Good evening brightrail
Unfortunately, I can't tell you whether the eSIM is working properly. There is an option to activate the eSIM in the settings menu. If you want to switch it on, you are told that the 2nd SIM card will be deactivated. If I understand correctly, the employees can work with a maximum of 2 SIM cards.
- Variant 1 One or two physical SIM cards
- Variant 2 One physical and one eSIM
The option is available in the settings menu, as with other Android versions. I assume that it works, as this also works with other Redmi devices. To be absolutely sure, you need to contact Xiaomi.
I would like to say a few words about the smartphone. Fully satisfied to date. Does what it's supposed to, set-up and data transfer is easy if you know your way around. The camera exceeds my expectations for a smartphone in this price range. It's just a shame that it doesn't come with a charger.
Hope you get a useful answer.
I wish you a healthy and successful time.
Best regards

I don't use this feature and can't answer this question.

I do not use this function and cannot answer this question.

Sorry, I don't need the eSIM, so I have no experience with it
