eSIM on Xiaomi: Supported Models and Setup Instructions

🔍 What is eSIM and why you need it

eSIM is a built-in SIM card without a physical slot. It allows you to connect a plan remotely: via QR code or an app. Convenient for travel, working with two phone numbers, and quickly switching operators without visiting a store.

📱 Supported global Xiaomi versions

eSIM is supported only on global (Global) device versions. Russian and Chinese versions do not support it.

• Xiaomi 14, 14 Pro, 14T, 14T Pro

⚙️ How to set up eSIM on Xiaomi

❌ Common user mistakes

• Device doesn't show eSIM option — likely not a global firmware version.

• eSIM won't activate — check your internet connection and restart the device.
• Profile already in use — each QR code is one-time use, request a new one from your operator.
