The Redmi Note series began adding eSIM with the Note 13 Pro+ 5G Global variant. Critically: eSIM is NOT available on Indian variants (model numbers ending in IN or BN) — which are the versions sold on Amazon.in and Flipkart. If you bought a Redmi Note in India, you almost certainly have the variant without eSIM hardware.
Key Takeaways
- Global variant (EEA model, no IN/BN suffix): eSIM supported on Note 13 Pro+ and newer Pro models.
- Indian variant (IN/BN model suffix): NO eSIM hardware.
- CN ROM variant: NO eSIM hardware.
- HyperOS activation path: Settings → Mobile network → Manage eSIM.
Does the Redmi Note Series Support eSIM?
Selectively. eSIM is available on Global variants of the Note 13 Pro+ 5G, Note 14 Pro, Note 14 Pro+, and Note 15 Pro.
Indian variant warning: Redmi Note models sold in India carry the IN or BN model number suffix and have no eSIM hardware. This is a physical hardware difference — it is not a software lock and cannot be resolved by installing a Global ROM. If you purchased your device through Amazon.in, Flipkart, or a local Indian retailer, check your model number at Settings → About phone → Model before purchasing an eSIM.
CN ROM warning: Same situation for Chinese domestic (CN) variants — no eSIM hardware present.

Troubleshooting Redmi Note eSIM
"eSIM not available" or "Manage eSIM" missing: Your device is either an Indian (IN/BN suffix) or Chinese (CN) variant without eSIM hardware. Check model number at Settings → About phone. If confirmed non-Global, there is no software fix — the chip is absent.
"Add eSIM" not visible on Global variant: Device may be carrier-locked. On HyperOS, the path is Settings → Mobile network → SIM cards & mobile networks → Manage eSIM. If Manage eSIM is absent on a confirmed Global model, contact your carrier.
eSIM installed but no data abroad: Settings → Mobile network → select Roamix eSIM → enable Data Roaming → set as default data SIM. Toggle Airplane Mode on/off to re-register.
Purchased on Amazon.in but need eSIM: The Amazon India listing for Redmi Note 13 Pro+ and 14 Pro are the IN variants without eSIM. You would need to source the Global variant (EEA) from an international retailer.
