2019 was a very strange year for Google. Despite the positive reviews that came with the arrival of the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL, the release of the Pixel 4 series disappointed the buying public and critics. But that doesn’t seem to have stopped Google from breaking sales records.
According to the international data analytics company Pixel, sales of the Pixel devices reached 7.2 million worldwide. We don’t know which devices sold the most, but we do know that in the first half of its release, the Pixel 4 series reached just 2 million units.
Automatically, this means that not all sales of the Pixel 4 were measured in the whole of 2019. So, the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL devices seem to have been the ones that reached Google in this sales record for itself, with the financial proposals. to be loved by both consumers and critics. Also, the Pixel 3a series was available almost worldwide, with a presence in the Indian market, which was not the case for the Pixel 4 series.
Of course, Google still has a long way to go to become a major manufacturer. One example is Huawei, the world’s second-largest maker of smartphones, which reached 230 million smartphone shipments in 2019. But that may also be the reason why Google is considering turning to the cheaper Snapdragon 765 this year than the 865, now offering smartphones. at more affordable prices.
