Hi folks,

What is the cheapest phone available with eSIM support? I would prefer a 5G phone but would also like to know about 4G phone options.
Additionally, where can I find a list of all phones that have eSIM support in India?

Thanks.

If you are ok with used phones then pixel 4a

Pixel devices currently available in india have 1 physical and 1 esim unless you get an international unit from japan or hk

Some higher priced moto phones also have esim support iirc

GSMArena lets you sort phones by features.
Thx...it gives ~300 results but issue is it doesn't say which of those are available in India.

Cheapest options from Google are the Pixel 6a, 7a and 8a.
Cheapest options from Samsung are the Samsung S23 FE and A55.
And talking about Apple, every model starting from the iPhone XR, XS, XS Max supports eSIM and the models from iphone 13 and above support dual eSIM.

Yep so the cheapest option is surprisingly the 7a. May I ask why the need for an eSim instead of a physical one ?
I am trying to get a USA number through tello. To activate tello account from outside the USA, I need an eSIM.
I do not know what other options there are to obtain a USA phone number while staying in India. If anyone knows, pls inform.

PS: The USA number I am looking for needs to be able to receive OTP codes from USA financial institutions.

Unfortunately, this discount doesn't show up for me. Where are you located pls?
