Spotted by Redditor kaldeqca. What’s interesting though is that these figures suggest that it wasn’t at the expense of Apple’s market share, it’s more the other Android OEMs that lost ground to Google:

Funny I’m not looking for a Larger Phone, I’m looking for something smaller. And then a friend mentioned The Light Phone (https://www.thelightphone.com/), and I’m thinking about getting one.
I think that’s “a bit” off-topic, as that doesn’t seem to be even an Android phone, but
It will never have social media, clickbait news, email, an internet browser, or any other anxiety-inducing infinite feed.
Yeah… if that’s your goal then a Nokia 2660 Flip gets you that for much cheaper.
What do you like about that one in particular? (https://www.asus.com/mobile-handhelds/phones/zenfone/zenfone-10/techspec/)
TBH, I’ve used an iPod Touch from gen 4-7, hitching on wifi for internet, telecom, etc. Cheap and easy. Tho’ the crappy cam was always an annoyance.
I prefer Android and the ZenFone is small. I’ve got the hands of a 9-year-old, so the modern trend of massive phones does not work for me.
Why people buy apple products ? Is there any advantage of using apple over android.
Some people just love the brand. Say what you will about Apple as a company, but all of their products, and software suites work well together.
Some people also jumped on Apple in the early iPod days and just never left the ecosystem. They have years and years worth of experience in that ecosystem, and for them it may be too much to transition to something else, say Google.
It’s the same, but in reverse, for Android users.
There’s also the “indoctrination factor”; family members passing down either platform to new generations, or kids in school having peers from a different ecosystem.
I’ve been on Android since the beginning (and PalmOS and Microsoft phone for the 5 mins when it was pretty good). I’m finally going to Apple. Google is a smoking crater of a disaster of a company, burning itself to cinder in order to wring out a little more earnings for investors because there will never be a good idea in that company again. Just like Facebook. Just like Reddit. Just like Sammy.
Do no evil. lol imagine. Google is among the absolute worst.
Apple sucks. Tim Cook sucks. Turtlenecks should never be worn again. It took them a decade to make cut and paste work. And it’s still better than the disaster Google + OEMs are at this point. Never thought I’d say that. Still won’t touch MacOS with a ten foot pole though. Trash.
yea im still pissed off about GReader. what
oh shit guys we haven’t had a good idea in a decade what are we gonna do to make money oh lol just raise youtube prices and make each ad break like 10 mins great idea bob you saved the company for another fiscal quarter
If they want to get serious they better start accepting trade-ins for a lot more money just like Samsung does! Have a pixel 7pro looked at the trade-in value for the new flip phone and is pitiful. Samsung is offering double !
Guess I’ll just have to keep using my favorite phone for a few more years then 🙂
They grew ‘twenty percent’ of their market share, which is a whopping 1%. Four out of 100 NEW phones is a pixel now. Considering pretty much the only options left to North America that aren’t Apple and Samsung is basically Motorola and Google, I wouldn’t consider this a win. I didn’t even know tcl made smartphones and they’re barely behind Google.
