What Xiaomi says about the Xiaomi 13 Pro SIM setup
- Global: the spec page lists "Dual SIM (nano SIM + nano SIM or nano SIM + eSIM)" (Xiaomi 13 Pro specs, Global).
- Same line on other regional Xiaomi sites: UK, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, Turkey, Czech Republic, Russia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Saudi Arabia. Here are the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Turkey, Singapore and Thailand pages.
- The small print: using eSIM needs a wireless service plan, and "eSIM availability may vary depending on country/region and carrier." Xiaomi points to its eSIM support page.
- Not confirmed: Xiaomi's German, Indian, Indonesian, Philippine and Ukrainian sites returned "not found" for the Xiaomi 13 Pro, and the South African site has no spec page. We found no spec page for mainland China either. If you bought your phone in one of those places, check the box and your carrier before you rely on eSIM.
Is the Xiaomi 13 Pro dual SIM?
Yes. Xiaomi's line means you can use two nano SIMs, or one nano SIM plus one eSIM. It does not say you can use two eSIMs at once, so we don't promise that. Eyeing the Mi 11 Ultra? Check if the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is eSIM compatible.

How to check if your Xiaomi 13 Pro has eSIM
1. Look at the box or the model name
Check that your phone is a Xiaomi 13 Pro and where it was sold. Phones sold in regions we could not confirm may differ.
2. Look for an eSIM option in Settings
Open Settings and look in the SIM or mobile network menu for an option to add or download an eSIM. Menu names change with your software version and region, so we can't give you one exact path. If you see the option, your phone can add an eSIM.
3. Look for the EID
A phone with an eSIM chip has an EID. Read more about what an EID number is and other ways to check eSIM compatibility.
4. Check that your phone isn't carrier-locked
If you bought the phone on a contract, your carrier may have locked it. Xiaomi notes that eSIM plans can come with limits on switching providers. Ask your carrier, or read how to unlock your phone.
Using a travel eSIM on your Xiaomi 13 Pro
A travel eSIM lets you get mobile data abroad without swapping your SIM. Your own SIM can stay in the slot for calls and texts, while the eSIM handles data. Keep your QR code until the eSIM works. Our eSIM install guide has the steps, and this guide shows how to manage two lines. If it won't activate, read what to do when your eSIM won't activate.
Heading to Europe, the USA or Asia? These are data-only plans, with no phone number. Check that your phone shows the eSIM option and is unlocked before you buy. Going to Europe? See eSIMs for Europe.
