Scroll down to view the “DIGITAL SIM” section. It should contain a “DIGITAL SIM” IMEI, which means that the device is eSIM compatible.

Go to Settings
In Settings you see a search bar, type in “IMEI”, and the option “IMEI information” (or similar) should show up (otherwise, you will need to go to About phone> Status).
Tap “IMEI information”
If the “IMEI (eSIM)” is available it should mean that your device supports eSIM.
Call your carrier customer service and quote your IMEI number, they will be able to tell you if your phone is “locked” or “unlocked”.
