Could your next Pixel finally have a SIM slot? Google is reportedly shipping Pixel 10 Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) units with physical SIM support in the US.
This unexpected development follows previous reports indicating the Pixel 10 would rely solely on eSIM technology, potentially frustrating users. Currently, only about 42% of US mobile connections are eSIM, according to recent data.
However, some unlocked Pixel 10 owners are facing issues with Visible, a popular MVNO, highlighting a flawed system. Visible's reliance on eSIM has left some users stranded with phones they can't activate.
The availability of physical SIM support in RMA units suggests Google may be addressing user concerns and offering a more versatile option. We'll be watching closely to see if this becomes a standard feature for future Pixel releases.
