Key information
- A post on X suggests that Google is moving away from physical SIM cards for the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL in favor of eSIM technology.
- While the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is said to retain a physical SIM tray, the previously mentioned models may exclusively adopt eSIM in the U.S.
- Recent speculations have surfaced regarding promotional materials highlighting Google’s “Pixelsnap” wireless charging accessory and other products prior to their launch.
- The event hosted by Google is scheduled for August 20.
Speculations suggest that the forthcoming Pixel 10 series might introduce a significant change that consumers will need to carefully evaluate.
Insider Evan Blass shared another update on X this afternoon (Aug 8), asserting that Google’s upcoming lineup could entirely eliminate the physical SIM tray. The rumor indicates that this change might only apply to the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL, while it appears the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will continue to have a physical SIM tray (if this holds true).
Blass mentions that the devices reportedly dropping the physical SIM option will offer “two active eSIM slots” for users.
