Sony and eSIM
Sony has included eSIM since the 2022 generation — Xperia 1 IV, 5 IV and 10 IV onward — so all three lines work with travel eSIM.

Things to know
- Japanese carrier Xperias carry different model codes from the global units, so the SIM spec does not always match.
- Second-hand Japanese units are popular here — check the SIM menu and the network lock before you count on eSIM.
