Google's highly anticipated Pixel 10 series is set to make its debut on August 20, but leaks have already unveiled most of the details. However, a recent leak has disclosed a key change that may not sit well with US buyers. According to the leak, all Pixel 10 models sold in the US, except for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, will only support eSIM, leaving behind physical SIM compatibility. This move aligns with Apple's approach with iPhones, which may spark a debate among consumers in the US market.

The shift to eSIM-only in the US market could impact users' preferences and ease of switching carriers. While some may see eSIM as the future and appreciate the convenience it offers, others who prefer a physical SIM slot may not be as thrilled. The article also highlights other upgrades expected in the Pixel 10 series, such as a massive 5,200 mAh battery in the Pixel 10 Pro XL and the inclusion of the Tensor G5 chip with 16 GB of RAM in the Pro variants. With these changes on the horizon, the Pixel 10 launch is sure to stir up discussions among tech enthusiasts and consumers alike.
