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’d potentially switch to a Samsung if it didn’t have all that stuff pre installed on it.

    Samsung makes it incredibly easy to just disable all the “bloat” that you don’t like - you can do it through the battery settings. Simply set the apps you don’t want to be disabled and never let them start by themselves or run in the background. Problem solved.
