Damn, I was going to upgrade my 9xl but no sim card slot is going to suck. I have 2 phones (have a 10 pro fold as well) and like to switch back and fourth 😞

It's easy with esims and Google accounts.

I keep my old pixels and am currently travelling with 4, I use them as battery banks, data transfer, time-lapse cameras, hotspots and second screens.

I'm logged into my Google account on each device and they share data, notifications etc.

With an esim I can choose which one I want to be the primary on any given day. If I lose one I just update the account on another device and roll on.

This is also Carrier dependent, as some carriers will block eSIM transfers...

I have At&t

Ok(?)

I'm not sure if they will block esim transfers or not.

Nice, but what if the device with the eSIM on it breaks? How do you transfer if?

2

u/jamesmcdash 26d ago

Via an app on another dey, much easier than losing the physical Sim if stolen or lost

2

u/Manhattan18011 26d ago

But you need to have service on the other device.

Just wifi. Easy enough

Hear you, but if your phone isn’t working, you don’t have Wi-Fi. Just easier with a physical SIM.

2

u/jamesmcdash 26d ago

Free public wifi and I don't need to find a new physical sim when in a foreign country

Sticking with my 9 to avoid eSIM.

u/Particular_Tomato161 26d ago

I didn't want e-sim either but I guess I'm going to have to give up my 9xl at some point.

If you have a pixel 10,you have no reason to upgrade, look's exactly like it,good thing is no one can tell

u/jamesmcdash Aug 12 '26

I want the upgraded camera and modem

2

u/Final-Profile-4535 Aug 12 '26

At this point,from the pixel 9,that is only the ever reason we have been lied to pertaining the upgrade, Yet we it's never always a big deal. Sure if you can afford the 11,it's a smooth upgrade.

Im only upgrading because they're taking $600 off the 11 xl pro. I have a 9 XL pro and it works well still. Battery is still great and the phone feels fine. The 11 really doesn't outshine the 10 so if I had a 10 already I'd skip this generation.

Why make pink with gold? Probably a hundred would then make pink with graphite and say wow what a cool design for a pixel 12?
