List of mobile devices that support eSIM on the market

eSIM is indeed one of the most convenient applications of technology nowadays. An eSIM, short for Embedded SIM, is an electronic SIM Card that replaces traditional plastic SIM Cards. eSIM retains the functions of a regular SIM but in a smaller form factor (approximately 6mm in height, 5 mm in length, and 0.67 mm in thickness).
