The Google Pixel 8 features a dual SIM setup that includes both a physical nano-SIM slot and an eSIM capability. In the Indian market, this dual SIM functionality is particularly important as many users prefer to maintain separate numbers for personal and professional use.
For Indian consumers, the SIM slot 2 on the Google Pixel 8 refers to the eSIM functionality rather than a physical second SIM slot. This eSIM technology allows users to activate a second cellular plan without needing an additional physical SIM card. Major Indian telecom providers including Jio, Airtel, and Vi now support eSIM activation for compatible devices.
The setup process for the second SIM slot （eSIM） involves scanning a QR code provided by your Indian telecom operator. Users can easily switch between their primary physical SIM and the secondary eSIM through the device\“s network settings. This feature is especially useful for travelers who want to maintain their Indian number while using a local SIM abroad.
Indian users should note that the Google Pixel 8 sold in India comes with full support for local 5G bands and is optimized for the Indian network environment. The device\“s dual SIM capability ensures seamless connectivity across different networks, making it an ideal choice for professionals and frequent travelers in the Indian market. |
