The detail and the caveats
European model is nano-SIM plus eSIM.
Sony pattern: Every UK-market Xperia 1, 5 and 10 from the 2022 Mark IV generation onward supports eSIM. The eSIM-capable versions are the European single SIM variants (model numbers ending -54); Asian dual nano-SIM variants (-62/-72) do not have eSIM.
Dual eSIM: no, the Xperia 10 VI runs one active eSIM at a time (usually alongside the physical SIM).
Verify your exact unit in 10 seconds
Model level answers have limits, especially with grey imports and regional variants. To test the actual Xperia 10 VI in your hand:
- Open the dialler and dial *#06#.
- Look for an EID: a 32 digit number shown alongside the IMEI.
- 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 Xperia 10 VI supported on the ONSIM network? No
Whether a phone has eSIM and whether it works on a specific network are different questions. The Sony Xperia 10 VI 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.
