Xiaomi launched the first eSIM phone: 12T Pro
Xiaomi released the Xiaomi 12T series on the October 4 event and for the first time ever a Xiaomi phone comes with eSIM support. Many smartphones have actively used eSIM in the past. Some Android smartphone manufacturers, from Samsung to Google have been supporting eSIM. Apple also has released the iPhone 14 series with eSIM only in US. xiaomi esim
Actually, eSIM technology makes transferring between carriers significantly easier. The programmable SIM card is physically soldered into the motherboard of the smartphone and eSIM cannot be taken out.
Although a non-removable SIM card may seem like a horrible idea, you won’t need one any longer because switching between carriers and phones is now done digitally. If you want to use your SIM on another device or change your carrier to another one, your phone’s settings app is where you change your eSIM and complete the process. The process may vary on each phone.
Xiaomi 12T Pro
It is worth noting that 12T Pro was launched in two sim card configurations— nano SIM + eSIM and nano SIM + nano SIM. Currently, users residing in countries like Germany, Italy, France, Japan, and Malaysia among others can use eSim.
