No.Xiaomi's spec page for the Xiaomi MIX 4 lists a dual nano SIM slot and no eSIM. Xiaomi only sold the MIX 4 in China, and its global sites have no MIX 4 page.
Wondering if your Xiaomi MIX 4 can take an eSIM before a trip? This guide shows what Xiaomi says, how to check your own phone, which Xiaomi phones do list eSIM, and what to do for mobile data abroad.
Does the Xiaomi MIX 4 support eSIM?
Not according to Xiaomi. Here's what we found on Xiaomi's own pages, checked in November 2026.
What Xiaomi's MIX 4 spec page says
- China (the only spec page): under network and bands, Xiaomi lists "SA/NSA dual mode, dual SIM" and "dual Nano-SIM card slots" (our translation of the Chinese text), with dual SIM 5G and dual SIM VoLTE. There's no eSIM line anywhere in the specs (Xiaomi MIX 4 specs, mi.com China).
- Global, UK, India, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Russia: Xiaomi's sites for these regions have no MIX 4 spec page, so there's no other regional version to compare.
For comparison, a Xiaomi spec page for a phone with eSIM says so in plain words. The Xiaomi 13 page lists "nano SIM + nano SIM or nano SIM + eSIM". The MIX 4 page has no such line.
So, is the Xiaomi MIX 4 eSIM compatible?
No. Xiaomi lists two physical nano SIM slots and no eSIM. Xiaomi doesn't give an explicit "no eSIM" statement, so check your own phone with the steps below. The MIX 4 is also not on our list of eSIM supported phones. Looking at another model? Check if the Xiaomi 12X is eSIM compatible.
What about the Xiaomi MIX Flip?
Many readers ask the same question about the newer MIX Flip. Xiaomi's Global spec page lists "Dual SIM (nano SIM + nano SIM)", with a note that dual SIM may vary by region, and no eSIM (Xiaomi MIX Flip specs, Global). So the global MIX Flip doesn't list eSIM either. Not sure about the Xiaomi Mi 11i? See if it is eSIM compatible.
How to check if your Xiaomi has eSIM
Not sure which Xiaomi you have, or want to be sure? 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
Xiaomi lists two nano SIM slots for the MIX 4. Take a look at your SIM tray and the model name in your settings.
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 other models. Xiaomi's global spec pages list eSIM on these:
- Xiaomi 12T Pro: "nano SIM + eSIM and nano SIM + nano SIM" (Xiaomi 12T Pro specs).
- Xiaomi 13: "nano SIM + nano SIM or nano SIM + eSIM" (Xiaomi 13 specs). More in our Xiaomi 13 eSIM guide.
- Xiaomi 13 Lite: "nano SIM + nano SIM or nano SIM + eSIM" (Xiaomi 13 Lite specs). See our Xiaomi 13 Lite eSIM guide.
- Xiaomi 13T Pro: "nano SIM + nano SIM or nano SIM + eSIM" (Xiaomi 13T Pro specs). See our Xiaomi 13T Pro eSIM guide.
Xiaomi adds that eSIM availability can vary by country, region and carrier.
Travelling with a Xiaomi MIX 4
Your MIX 4 has no eSIM, so a travel eSIM can't be installed on it. For data abroad, your options are your home carrier's roaming or a local physical SIM card. Our guide explains how data roaming works.
Travelling with a second phone that has eSIM, or upgrading 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, and our eSIM install guide. These are data-only plans for Europe, Asia and the USA. Check that the phone supports eSIM first.
