Do Chinese OPPO Models Support eSIM?

Chinese, Hong Kong, and Macao OPPO variants have historically lacked eSIM hardware. OPPO began rolling out eSIM on Chinese-market devices from 2025 onwards (starting with the Find X9 series), but this is limited to domestic carrier activation and may not work with international travel eSIM providers like Nomad. If your OPPO was purchased in China, confirm eSIM compatibility with your carrier before purchasing a plan.

How To Check If My Oppo Phone is eSIM Compatible?

Method 1: Settings

1. Go to Settings → SIM Card & Mobile Data
2. Look for Add eSIM or Add mobile plan
3. If the option exists, your device supports eSIM

Method 2: Dial *#06#

Dial *#06#. If a 32-digit EID appears alongside your IMEI, eSIM hardware is present.

Method 3: Check Your Model Number

Go to Settings → About Device and note your exact model number. Cross-reference it against the list above. Some OPPO model numbers differ between regional variants despite sharing the same name.

Method 4: Nomad eSIM Device Checker

Use the Nomad eSIM device compatibility checker to confirm instantly.
