  It depends what country you’re in. The US doesn’t and Canada does (not sure about elsewhere).

    I am in Canada, so that does make sense. Interesting that the US doesn’t though. I for sure wouldn’t have got this if I was forced to use an esim.

      I am also in Canada. I just called my mobility provider and told them I wanted a new phone and that i wanted to pay off my current phone immediately.

      So which is it? Pixel 9 or 10?

        Pixel 10. I got mine from Costco on black Friday. They were having some crazy deals that basically paid you to take the device home lol. It’s the only reason I upgraded.

  You could be right. I looked at several of them on eBay and could only find phones with the e-sim, couldn’t find any with sim card tray.

    Kmacmartin pointed out that the SIM tray is available only in certain countries. So maybe it’s worth checking out Canadian listings? I wouldn’t want to be forced to use esim either.
