Just with the chip soldered-on instead of having a SIM slot. Here’s a guide on XDA forum on how you can just solder eSIM chip onto regular SIM contact pads and manage the eUICC with OpenEUICC Magisk module on OnePlus 11. Osmocom reports some devices may recognize it as internal eUICC if the OS has LPA software. By the way, there’s also lpa-gtk, based on lpac which allows use of eSIM on some Linux phones.
