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.

    I definitely bought a used phone last time. It’s has literally nothing wrong with it and was about $350. New phones are for suckers.

      It’s totally a gamble though. The fact that you have to state that there is nothing wrong with it proves that it is a concern.

      So it’s good there was nothing wrong, there was a chance you would be stuck with a $350 brick.

        Nope. Got it from Backmarket. You can just return it, no questions asked.

        Although they sent it in an Amazon package, so I guess it was from Amazon. Either way, just select the top quality used one and return it if there’s any issues.
