Poco is a Xiaomi sub-brand — its phones share Xiaomi hardware platforms and the same CN ROM / global variant split. The F5 Pro, F6, F6 Pro, F7, and F7 Pro support eSIM on global variants. CN ROM variants sold in mainland China and through Chinese importers do not have eSIM hardware.
Key Takeaways
- Poco F5 Pro, F6, F6 Pro, F7, F7 Pro global variants: eSIM supported.
- CN ROM variants: NO eSIM hardware — same hardware split as Xiaomi parent brand.
- One eSIM active alongside one physical nano-SIM (not Dual eSIM).
- HyperOS path: Settings → Mobile network → SIM cards & mobile networks → Manage eSIM.
Does the Poco F Series Support eSIM?
Yes — on global variants. Because Poco phones are built on Xiaomi hardware, they have the same CN ROM / global hardware split: CN ROM (Chinese domestic) variants have no eSIM chip. Confirm your model at Settings → About phone → Model. CN ROM model numbers include a CN suffix.
HyperOS vs MIUI: Newer Poco F7 series run HyperOS. The activation path is Settings → Mobile network → SIM cards & mobile networks → Manage eSIM → Add eSIM. On MIUI 14, the path is Settings → SIM card & mobile network → Add eSIM.

Troubleshooting Poco F Series eSIM
"Manage eSIM" or "Add eSIM" missing: Either CN ROM variant (no eSIM hardware) or carrier-locked. Check Settings → About phone → Model. CN ROM includes CN suffix. If global model, contact your carrier for unlock. On HyperOS, the full path is Settings → Mobile network → SIM cards & mobile networks → Manage eSIM.
eSIM installed but no data abroad: Settings → Mobile network → select Roamix eSIM → set as default data SIM → enable Data Roaming. Toggle Airplane Mode on/off to re-register.
QR code scan fails: Must be on Wi-Fi. Roamix QR is single-use — contact support for a replacement if already scanned. Use "Enter activation code" for manual SM-DP+ entry.
"eSIM feature not available": CN ROM hardware confirmed. The eSIM chip is physically absent — cannot be fixed by flashing Global ROM on CN hardware.
