What happened to daring to be different? What happened to having options? What happened to creativity?

Oh great. So basically leaving me with no dual sim options (I live in a country where esim is not available yet.) Basically pushing me to Samsung. Nice work Google.
Esim should be on the device level rather then mobile network I thought. But assuming the phone companies do support eSim, you can still dual sim with them rather easily by installing an app or scanning a qr code.
You realize there are multiple variants of devices? Chances are there will be a universal or international version of the Pixel 8 on top of that this forces your carrier to support it which is a win because more choice.
Additionally, the Pixel 8 and Android 14 carry support for dual eSIM: https://www.androidpolice.com/android-14-dual-sim/
