Android 13 will speed up the abandonment of the current SIM cards that we have been using for years on our mobile devices.
Σthe future update that will be made by Google, will finally allow Android smartphones to connect to two different networks using built-in eSIM card.
A few months before the release of its final version, the Android 13 continues to reveal other technologies. Analyzing the code of the latest beta version intended for developers, the Mishaal Rahman, Android expert from the blog Esper, discovered a new feature that shows that the Google is heading towards abandoning the cards SIMs..
According to him, the Google has found a way to improve their functions eSIM, a technology aimed at replacing current cards SIMs.. For those who don't know, the eSIM can replace current cards SIMs., removing the devices completely from the special "drawer" where we place them SIMs.. This innovation will allow manufacturers to save space on devices as they design a new device.
This technology is already integrated into some smartphones on the market. However eSIM finds it difficult to establish itself in the field of mobile telephony. The reason behind this is various limitations such as that, it is not possible to connect to two different networks as the eSIM is not yet compatible with Functionality Dual-SIM that we know so far. To achieve the connection to two different networks, use two built-in SIM card is mandatory, which binds enough capacity inside the device.
The solution to reducing dual connectivity
According to Mishaal RahmanThe Google managed to bypass this restriction by creating some “enabled profiles". These profiles will allow the activate some profiles SIMs. via only one eSIM. Therefore, it will be possible to connect to different packages offered by different telecommunications operators via a built-in card.
In particular, the Mishaal Rahman it's mentioned that:
"An eSIM card can be connected to two different mobile carriers at the same time, thus eliminating the need for two eSIMs or an eSIM along with a nano SIM card to achieve dual SIM functionality."
Η Google has already patented this technology since 2020. After a few months of technology development, the company is ready to offer the solution to smartphones that have the version Android 13. Furthermore, the Google has been testing this technology in recent months and on pixel its devices.
It is worth noting that the Apple, already allows iPhone 13 the use two eSIM for two or more networks. Under these circumstances, it is rumored that sooner or later she also intends to abandon the special card drawer completely. SIMs. in the coming years.
By adding this new technology to the Android 13, the future of traditional SIM cards seems to be shrinking.
