Google hasn’t bought greater than 10 million Pixels in a single technology: IDC

The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Professional have lastly made it out into the world. At yesterday’s Pixel launch occasion, Google introduced that the Pixel 6 sequence has been its fastest-selling handset line ever. Whereas the corporate could also be celebrating the rising success of its smartphone portfolio, newly launched numbers from information analytics agency IDC paint Google as a really small fish within the Android pond.

Shared by Bloomberg’s Vlad Savov, who obtained the data from IDC, a graph exhibits that not one of the Pixel sequence have bought greater than 10 million models thus far. That’s a really tiny quantity on this planet of smartphones. OEMs like Samsung ship six occasions that quantity (typically extra) in a single quarter. Savov additionally just lately gave us a determine for the lifetime Pixel gross sales, which appeared meager at finest, contemplating the lots of of thousands and thousands of telephones different Android makers ship.

One other bit of data IDC provided Savov is that prospects favor shopping for smaller Pixel telephones over bigger ones. “Each time there have been two sizes, the smaller Pixel has bought higher,” tweets Vlad. It’s unlikely this statistic exists as a result of individuals favor compact telephones over bigger ones. Our greatest guess is that folk go for the smaller Pixel telephones just because they’re inexpensive.

In the meantime, the graph above additionally contradicts Google’s claims concerning the Pixel 6 sequence being its fastest-selling line ever. The chart exhibits that the Pixel 3 lineup bought extra within the first six months than the Pixel 6 duo. It’s unclear if the latter overtook the previous after the primary six months of occurring sale, however the graphic clearly signifies that Google bought extra third-gen Pixels than the 2021 flagships.

We’ll be reaching out to IDC for extra clarification on these numbers.
