The REDMAGIC 9 Pro does not list native eSIM support in the manufacturer’s official specification. REDMAGIC describes the global model as using dual nano-SIM, so a standard downloadable travel eSIM should not be purchased for this phone unless your exact regional variant independently shows an EID and an Add eSIM menu.
The model name alone is not enough when buying a travel plan. Check the exact regional device and its SIM settings before payment.
NoveSIM plans require a compatible, carrier-unlocked device that can install an eSIM profile.
Quick answer: Official REDMAGIC 9 Pro specifications list two nano-SIMs and do not list eSIM. If the phone has no EID or Add eSIM option, use a physical SIM, pocket Wi-Fi or a compatible second device instead.
What Does the Official REDMAGIC Specification Say?
The official REDMAGIC 9 Pro specification identifies the SIM configuration as dual nano-SIM. It lists supported cellular bands but does not identify an embedded SIM or downloadable SIM profile. That is stronger evidence than an unofficial compatibility list.
Regional versions can differ, so record the model number under Settings → About phone and compare it with the manufacturer page for that sales market.
How to Check the Phone Itself
- Open Settings and search for eSIM.
- Open the SIM or Mobile Network menu and look for Add eSIM or Download SIM.
- Open About phone and look for an EID.
- Dial *#06# and check whether an EID appears alongside the IMEI numbers.
If the phone shows only two physical SIM slots and no EID, it cannot install a normal eSIM profile. The general eSIM compatibility checklist explains these checks in more detail.
Does a Software Update Add eSIM?
A normal update cannot add missing eSIM hardware. Do not install unofficial firmware or use an unverified adapter simply to force compatibility; this can affect security, stability and support.
Travel Internet Alternatives
- Buy a physical prepaid SIM that supports the phone’s bands.
- Use a pocket Wi-Fi device and connect the REDMAGIC 9 Pro over Wi-Fi.
- Install NoveSIM on a compatible unlocked phone and share data only when that plan permits hotspot use.
- Use home-carrier roaming after confirming the cost and allowance.
If using a second phone, check the NoveSIM-compatible device list and the live destination plans before buying.

FAQ
Does REDMAGIC 9 Pro support eSIM?
The official global specification lists dual nano-SIM and does not list eSIM support. Check the exact regional model for an EID or Add eSIM option before purchasing.
Can an update enable eSIM on REDMAGIC 9 Pro?
Not when the required eSIM hardware is absent. A standard software update cannot create that hardware.
Can I scan an eSIM QR code anyway?
No useful installation can occur without an eSIM-capable menu and EID. Do not buy a profile until compatibility is confirmed.
What should I use instead?
Use a physical SIM, pocket Wi-Fi, carrier roaming or a compatible second phone.
Final Recommendation
For REDMAGIC 9 Pro eSIM compatibility, rely on the exact device and official specification: the global model is listed with dual nano-SIM rather than eSIM.
Verify the absence of an EID and Add eSIM option before choosing an alternative.
Buy a NoveSIM plan only for a separate device that is confirmed compatible and unlocked.
