Is the Sony Xperia 10 VIII eSIM compatible?

It depends. eSIM support on the Sony Xperia 10 VIII (2026) varies by unit or region, so check your exact handset before buying a plan.

Verified against the manufacturer and UK carrier sources. Data last updated 2026-09-01.

The detail and the caveats

Announced 25 August 2026 with UK sales from September 2026. Sony has not yet published the UK model code or Help Guide, and it splits eSIM by variant on the 10 series (the 10 VII has eSIM on XQ-FE54 but not XQ-FE72), so treat as unconfirmed and check for an EID with *#06#.

Sony pattern: Every UK-market Xperia 1, 5 and 10 from the 2022 Mark IV generation onward supports eSIM, including the 2026 Xperia 1 VIII. The eSIM-capable versions are the European single SIM variants (model numbers ending -54); Asian dual nano-SIM variants (-62/-72/-74) do not have eSIM.

Dual eSIM: not applicable, since standard eSIM support is unit dependent on this model.

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 VIII 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 Xperia 10 VIII 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 VIII 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.

How do I check if my Sony Xperia 10 VIII has eSIM?

Dial *#06# on the Xperia 10 VIII. If an EID (a 32 digit number) appears alongside the IMEI, your unit has eSIM hardware; no EID means no eSIM. You can also open Settings > About phone and look for an EID entry. This checks your exact handset, which matters for grey imports and regional variants.

Can I use two eSIMs at once on the Sony Xperia 10 VIII?

Not applicable in the usual sense: eSIM support on the Xperia 10 VIII is unit dependent, so verify yours first with *#06#.

Does the Sony Xperia 10 VIII work with ONSIM?
