Much ink has been spilled around the Pixel 10’s SIM situation. In the US, the three main phones — Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL — ship without a physical SIM slot. You can use two eSIMs at the same time, and some of us think that’s fine. While I do love my eSIMs, I’m not ready to adopt them full time just yet, so you can’t imagine my relief when we learned that the rest of the world gets to keep the slot.
My biggest relief, though, came when I discovered where the SIM slot is positioned on the Pixel 10 series. Because unlike the Pixel 9 series, which dropped the SIM to the bottom of the phone, the Pixel 10 brings it back up to the top. And that fixes my biggest hardware annoyance with the Pixel 9.
