Does the Google Pixel 2 Series Support eSIM?

Yes, but only the Google Pixel models purchased from the Google Fi carrier support eSIM. All versions of the Pixel 2, including Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, purchased from other providers such as traditional mobile network carriers do not support eSIM technology. This is because Google Fi was the first and only carrier to integrate eSIM on the Pixel 2.

Smartphone manufacturers typically provide eSIM-supported versions on select models, often high-end devices sold bundled with a carrier’s service package. This strategy helps attract customers. Therefore, if you want to use eSIM on the Google Pixel 2, you will need to purchase the device from the Google Fi carrier.
