reviewed 22 August 2026 against Xiaomi documentation). Where they disagree, we say so. Models not listed are reported without eSIM, or not covered by any list we checked.

Regional variants without eSIM

• China mainland, Hong Kong and Macao. eSIMfox quotes that "devices originating from China, Hong Kong, and Macao do not support eSIM functionality." This covers imported phones bought online too.
• 4G versions of a model. The Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G has no eSIM while the 5G version does. The name on the box matters.
• Other regions. Airalo says eSIM "may vary depending on country/region and carrier", and adds that some regional models may not support eSIM. We found no reliable list of Indian Xiaomi models, so we cannot say which Indian units have it.
• Carrier-locked phones. A phone locked to one carrier may refuse a travel eSIM.

How to check before a long trip

• Dial *#06# in the phone app. An EID (32 digits) next to the IMEI means eSIM hardware is there (Airalo).
• Go to Settings, then Mobile networks (or Mobile data), and look for an "Add eSIM" or "Manage eSIM" option. If it is missing, check your exact model in Settings, About phone.
• Check the phone is not carrier-locked. Ask your home carrier if you are unsure.
• Do the check at home, not at the airport. If your phone has no eSIM, you need a physical local SIM at the destination.

What NomadGB uses here

NomadGB's Global eSIM covers 139 destinations on local partner networks, for example Vodafone, Orange, Claro, Movistar, Vivacom, Airtel and Rogers depending on the country. It works on any of the eSIM models above that are not carrier-locked.

Plan	Price (USD)
1 GB / 7 days	$7.99
3 GB / 30 days	$18.49
10 GB / 30 days	$50.49
20 GB / 90 days	$84.99
1 GB / 365 days	$19.99

Prices checked 12 November 2026 on the Global eSIM page. Data only.

To be fair: a global plan costs more per gigabyte than a single-country one. If your long trip is mostly in one country, a country eSIM or a local SIM is cheaper. The global plan pays off when you cross several borders, and the 1 GB, 365-day plan is a cheap backup to keep on the phone. If your Xiaomi has no eSIM, buy a physical SIM on arrival. No eSIM brand can fix missing hardware.

Before you fly

• Install the eSIM on Wi-Fi at home and leave it switched off until you land.
• Keep the QR code or activation details in an email you can reach offline.
• Do not delete an installed eSIM unless the seller confirms it can be reinstalled.
• Turn on data roaming for the eSIM line. Travel eSIMs need it.
