In a short time, physical SIM cards will be a thing of the past with eSIM or virtual SIMs. Over the years we have seen a transformation in this type of cards, moving from mini-SIM or classic SIM and their continuous size variations. This continuous change has resulted in the eSIM, announced at the 2016 Mobile World Congress, and which more and more mobile operators and devices are beginning to adopt.
Basically the eSIM is still a normal SIM, although embedded in the phones without any possibility of removing it. Although a priori this may be a disadvantage, it is quite an advantage, since it allows space to be gained for other components and thickness is reduced in the terminals. In addition, makes portability even easier. And it is only necessary to provide the operator with the eSIM number so that it can be associated with the new contract. Taking this into account, which mobile phones and operators are compatible with the eSIM in 2020? We review them.
