People just aren\u2019t as inspired to buy phones nowadays. While this is the case, Google\u2019s Pixel phones seem to be one of the stars of smartphone shipments in Q2 2023, according to CounterPoint Research.<br \/>\nThis isn\u2019t a big shocker. Google was able to create a community around its phones and other devices. With the launch of the Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold, it\u2019s finally established its ecosystem. We\u2019re only months away from the Pixel 8 phones, and those look to be pretty stellar devices.<br \/>\nHere are the smartphone shipments from Q2 2023<br \/>\nHere\u2019s the quarterly smartphone market progress report, and the numbers aren\u2019t great. The smartphone market, as a whole, saw a 24% drop. According to a previous Counterpoint report, the total number of smartphones shipped in Q1 2023 was about 280.2 million. Taking 24% from that, we get a ballpark figure of about 213 million units sold in Q2 2023.<br \/>\nCompanies like Apple (-6%), Samsung (-37%), Motorola (-17%), and Alcatel (-69%) all saw a notable drop in their shipments compared to Q2 2022 (April 2022- June 2022). While Apple saw a 6% drop in shipments, the overall market shrunk, so its share of the smartphone market actually grew by 10%. Also, Motorola\u2019s share managed to remain the same thanks to the shrinkage.<br \/>\nHowever, one underdog actually saw significant growth last quarter. Google\u2019s Pixel phones saw a 48% jump in shipments. This led it to grab 3% of the market which is up from 1% during the same time last year. It\u2019s all about timing, to be honest. The Pixel 7a launched last quarter along with the Pixel Fold. The rush of purchases on launch day is what propelled Google\u2019s shipments.<br \/>\nWe expect to see a similar surge in shipments when the Pixel 8 launches in the final quarter of the year. This is going to be the story for the other companies. When Apple releases the iPhone 15, we\u2019ll see its numbers soar. Also, Samsung just announced its latest duo of foldable phones. We expect to see its numbers rise in the third quarter of the year.The post Smartphone shipments are falling, but Pixels are rising appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Google-Pixel-Fold-AM-AH20-1.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1201\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The smartphone market has been in a tough spot over the past few years due to several reasons.
