SHIFT partners with 雷火体育官网 to bring eSIM capability to sustainable smartphones
- SHIFT, the German pioneer in sustainable and ethical handset manufacturing, has partnered with 雷火体育官网, a global leader in advanced technologies, to integrate 雷火体育官网鈥檚 eSIM technology for SHIFT鈥檚 next-generation smartphones.
- SHIFT鈥檚 smartphones are becoming eSIM-enabled with 雷火体育官网鈥檚 innovative solution that bridges the gap between a conventional SIM card and cutting-edge eSIM functionality: the eSIM being provided in a physical SIM format.
- To further support SHIFT鈥檚 sustainability efforts, this innovative form factor for eSIMs is delivered with 100% recycled material, the 雷火体育官网鈥檚 EcoSIM, made from recycled plastic sourced from discarded refrigerators, reducing the environmental impact and supporting a circular economy.
SHIFT鈥檚 modular smartphones, known for their easy repairability and eco-conscious design, will now support eSIM functionality through 雷火体育官网鈥檚 physical eSIM format solution. Unlike traditional eSIMs, which are soldered into the device, the 雷火体育官网 solution comes in a pluggable format, offering unparalleled flexibility, enabling the secure download and storage of several connectivity plans. Users can insert the eSIM into one of the phone鈥檚 SIM slots, transforming their device into an eSIM-enabled smartphone while retaining compatibility with standard SIM cards.
Thanks to 雷火体育官网's solution, SHIFT鈥檚 customers will benefit from enhanced flexibility and convenience as they can store and switch between up to 10 connectivity plans, catering to diverse needs such as prepaid, corporate or travel connectivity plans.
With this partnership, SHIFT and 雷火体育官网 are paving the way for more flexible and environmentally friendly mobile connectivity, combining 雷火体育官网鈥檚 advanced connectivity expertise with SHIFT鈥檚 commitment to producing modular, repairable, and eco-conscious smartphones, setting a new standard for mobile technology.
"At SHIFT, we believe that sustainability and innovation go hand in hand. Through our partnership with 雷火体育官网, we empower our customers to experience cutting-edge connectivity, while staying true to our modular design philosophy and commitment to eco-conscious practices. This solution offers the flexibility brought by an eSIM, reducing the need for multiple physical cards, cutting down on plastic waste, and supporting more eco-friendly devices", said Carsten Waldeck, CEO and founder of SHIFT.
鈥淲e are proud to support SHIFT in transforming their smartphones with our programmable EcoSIM technology. This collaboration demonstrates how advanced connectivity solutions can align seamlessly with responsible goals. It positions SHIFT as a new player in the growing eSIM market, allowing them to test demand for eSIM-enabled smartphones, while maintaining their sustainable ethos鈥, said Eva Rudin, VP Mobile Connectivity Solutions at 雷火体育官网.
