Probably not.Xiaomi says the Mi 10T Pro doesn't support eSIM. For the Mi 10 Pro, none of Xiaomi's pages we checked mention eSIM, only two SIM cards. Check your phone's settings to be sure.
Many people searching "Mi 10T Pro eSIM" land here, so we cover both phones. The Mi 10 Pro and the Mi 10T Pro are different models. This guide shows what Xiaomi's own pages say, how to check your phone in a minute, and which Xiaomi models do have eSIM.
Does the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro support eSIM?
Probably not. We checked Xiaomi's Mi 10 Pro FAQ pages (Malaysia, Mexico, Russia and others). They describe dual-card settings and Dual SIM Dual Standby, and none of them mention an eSIM. Xiaomi doesn't state it in so many words, so check your own phone with the steps below.
- eSIM: not listed by Xiaomi on the pages we checked.
- SIM setup: dual SIM (Xiaomi: Mi 10 Pro FAQ).
- 5G: yes, in the Mi 10 Pro FAQ, but it depends on your region and carrier.
The old version of this page said no Xiaomi 10 series phone has eSIM. We can't back that up for the Mi 10 Pro from Xiaomi's pages, so we've reworded it. Checking the standard model? See whether the Xiaomi Mi 10 is eSIM compatible.
Does the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro support eSIM?
No. Xiaomi's FAQ for the Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro says they "support 5G networks, and don't support esim card". It adds that they use a Nano SIM + Nano SIM slot design and don't support an external SD card (Xiaomi: Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro FAQ).
The same goes for the Mi 10T, which shares that FAQ. French, Italian, Russian, Dutch and Polish versions of the FAQ exist too. Not the same as the Mi 10T Pro? The Redmi Note 10 Pro is another phone, so look it up on Xiaomi's site.
How to check your Xiaomi's SIM options
Not sure which model you have, or want to be certain? Check the phone itself.
1. Look for an eSIM option in your settings
Xiaomi's menu names depend on your software version. Xiaomi's support pages give two paths on phones that have eSIM:
- Settings > SIM card and mobile networks, then look for Use eSIM and Manage eSIM (Xiaomi: How can I activate eSIM on Xiaomi phones).
- Settings > Mobile networks, then look for Turn on eSIM (the path Xiaomi gives for newer phones such as the 14T: Xiaomi: How to add eSIM on the Xiaomi 14T).
No eSIM option? Then your phone most likely doesn't support eSIM. More ways to check in our guide to checking eSIM compatibility.
2. Check the SIM tray
The Mi 10T Pro has a tray for two nano-SIM cards, according to Xiaomi. If your tray holds two physical SIMs and your settings show no eSIM option, you have no eSIM.
3. Check that a new phone isn't carrier-locked
If you buy a newer Xiaomi with eSIM, remember that a phone locked to your carrier won't take another provider's eSIM. Ask your carrier whether it's unlocked. Here's how to unlock your phone.
Which Xiaomi phones have eSIM?
If you want eSIM, look at newer models. Xiaomi's global spec pages list eSIM on these:
- Xiaomi 12T Pro: "nano SIM + eSIM" (Xiaomi 12T Pro specs). Our Xiaomi 12T guide explains the difference between the 12T and the 12T Pro.
- Xiaomi 13: "nano SIM + nano SIM or nano SIM + eSIM" (Xiaomi 13 specs). More in our Xiaomi 13 eSIM guide.
Xiaomi adds that eSIM availability can vary by country, region and carrier. For other brands and models, see our list of eSIM supported devices. The Mi 11 has no eSIM either, as our Mi 11 guide explains. Checking another Xiaomi? See whether the Xiaomi 12 Pro is eSIM compatible.
Travelling with a Mi 10 Pro or Mi 10T Pro
If your phone has no eSIM, it can't take a travel eSIM. For data abroad you'll need a local physical SIM or your home carrier's roaming. Both phones have two SIM slots, so you can keep your home SIM in one and put a local SIM in the other. Our guide explains how data roaming works.
Travelling with a second phone that has eSIM, or moving to one? Then a travel eSIM gives you mobile data abroad without swapping SIM cards, and your home SIM stays active for calls and texts. Here's how to set up and manage two lines. These are data-only plans for Europe, Asia and the USA. Check that the phone supports eSIM first, since an eSIM can't be installed on a phone without it.
