Google Pixel models with eSIM support
This table lists 29 Google models and what Google's own support pages say about eSIM, read on 2026-09-30. Each row's note repeats what the page says about regions or SIM types. A model marked unknown has no eSIM line on the page we read, and that is not the same as no support. An eSIM also needs an unlocked phone and a carrier or provider that supports it, so check both before you buy a plan.
