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.

    It’s totally a gamble though. The fact that you have to state that there is nothing wrong with it proves that it is a concern.

    So it’s good there was nothing wrong, there was a chance you would be stuck with a $350 brick.

      Nope. Got it from Backmarket. You can just return it, no questions asked.

      Although they sent it in an Amazon package, so I guess it was from Amazon. Either way, just select the top quality used one and return it if there’s any issues.
