Thankfully, Google isn't copying Apple's dumb SIM strategy (www.androidauthority.com)

Apple has forced its US users to switch to eSIMs without any real benefit. Google, on the other hand, has kept the tried and true SIM slot.

International travel practically requires a SIM slot. Buy a $40 prepaid SIM and pop it in your phone, or pay hundreds of dollars for international roaming?

What are you talking about? eSIMs are better for traveling because you can just preload an international eSIM and you’ll have access the second you land.

Third world countries don’t always have eSIM.
