Google eSIM models

eSIM on Google phones

On Google devices an eSIM is added from the settings menu with a QR code; no extra app is needed. Several eSIM profiles can be stored on the same phone, and you choose in settings which line uses mobile data.

Compatibility depends not only on the model family but also on the sales country and carrier lock. Each model page below lists regional notes, covered sub-models and similar devices.
