Which Phones Are ESIM Compatible?

 

eSIMs are an exciting new technology that makes switching carriers simpler, making them ideal for travelers and users who often switch phones.

If you own either an iPhone or Google Pixel phone, chances are it already supports eSIM functionality. Here’s how you can tell whether or not yours does:

Google Pixel 3

Google Pixel 3 is one of the most advanced Android phones available today, featuring an outstanding display, premium design and incredible camera.

The Pixel 3 is also esim compatible, enabling you to use multiple SIM cards without needing to change SIM cards at each instance – an invaluable feature when traveling overseas that saves both money and hassle.

Night Sight, one of the Pixel 3’s most exciting new features, uses AI to brighten dark scenes and restore colors – an AI feature which could change everything. Soon to roll out to all Pixel devices worldwide.

Samsung Galaxy S22

The Samsung Galaxy S22 may be an older phone, but it remains an excellent value option for those seeking high-end smartphones at an attractive price point. Boasting an eye-catching display, superior camera, and impeccable build quality.

Esim compatibility adds another level of convenience for users; this feature eliminates the need for physical SIM cards – something particularly helpful when traveling.

The Galaxy S22 features an AMOLED display with 120Hz adaptive refresh rate for smooth scrolling and support for HDR10+ for vivid, vibrant colors when watching television shows and movies.

iPhone 13

The iPhone 13 and 13 mini are both eSIM compatible, meaning you can use them with most global cellular data networks. All it takes to get started is an eSIM plan and details from your provider.

The phone also supports 5G UW connectivity, available in certain US cities and providing speeds twice as fast as 4G LTE. When testing 5G UW at Apple Park without experiencing any issues whatsoever and Real Flight Simulator opening in six seconds on an iPhone 13.

Face ID on iPhone 13 models allows for unlocking, accessing third-party passcode protected apps, authenticating app purchases and authenticating Apple Pay payments. It works through cameras, sensors and a Dot Projector which projects over 30,000 invisible infrared dots onto the skin surface for authentication purposes.

Huawei P40 Pro

If you’re in search of an attractive phone with premium materials and powerful hardware at an attractive price, the Huawei P40 Pro may be an ideal candidate. Notably, it is also the first device from Chinese manufacturer Huawei to support eSIM technology which allows users to store multiple SIM cards simultaneously on one device.

The Huawei P40 Pro runs Android 10 right out of the box and features its fastest chipset ever: Kirin 990. Featuring an octa-core CPU with separate neural processing unit (NPU), 5G connectivity is ensured through an inbuilt modem.

Oppo Find X5 Lite

Oppo Find X5 Lite is an esim-compatible phone available in multiple colors; its Starry Black model draws inspiration from the night sky for an eye-catching aesthetic.

This phone features a plastic back that is fingerprint-proof, though its finish feels less premium than other phones in its price range. Unfortunately, however, it lacks an IP rating which protects against water and dust penetration; thus you should exercise caution if using in damp environments.

The Lite offers the same display as its more expensive siblings: a 6.4-inch full HD+ display with 432ppi density. While its refresh rate may not match rival devices, that should not pose much of a problem since this device is intended to conserve battery life under low refresh-rate situations.
