deal for you.
• This feature may vary depending on your network provider.
• This feature is only available in some countries and regions.
• This feature may vary by device.
Apply for an eSIM Card
Contact your carrier to apply for an eSIM card.
You need to provide the embedded-SIM ID (EID) information when applying for an eSIM
card. This information is related to whether your device has a built-in eSIM smart chipset. To
view this information, go to Settings > About phone > Show EID. If the EID information is
not displayed, it indicates that this feature is not supported on your device.
• You can apply for multiple eSIM cards, the maximum number of which is determined
by the eSIM chipset capacity of your device. If the number of eSIM cards you apply for
has exceeded the limit, you will see a prompt on your device indicating that you cannot
add any more eSIM cards.
• Only one eSIM card can be used at a time.
Add an eSIM Card
1 Go to Settings > Mobile network > SIM management.
Settings

the conguration le, and enable the new eSIM card by default.
• Scan the image: If you cannot use the camera to scan the QR code provided by the
network provider (for example, when you are applying for an eSIM card through the
network provider's app), save the QR code provided by the network provider as an
image. Touch Select from Gallery while scanning a QR code, and select the saved QR
code image. Your device will automatically identify the QR code and download and

On the SIM management screen, touch next to SIM 2. Follow the onscreen instructions
to delete the eSIM card.
• Deleting an eSIM card does not mean that you have cancelled the contract with the
network provider. The network provider will continue to charge for the eSIM card. To
stop charges from being incurred, contact your network provider to deregister the eSIM
card service.
• Some eSIM cards cannot be deleted. For details, contact your network provider.
Restore the eSIM Card to Its Factory Settings
• If you select Reset but keep eSIMs when restoring your device to its factory settings, the
eSIM card can still be used after the device is powered on again.

For example:
Settings
145
• When you need to switch your device between portrait and landscape orientation when it is
placed on a surface, just keep your face in front of the screen and rotate your device.
• When you are using your device while lying down, the screen will not change its display
orientation when you change the way you are lying.
The Swing Gesture Sensor is located at the top of the screen. To ensure that the sensor
can eectively identify your face orientation, keep your face in front of the screen during
use.
Why Can't the Screen Rotate Intelligently?
The possible causes are as follows:
• Your device comes equipped with the Swing Gesture Sensor to detect the face direction.
Therefore, you need to ensure that the sensor can detect faces.
– Do not cover the sensor, which is located in the upper left corner of the screen.
– Look straight at the screen and keep a distance of 40–60 cm away from the sensor.
– The sensor works better in a well-lit environment.
• Landscape display is not supported in some apps (such as navigation or game apps) and
the home screen.
