The Xiaomi 12t pro is the company's first Smartphone launched globally with support for eSIM card (it is built into the device's motherboard)
Η Xiaomi at the event held on October 4, presented his new series Xiaomi 12t, and for the first time the company launched on the world market, a Smartphone (the Xiaomi 12t pro) which has support in eSIM !
Many Android smartphones have been released in the past that have built-in eSIM, such as from Samsung and Google, but also Apple which released the iPhone 14 in the US, which only have eSIM and do not have a slot for adding a normal SIM Card.
What is an eSIM and what is it for?
The "embedded” SIM also known as eSIM is less than one nano-SIM and is permanently embedded in the device. Unlike a conventional SIM card, the eSIM cannot be removed, but can only be replaced via software. Therefore, eSIM is excellent for all devices that are particularly small in dimensions, such as for example smartwatches.
You can also be more flexible and independent with an eSIM. No more wasting time waiting for your new SIM card to arrive in the mail or having to visit a carrier store telecommunications to purchase it and install it on your device.
You can also quickly switch between the different connection plans offered by the operators in an instant, since once you receive the new activation code, you will be able to activate the eSIM card in the new package you have chosen immediately or in just a few minutes.
Also, roaming features will no longer be difficult as you will be able to switch to another provider very easily when you are abroad. Of course, eSIM is also more practical as you will no longer have to look for the little pin-shaped puller to insert or remove the SIM card from the Tray, which always miraculously disappears and we search to find it when we need it. .
Which smartphones and devices use eSIM?
Even three years after eSIMs were first released, even today we still find only a few smartphones with built-in eSIM. But this is not surprising, as eSIM is mainly required in devices that are very small in size. Therefore, it is not surprising that wearable devices such as smartwatches were some of the first devices in the consumer electronics market to use eSIM.
Smartphone with eSIM
Smartphones with eSIM usually have an additional slot (SIM tray) for they also accept the classic plastic SIM card that can be activated and work alongside the eSIM. This hybrid solution is considered a good compromise that will help customers make a smoother transition to the new system with eSIMs.
Usually only one active eSIM it can exist on a Smartphone, but the Apple, has already made progress and allows you to activate two eSIMs at the same time iPhone 13 Pro.
Xiaomi 12T Pro comes with eSIM
We said earlier that the 12T Pro is the first Xiaomi Smartphone to be released globally and to support the eSIM. It Redmi Note 10T it also supports eSIM, but this device is only available in Japan.
Xiaomi has published an official list that includes all telecom operators in Europe that support it eSIM, and as far as Greece is concerned, they have declared only the Cosmote and Vodafone and they have not included her Wind-Nova.
In the list of compatible Smartphones there is only its global version Xiaomi 12T Pro that it supports eSIM, and you can see the full list from this link.

I purchased a Xiaomi 12T pro phone unfortunately הרב אופציה ל-ESIM לא הפיעע . after בירור שקרטיטי it was told that I should reset the factory settings and so I did. after the installation, I could see the ESIM option and the EID number under: about phone, all details, status.
after about two weeks “נעלמה” (נמחקה ) אופציה של ה-ESIM . I tried again to use the factory settings but this time the ESIM option did not appear even though I tried several times. The device supports ESIM, but the option to use ESIM does not appear. I would appreciate it if you guide me how to return the ESIM option to use.
