Does the V30 have eSim support? I know it shares many internals with the Pixel, so is it possible that the V30 has an eSim?

Since the fold supports Esim, and it looks like the s11 / S20 line will support esim based on the rumours, just wondering if there is any definitive info yet on the lite supporting esim as a 2020 phone?
Anyone knows about that? If it support eSIM, perhaps we can have 2 sim (one phisical, one eSIM, and microsd..)
No, this phone doesn't have eSim support.
Hi all,
I noticed that the iPhone can convert a physical sim to an eSim, see link below. Can the Pixel 6 do this? How many eSim profiles can I store in the Pixel at once? How many active?

I'm on Redpocket an AT&T MVNO. So you used your pixel to convert your physical sim to an eSim?

Sadly you cannot per their website
Do the various V60 variants have specific corresponding bands? If so, are they software locked or hard implemented? Is there a "best" version with "most" bands available?
Is the "best" version the EU version? (v600ea)
Thanks in advance! (Long time LG user, can't live without the DAC)
Yeah, I'd like to know this too. Since bootloader access and root are available now, is there any way to enable "all bands" for any sim, or something to that extent?
I have tried other forums and I am getting conflicting information.
I am looking for an Android smartphone that is capable of dual SIMs. I know that Apple iPhones can
do this, but I want an Android.
Some places I have read that the software on some smartphones designated for the United States
market have that feature disabled.
Anyway, my ideal smartphone would be:
Dual SIM (one physical and one e-SIM is acceptable)
Will work on AT&T and Verizon Wireless MVNO (like Total Wireless)
Has 5G bands for both AT&T and Verizon.
Will do wifi calling and texting, natively, on AT&T.
I think a Google Pixel 6 would do this. What I can't determine, yet, is if I should just buy the
unlocked Google Pixel 6 or the AT&T version. The unlocked version is $599 and the AT&T version
costs $739. What do I get for the additional $140?
pixel 6 is not dual sim, atleast not one the unlock version...
The $740 model has mmWave support. The base version does not. If you want to use Verizon and AT&T's fastest 5G, you want that antenna. Just beware that 5G is in extremely limited areas currently and mostly only works outdoors too because it doesn't have much building penetration capability. I personally would save the $140 since Verizon and AT&T are in the process of rolling out C-band 5G which IS supported by the modem and has much better range and building penetration.

It has eSIM and physical SIM which IS dual SIM. OP said that would be fine.

Yes it is. One physical SIM and one eSIM.

Am interested if this Pixel dual standby mode (SIM + eSIM) works for foreign sims too? Can I download AT&T as eSIM and use it with Spanish Orange SIM as physical SIM?

Should work as long as the bands are compatible, I wouldn't see an issue.

Slight tangent, but do you know if there's a way to check which version I have? I got mine as a refurb off Amazon, but it's unclear whether I got the GB7N6 or G9S9B (to my understanding the G9S9B has mmWave?) - and I swear I saw "G9S9B" in some device-info app but I can't find it again.
Edit: Oop, solved my own question. Termux getprop ro.boot.hardware.sku -> G9S9B. Neato. ...Don't know how that happened because I thought the G9S9B only came from AT&T and Verizon and I got it pre-unlocked, but I'm not complaining.
i.e. can they be cross-flashed 100%?
do they have the same hardware band support?
To answer your question, the various versions of V60 are architecture-wise same but NOT band-wise. They are custom catered to the operating bands of various cellular companies. Cross-flashing is restricted by the firmware. But even if you are able to, your phone may not work reliably (or at all) due to bands difference.
Thanks! I'm seeing that people have done great work in getting these rooted so I was curious if the modem firmware is interchangeable.
According to GSM Arena, they aren't all the same hardware as the Verizon version is 5g heavier than the international version.

A difference of 5 gram comes from an imposition by Verizon. Architecture-wise all V60 are identical.
