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.

If Google's custom soc is good I'd love to finally own a pixel. Hate having to use chinese phones to get non bloated android at a reasonable price.

The Pixel has been the only non bloated Android phone I have used.

The Pixels are some of the most heavily bloated phones around though. They have 25+ google apps installed by default that you can't remove.

You can just install a different operating system on Pixels

Doesn’t change what I said. Most people aren’t doing that, and the constant talk of pixels having “no bloat” couldn’t be further from the truth.

[-] notenoughbutter@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

I think he's talking about using custom Roms

Chinese phones are popular for that

The a line of pixel phones is great too. Unlike other brands that gimp the shit out of everything below their $1100 option, the pixel a just makes the full fat ones feel like a worse deal
