- Qualcomm has partnered with Thales to bake iSIM or Integrated SIM capabilities right inside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.
- The new form factor makes swapping carrier services much smoother and faster.
- iSIMs also occupy significantly less space inside phones than eSIMs and physical SIM slots.
eSIMs are a great way to circumvent the need for a physical SIM card. Having eSIM capabilities on a phone can also be very helpful when you’re traveling and have to use switch carriers on the go. But Qualcomm now has tech that could make eSIMs obsolete.
