Android is struggling to keep its market share in the United States, as Apple continues to take over in the market. But, despite Android as a whole losing ground, Google Pixel phones are becoming a bigger slice of the US market.

Counterpoint Research reports that, in Q2 2023, US smartphone shipments dropped by 24% year-over-year. That includes both iPhones and Android phones, and virtually every brand saw a drop in shipments. Samsung saw US shipments drop by 37% while Motorola saw a 17% drop. TCL saw the biggest decline at just shy of 70% year-over-year, and even Apple saw a 6% drop.

    I feel like a bit of a unicorn for using a Nokia 5.4. Never met another person that uses any of Nokia’s recent smartphones. 😭

        Not really, the company is called HMD Global, Nokia has an investment in it and there are probably a lot of former Nokia employees working there, but it’s not a subsidiary.

          Ah okay, thanks for explaining it. Guess I should just stick with Pixel devices, then. (I miss the old OnePlus; they used to be such a good alternative to Pixels.)
