eSIM and Sailfish OS

So, no dual sim use in X10V (XQ-DC54) then :thinking:… and XQ-DC72 is not on the list of supported devices, why XQ-DC54 was the device to go for…
:put_litter_in_its_place:

Then my 10III has to last a bit longer.

We have decided to support the variant XQ-DC72, too. It has two physical SIM slots, one of which can be used for a SIM card or an SD card. Our documents need an update. XQ-DC72 shares the code base with XQ-DC54 but requires a different configuration. We will create dedicated flashable images for these two variants.

XQ-DC54 has the eSIM, one physical SIM slot and an SD card slot. Unfortunately, Sailfish does not support the eSIM. Therefore, XQ-DC54 works as a single SIM phone.

Not 100% Sailfish related but may still be interesting to get some background information on eSIM:
