To date, the process of transferring your eSim profile from one mobile to another is not as intuitive as it should be, but this new Google tool will arrive throughout the year to do so.
This will undoubtedly facilitate the adoption by more and more manufacturers of this type of technology, for which the operators must also offer this service.
Google will make it easier to own an eSIM on your mobile
Apple has taken a step with eSIMs, and this usually causes a market-wide movement that Android will experience sooner or later, and Google wants to make it easier and more attractive for users to use this technology.

Currently, to complete this process it is necessary to cancel a profile on the mobile you are going to stop using before setting it up on the new one, but this will become a thing of the past, according to Google.
At the moment, the company has announced that Deutsche Telekom will be one of the first carriers to be able to use eSIM transfer on Android phones, and hopefully it will be the first of many.
eSIM cards have certain advantages that make them very useful, such as the possibility of using your data rate on your mobile and tablet without having to request a duplicate, as well as a reduction in the time required for operators to carry out portability.
Now we have to wait for more manufacturers to implement this kind of technology on their mobile phones and tablets, which also requires less space than the SIM card tray.
