Honor pattern: Almost all recent UK Honor models support eSIM: the Magic Pro flagships from Magic4 Pro (2022) onward, the Magic V foldables, and the 90, 200 and 400 number series. China-origin units do not have eSIM.

Dual eSIM: no, the Magic V5 runs one active eSIM at a time (usually alongside the physical SIM).

Model level answers have limits, especially with grey imports and regional variants. To test the actual Magic V5 in your hand:

  1. Open the dialler and dial *#06#.
  2. Look for an EID: a 32 digit number shown alongside the IMEI.
  3. EID present = the phone has eSIM hardware. No EID = no eSIM.

You can also check Settings > About phone for an EID entry.

A separate question

Is the Magic V5 supported on the ONSIM network? No

Whether a phone has eSIM and whether it works on a specific network are different questions. The Honor Magic V5 is not on the ONSIM supported device list, so it will not work on the ONSIM network even if the handset itself supports eSIM. ONSIM is explicit that unlisted devices will not work and it is unable to troubleshoot them. A Virtual Landline (which diverts calls to the phone you already have, on any network) works with every phone.
