Device checker
Search the model. Then read the regional catch before you pay for a QR code you cannot install.
Most iPhones from the XS (2018), Galaxy S20 / Note 20 / Z Fold2 and later, and Pixel 3 and later support eSIM. The three exceptions that still catch travellers: a US iPhone 14 or newer is eSIM-only, a mainland-China iPhone is often dual physical SIM with no eSIM, and a carrier-locked Android can block a travel profile even when the spec sheet says yes. Confirm the EID with *#06# or Settings → Cellular / SIMs → Add eSIM before you buy.

How to confirm on the device you already own
A catalog row is a starting point. The EID on this handset is the proof.
Dial *#06#. If an EID (32 digits) appears next to IMEI, the radio can hold an eSIM. No EID almost always means no eSIM.
iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM. Android: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Add eSIM. If the row is missing, the unit is not provisioned for eSIM.
A carrier-locked phone can show eSIM in the spec and still reject a travel QR code. If SIM-unlock is pending, unlock first.
Only after the add-eSIM screen exists should you open a destination page and buy. Installing on airport Wi-Fi the night before is safer than at the gate.
What we list, brand by brand
The checker covers the models travellers actually search. Incompatible popular phones stay in the list on purpose, so a search returns a clear no.

US-sold iPhone 14, 15, 16 and 17 have no nano-SIM tray. They run two eSIMs at once. A travel eSIM works; a physical local SIM from a bodega does not. Non-US iPhones in the same generation still have a tray plus eSIM.
Most China-retail iPhones keep two physical nano-SIM slots and omit eSIM. A Hong Kong or Japanese unit of the same year is usually the opposite. Buy the travel eSIM only after *#06# shows an EID.
Galaxy A54 / A55 / A56 often have eSIM in the EU unlocked model and lack it on some US or Latin-American carrier SKUs. Pixel 3a units sold in Japan, Australia and Taiwan were frequently eSIM-less. The model name is not enough.
Concrete devices, not a logo wall
One nano-SIM + one eSIM, dual eSIM storage. A Japan or USA travel eSIM installs beside the home line. Keep the French SIM for SMS/2FA and use the eSIM for data.
eSIM-only. You can hold the US carrier line and a travel eSIM together. There is no tray for a Thai tourist SIM. That is a feature, not a defect — just buy digital.
Typically dual nano-SIM, no eSIM. The same “iPhone 15” search that is yes in Europe is no here. Check the EID. If it is missing, this tool cannot invent a radio.
Usually eSIM-ready. The same A54 from some US prepaid brands is not. If Add eSIM is missing, do not assume a software update will add it.
Among the cleanest yes answers. Dual SIM (eSIM + eSIM or eSIM + physical, depending on year). Still unlock a carrier-locked US Pixel before a travel profile.
No eSIM. An older iPhone needs a physical travel SIM or a Wi-Fi strategy. Do not buy a QR-only plan for these handsets.
A working radio still needs the right pack. Use the GB calculator, then compare live prices for the country you will enter first.
iPhone XS, XS Max, XR and every iPhone since 2018, including SE 2020 and SE 2022. iPhone 8, X and the 2016 SE are not. US iPhone 14 and newer are eSIM-only. Many mainland-China iPhones still have no eSIM.
Often yes on European unlocked units, often no on some carrier variants. Open Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM. If the row is absent, that A54 cannot take a travel eSIM.
Dial *#06# and look for an EID. Then open the Add eSIM screen. An EID plus that screen is the only reliable yes. Spec pages lie by region.
Usually not until the carrier unlocks it. eSIM support and network lock are different switches. Unlock first, then install the QR code on Wi-Fi.
Cellular iPad Pro (2018+), iPad Air (2019+), iPad mini (2019+) and iPad (10th gen+) can. Wi-Fi-only iPads cannot. Most Android tablets are Wi-Fi only — check for an EID.
The radio often supports eSIM, but there is no Google Play. Some providers’ Android apps will not install. Prefer a provider that lets you add the eSIM from a QR code in the system SIM settings.
