Google's Pixel smartphones have achieved a notable milestone, now accounting for 3% of all smartphones shipped in North America in the last quarter, as reported by @nexusben. This represents a significant growth for the Pixel line, which has seen its shipments triple between Q4 2021 and Q4 2023. Despite this regional success, Google's global market share for smartphones remains below 1% for the entirety of 2023, indicating substantial potential for further growth. Additionally, there are reports of upcoming Google hardware, including a 45mm size Pixel Watch 3 and the development of Pixel Buds Pro 2, as mentioned by @technacity, signaling Google's ongoing expansion in the tech market.
