According to news on January 29, the convenience of eSIM card is that you can easily switch operators without a physical card. However, migrating eSIM from one device to another is a troublesome matter, and the process of each operator is different. Different and complex. To solve this problem, Google launched an eSIM migration tool at MWC 2023 last year, and Samsung later added this feature in One UI 5.1, but at that time it was limited to migration between Samsung devices.
Now, this restriction is about to be lifted. Samsung appears to be making its eSIM migration tool compatible with other Android phones, as the feature has arrived in One UI 6.1, and the first models to ship with this new version of One UI are the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24, and Galaxy S24 Ultra. Mishaal Rahman, editor-in-chief of technology website Android Police, has successfully migrated eSIM from Pixel 8 Pro to Galaxy S24 Ultra via QR code. Currently, the feature only supports eSIMs on the T-Mobile network in the US. Note that Google said last year that the first operator to support the eSIM migration tool will be Deutsche Telekom, the parent company of T-Mobile, which means that more operators around the world may begin to support the eSIM migration tool for Android phones. Samsung previously used its own eSIM migration solution in One UI 5.1, but now it seems to have switched to Google's eSIM migration solution, popping up a menu provided by Google Play Services on nearby Android devices. This is a big step towards standardizing eSIM registration and migration for Android devices. All Android phones equipped with Google's eSIM migration tool will support eSIM migration between cross-brand Android devices, but it is still subject to operator support. It would be even better if Apple and Google could work together to enable eSIM migration between iOS/iPadOS and Android.The above is the detailed content of You can also use the Samsung eSIM migration tool for other Android phones, making it easier to switch phones..
