Sony Xperia 1 IV and eSIM: what to know

The Sony Xperia 1 IV supports eSIM, so you can add a digital line next to your physical nano-SIM. Several eSIM profiles can be stored on the phone, but only a limited number are active at the same time. Availability can vary by region and model version, so check that your variant shows the eSIM option.

Where to add it: open Settings > Network & internet > SIMs, then tap Add SIM (or the "+" icon) and choose to download a SIM / scan a QR code. Menu names can differ slightly between Android versions.
Find your EID: go to Settings > About phone and look for the EID, or dial *#06# to see it on screen.
Travel tip: label your eSIM clearly (for example "Travel data") so you can pick it as your mobile data line easily.
Keep calls and texts: leave your main SIM on for calls and SMS, and set only mobile data to the travel eSIM.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM, install the profile on your Xperia 1 IV before you leave, then activate it when you land. Your main number stays reachable, so WhatsApp and calls keep working as usual.
