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.
A practical difference how? Do you frequently use your phone for several days without charging it?
I’m a heavy user of my phone. Having it be constantly 120hz would mean I’d have to charge it multiple times a day vs just once.
That’s fair. But you’d have to admit that’s not a common use case either as most reviews (and my own experience) indicates that the phone runs more than 24 hours for average uses.
