need to be replaced constantly, for the information stored on it is
adjustable. One of the integrated eSIM features is that it does not

the motherboard of smartphones. This new feature is available
on several devices, including the latest iPhone Xs, in addition to
the latest devices by Samsung and Huawei, such as Samsung
S20 and Huawei P40. Moreover, the eSIM is characterized by its
ability to add an additional number to smart devices without the

battery performance as it consumes a very small percentage of
the battery power and the random memory power. Also, in the
event that the mobile device is changed, the user only needs to
adjust the eSIM settings in the new device.
