Along with processors, screens and batteries, SIM cards have also been updated over the years. We have gone through different sizes, from the typical SIM to the nanoSIM, but also different technologies leading to the eSIM .
eSIM technology says goodbye to physical cards, avoiding the need to insert a card into our Xiaomi in order to associate a phone number. With this we achieve countless advantages, from the most obvious, that is, not having to insert a physical card into our smartphone, to others focused on improving and making the possibilities simpler.
What are the advantages of the eSIM?
By getting rid of SIM cards, eSIM technology makes it easier for us to associate a phone number with our smartphone without having to go to a physical store . The eSIM also makes it easier for us to register a new number since many operators allow us to do this process online.
In addition, the eSIM makes things easier, making them simpler. In general, the time taken to change operators is considerably reduced , since we will not have to change cards, we simply have to configure the new eSIM from our mobile.
Another great advantage is the possibility of associating an eSIM with our smartphone from any country, that is, we can associate it with more than one operator from different countries . This will also make our trips easier, being able to configure an eSIM from the country we are going to on vacation and thus have it available from the moment we land.
Lastly, and more obviously, there are other advantages. Thanks to the eSIM, we can forget about having to look for an extractor pin to open the SIM card tray of our Xiaomi, REDMI or POCO. In addition, by not using a physical card, we will reduce the wear and tear on the contacts to connect the SIM.
Xiaomi mobiles with eSIM: compatible models
In recent years, Xiaomi has expanded its range of mobile phones that are compatible or support eSIM . Although this technology was only found in the most expensive models, now the mid-range also adds support:
- Xiaomi 14
- Xiaomi 14T, Xiaomi 14T Pro
- Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro, Xiaomi 13 Ultra, Xiaomi 13 Lite
- Xiaomi 13T, Xiaomi 13T Pro
- Xiaomi 12T Pro
- Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G
- Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G
As can be seen, Xiaomi is not only adding eSIM support to its high-end phones , but also to other models such as the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G and the new Redmi Note 14 Pro . However, for some reason the Xiaomi 14 Ultra does not add this technology, at least that is what its official website specifies.
