One of the best things about modern-day smartphones is the fact that you are getting eSIM capabilities. This ensures that you never really have to use a physical SIM in your smartphone and continue using your phone with full coverage without any issues. However, there are some issues when it comes to changing your device because you cannot just transfer your current eSIM to a new phone whenever you upgrade. Well, Google is bring a change to Android that will make things better and more straightforward.
Google’s new eSIM transfer feature is coming to all Android phones later this year, with Deutsche Telekom being the first carrier to support it
This is not the first time we heard about this. A month ago, it was discovered that Google is working on a feature that will let you transfer your eSIM from your old Android phone to a newer one, and while at that time we didn’t know if it will ever see the light of day, Google has finally gone ahead and announced the new feature at MWC 2023.
However, Google has also mentioned that this feature will be coming out later this year, probably with the release of Android 14. But what’s more important is that this will also need to be enabled on your carrier’s side. The search engine giant has mentioned that the eSIM transfer feature will be offered by Deutsche Telekom as the first company.
Once the feature starts rolling out to more carriers, you will have a lot easier time transferring your eSIM from an older phone to a new phone. Google has mentioned that you will no longer need a physical SIM, making the process all the more accessible.
Last but not least, Google has also mentioned how this feature is going to come to all Android devices later this year. We suspect that it will start rolling out with Android 14. The more interesting thing to look forward to is the implementation of this feature by mobile carriers around the world.
Whatever the case might be, I am happy that this feature is going to come out soon. As someone who upgrades their phone every year, having the ability to transfer their eSIM without having to jump through hoops is definitely a feature that I am looking forward to.
