Google Pixel it will have sales of only 3-4 million units by the end of this year, according to analysts currently studying global markets. We are talking about a new smartphone with a very high price that Google still hopes to sell in this quantity, although people are looking for cheaper alternatives in the Android world.
Despite the fact that the Google Pixel will not sell as well as an iPhone, even though it has the same price, or as Samsung terminals, HTC will have a lot to gain from it. According to Asian analysts, Google Pixel will represent between 40% and 50% of the production of HTC terminals until the end of the year, so the Taiwanese attach great importance to the Google company.
Despite the fact that Google wants to seriously promote the Pixel as a premium smartphone, the terminal will have sales up to 30 times lower than those of the iPhone 7. The difference is very large and is due to the fact that iPhone 7 it is much more attractive for users based on the functions it offers, but also on Apple's tradition in this segment.
Google launched the Pixel as a replacement for the Nexus series, which was mainly bought by Android terminal developers and other enthusiasts, so Google did not have a very extensive market. However, a good start for the Pixel suggests that Google could sell more in the future, but it all depends on how the terminal is received now.
"The recently launched Google Pixel smartphone is expected to reach 3-4 million shipments in the second half of 2016. Apple's new smartphone shipments are expected to achieve far more volume (about 20-30 fold) than Google's Pixel in the second half of the year."
