Does the Pixel 7 have eSIM?

Yes · supports eSIM

Yes, the Pixel 7 supports eSIM. One physical SIM and one eSIM are active at the same time. A travel profile is installed at home over Wi-Fi; your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.

eSIM reached Google Pixel in 2019, with the Pixel 4, 3 years before the Pixel 7. The Pixel 5a from 2021 has it too. The Pixel 7a that follows in 2023 has it too. Its 2022 shelf-mates, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7 Pro, carry the same answer.
