In fact, you can only buy Motorola’s flip smartphone in the eSIM-only variety. That means no physical SIM card slot, which has a whole host of implications. For starters, the SIM tray’s absence limits your choice of carriers. Not even all the big US players support eSIM quite yet, and certainly not on a global scale.
