The ten-second test: dial *#06#. If you see an EID, your phone supports eSIM.

It also needs to be unlocked

A phone bought on a carrier contract can be locked to that carrier, and then refuses other eSIMs. On iPhone: Settings › General › About › Carrier Lock should say “No SIM restrictions”. On Android, ask your carrier or try any other SIM.

Phones bought in mainland China, Hong Kong or Macau

Most iPhones sold there take two physical SIMs and have no eSIM. Some Hong Kong and Macau models (iPhone XS, SE, 12 mini, 13 mini) do. iPhone Air has eSIM only, everywhere. When in doubt, the *#06# test decides.
