If you’re tired of switching carriers with numerous SIM cards and eSIMs, Google may have a solution in Android 13: allowing multiple profiles on a single eSIM.

According to a blog post Thursday by Mishaal Rahman, senior technical editor for Android developer platform Esper, Google’s solution to allow multiple enabled profiles (MEP) was referenced in the Android Open Source Project and Android Developers website, indicating that it will be included in the next major Android 13 update.

While having numerous profiles on a single eSIM card will make switching between carrier networks more easier, it will also save money on hardware by eliminating the need to store one or two physical SIM cards.

Instead, phone makers might use the area to increase battery capacity or add a micro SD card slot for additional storage (a feature frequently cut to save room for a physical SIM card).Although most Americans do not switch between SIM accounts on their phones, it is useful for individuals who need to switch between personal and work lines.

More crucially, in some countries, where phone makers provide device variations with a mix of one physical SIM and an eSIM or two physical SIM cards, the functionality is a top demand for phone users.Phones currently rely on a physical connection between the SIM and the modem, necessitating multiple SIM connections.

The MEP solution from Google, which was granted a patent in 2020, divides a single physical interface into multiple digital (logic) connections. Rahman thinks that the MEP solution will debut in Android 13 after seeing evidence that Google has been testing it on “unspecified Pixel hardware.”

However, the solution isn’t Android-specific, so it could be used with other operating systems such as iOS or Windows.

The launch of Nokia 6 is the first example of Nokia Android Smartphone launching in China (in the first half of 2017). The launch was announced by HMD Global who got the License Rights in November 2016. The Phone would be sold at a Price of ¥1,699 ($245) in China and promise a premium mobile experience, munching Inbuilt Durability with the Quality of Nokia. 55 minutes is what it takes to machine a single Nokia 6 from a solid block of 6000 series aluminium.

The end result is an aluminium body with the highest level of visual and structural quality. Nokia is a well-known multinational telecommunication company. It made a pact with Microsoft in 2011 to operate its phones on Windows Operating System. And now Nokia is entering the fiercely competitive market of Android-powered phones with HMD Global that designs and markets Smart Phones.

Some features of the Phone are listed below:

• 5.5” screen with full HD resolution and incredible color reproduction
• 4GB RAM and 64GB storage
• Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor
• 16MP phase detection auto-focus rear camera for sharp detailed pictures
• 8MP front camera.
• Wrapped in 2.5D Gorilla Glass.
• Laminated with polarizer layer to enable sunlight readability
• X6 LTE modem designed for excellent battery life and superior graphics performance
• Ability to run the latest version of Android Nougat
• Dual amplifiers deliver a 6dB louder sound than a regular amp
• f/2.0 aperture lenses and exclusive camera UI with automatic scene detection

China was a sure shot choice

It has 552 Million Smart Phone users, perhaps the most for any country. No doubt Nestor Xu, Vice President Greater China, HMD Global wa quoted saying “ China is the largest and most competitive Smart Phone market in the world… JD.com is known for its upwardly mobile customer base and it has for many years believed in the Nokia brand and sold millions of our products to Chinese customers. Launching our first Smart Phone device, in such a strategically important market, with JD.com a trusted online retailer marks a signal of intent.”

Arto Nummela, CEO, HMD Global,on the launch of Smart Phone said:

“Just a short while ago we announced the launch of HMD Global…The Nokia 6 is a result of listening to our consumers who desire a beautifully crafted handset with exceptional durability, entertainment and display features…We look forward to unveiling further products in the first half of this year.”

The prime focus of the mobile would be to break the Lordship of Apple and Samsung.

As a Smart Phone user, one can just hope that the Mobile rejenuvates the sinking Nokia Brand, not only to provide services but to reduce the Cost as well!
