A report revealed earlier this month recommended that Pixel telephones grew 3x in North America in only one month. It was based mostly on knowledge from site visitors evaluation platform Statcounter which depends on monitoring code put in on greater than 1.5 million web sites to calculate stats.

The opposing traits in Apple and Google’s graphs recommend they acquire market share strictly at one another’s expense. Market share of different high gamers, together with Samsung and Motorola, held regular throughout the identical interval.
All this means that StatCounter’s knowledge won’t be dependable. For some perspective, there are over 310 million smartphone customers within the US and 130.6 million smartphones have been bought within the US in Q3 2023.
A market share of 21 % in October would translate to thousands and thousands of gross sales in only a month, and figuring out that Google considers promoting 10 million items in the whole world in a yr a milestone, we do not assume it managed that feat.
That mentioned, whereas we do not assume that Statcounter’s knowledge needs to be accepted at face worth, it should not be fully dismissed. In any case, different experiences have additionally been pointing to a rise in demand for Pixel telephones. The third quarter of 2024 was reportedly Google’s finest quarter by way of gross sales and CEO Sundar Pichai additionally mentioned that the Pixel 9 witnessed sturdy demand throughout Q3 2024 earnings name.
So though the Pixel is steadily rising in recognition, it might be some time earlier than it cuts into the iPhone or Samsung Galaxy’s supremacy, which occur to be the 2 hottest telephones within the US.
