- Sales of Pixel phones shot up sixfold in Q2 2023, increasing its market share in Japan to 12%.
- The iPhone’s market share in Japan dropped by 12% in the same period.
- It appears the Pixel 6a and 7a have really caught on in the country due to their affordability.
Google will launch the Pixel 8 series in the coming days.
