Huawei Pura Series

The Huawei Pura series — Pura 70, 70 Pro, 70 Pro+, 70 Ultra, and Pura 80 — is Huawei's camera-focused flagship line released from 2024. Global variants support eSIM. CN ROM variants sold in mainland China do not have eSIM hardware, and all post-2020 Huawei phones lack Google Play Services.

Key Takeaways

• Global variants of the Pura 70 and 80 series: eSIM supported.
• CN ROM variants: NO eSIM hardware — cannot be resolved by software.
• No Google Play Services on any post-2020 Huawei — only Huawei AppGallery.
• One eSIM active alongside one physical nano-SIM (not Dual eSIM).

Does the Huawei Pura Series Support eSIM?

Yes — on global variants. Every model in the Pura lineup includes eSIM hardware on global models sold outside mainland China. CN ROM variants do not have eSIM hardware.

Google services note: Huawei phones released after May 2020 do not have Google Play Services due to US trade restrictions. eSIM and cellular data work normally, but Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube, and Google Play are absent. Huawei AppGallery is the available app store.

Troubleshooting Huawei Pura eSIM

"Add eSIM" option missing in SIM management: Either CN ROM variant (no eSIM hardware) or carrier-locked. Check Settings → About phone → Model. CN ROM model numbers include a CN suffix. If the model is global but the option is absent, contact your carrier for an unlock.

eSIM installed but no data abroad: Settings → Mobile network → SIM management → select Roamix eSIM → set as default data SIM → enable Data Roaming. Toggle Airplane Mode on/off to re-register to a local network.

QR code not scanning: Must be on Wi-Fi during installation. The Roamix QR code is single-use — contact Roamix support for a replacement if already scanned. Tap "Enter activation code" for manual entry.

"This device does not support eSIM": CN ROM hardware confirmed. No update will add eSIM to CN ROM Pura devices — the hardware chip is absent.
