Is the pixel 3a capable of eSIM?

I was just wondering on this.. My Spectrum service is going to expire in a few months, and I wanted to switch to a data eSIM accompanied by TextNow

I don't believe so. But it has been quite a while since I've had mine.

The Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3a both support eSIM.

(The Pixel 2 sort of did but only for Google Fi.)

The Pixel 3 briefly supported DSDS (pSIM+ eSIM) in a beta but it was removed before general release.

Pixel 3a was the first Pixel to officially support DSDS.

Phone Arena doesn't list esim as one of the specs. Neither does anywhere else I could find.

Google says it is.. I guess I just have to flash a ROM as I might have a carrier specified Pixel

Yeah. At the time I seemed to remember that you could use dual sim on it. But I may be misremembering.

But comparing it to the 4a on phone Arena, in the spec list the 4a has esim listed but the 3 a doesn't.

Check out eSim.me

It's been working a treat in my old Samsung.
