As you know, Google is mainly a software company, but it is also active in the field of hardware. Pixel smartphones are probably the best-known representatives of this area. The company has been making these since 2016, and you'd think they'd sold quite a few in that time, especially since the reviews tend to be mostly positive. Reality? According to sales figures shared by smartphone market analysts, it would take Google more than half a century to sell as many phones as Samsung in one year.

Google has sold a total of 2016 million Pixel phones since 27,6, according to a new report from marketing-analytics firm IDC, referenced by Bloomberg editor Vlad Savov. As he pointed out, this is a tenth of the sales of Samsung phones Galaxy in one year (namely last year), which means Google would need 60 years to sell as many phones as the Korean giant in 12 months.

Although this difference in sales may seem scary, it should be noted that the production of smartphones is a kind of "side school" for Google, and that its phones have never been serious competition for the main players in the market. Already due to the fact that their availability is very limited. Their primary market is the USA, but even here they face a lot of competition from Samsung, and logically above all from Apple, which has already sold over two billion of its iPhones. Pixels thus serve Google primarily as a platform for testing the operating system Android. By the way, they will present it "in full" today Pixel 7 a Pixel 7Pro.
