Can I use both a physical nano-SIM and an eSIM on the Honor Magic8?

Yes, if your carrier and model allow it. the Honor Magic8 supports the "nano-SIM + eSIM" (Dual SIM) configuration in many countries. This allows you to keep your primary number while adding an eSIM, for example for travel.

Do I need to activate the eSIM immediately after purchase?

The validity period of an eSIM depends on the plan chosen and the activation method. In general, it begins when you first connect to the local operator's network. To ensure a smooth trip, we recommend activating your eSIM one week in advance. This will allow you to verify that everything is working properly and avoid any unexpected issues.

Is an eSIM more secure than a physical SIM card?
