Google's Pixel smartphones are continuing to grow in the US, as shipments in the US grew in Q2 2023 while everyone else dropped.

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.

    Any phone without an sd card slot is a direct skip to me

      I used to feel this way too, but now that phones are starting to come with 128GB or 256GB of storage by default, I’m finding I just don’t need it.

        It’s plenty for most people but not for me

          I’m curious so this is a legitimate question. What are you doing on your phone that needs more than hundreds upon hundreds of GB?
