Xiaomi has only introduced the eSIM service on a few models at the moment. You will only be able to use an eSIM if you have a Xiaomi 12T Pro or one of the new Xiaomi 13 series smartphones. You can also use a Xiaomi eSIM on some of its most powerful smartwatches.

By using multiSIM you can turn your mobile phone into a dualSIM device. You have the option of using two conventional cards or combining a physical card with an embedded card or eSIM. The virtual card has some advantages, such as the immediacy to get a new card, or the lower costs as it does not require physical support or shipping.

In addition, one of the first uses of eSIM by carriers was to offer a deal for use in a smartwatch, and this is also possible with Xiaomi.
