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 had the X20 and then the XR20. Not bad phones but it never received timely updates and it really needed help in the camera department. The camera on both devices was just so bad. Like 2012 bad.

      The camera on my 5.4 isn’t horrible but it’s not great either. But I knew that before buying it; I’m not picky about the camera.
