Thank CTOnews.com netizens soft media Xinyou 1933769 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com October 12 news, Google Pixel 8 / Pro series of flagship phones have been released recently, bringing a number of hardware and software features. Users found that the Pixel 8 series was equipped with eSIM transport tools and was able to convert physical SIM cards into eSIM cards.

Google announced in February 2023 that Android will be able to transfer eSIM configuration files from old Android phones to new Android phones. Now, this feature has finally come. As the whistleblower Mishaal Rahman mentioned, users can transfer their T-Mobile eSIM from Pixel 7 Pro to Pixel 8 Pro during device setup.

In addition, Mishaal also mentioned that users will be able to convert physical SIM cards into eSIM cards and share screenshots of the conversion process.

However, CTOnews.com found that eSIM card migration and physical SIM-to-eSIM conversion capabilities are not valid between all Android devices and all operators. Mishaal said it could only test switching from old Pixel smartphones to new ones on European T-Mobile and Deutsche Telekom, which owns a majority stake in T-Mobile in the US.
