Google is said to be working on an Android 13 feature that would be waaow for those using two SIM cards on a single phone. As per the report, even though the feature will debut with Android 13, it’s not intrinsic to Android and can be implement on iOS and even Windows.
As per the report, a feature call as Multiple Enable Profiles (MEP), the search giant wants to assign two carrier profiles to a single eSIM and easily switch between networks.
Google is reportedly basing the new feature on a patent filed in 2020, which describes a splitting of the existing SIM interface into two digital connections.
There have reports in the past that Google is testing it on an engineering Pixel hardware.
This could allow manufacturers to get rid of the SIM card slot, leaving room for some extra hardware.
Android 13 is expect to be fully unveile at Google’s developer conference Google I/O 2022 in May, before being release later this year.
Google has release the Android 13 Developer Preview 1, and it features a lot of privacy-focus changes.
The developer preview showed off features like a system photo picker, a Nearby Wi-Fi Devices feature, theme app icons, per-app language preferences, Quick Settings Placement API, and many more.
Other Android 13 feature expect include an Apple Handoff-style feature where users can tap to transfer playback.
