That the Pixel 3a It is an interesting phone, it is something that we all know, that it was cheaper and that could benefit Google, it was also intuited. But now, with data on the table, comes confirmation of how well Google has done by achieving double mobile sales
Pixel 3a doubles mobile sales for Google
The Google Pixel was never a beautifully designed phone. It is true that such square and even basic aesthetics have their charm, but if we compare what other manufacturers such as Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo, LG,... practically the majority are doing, they are not at all flashy.
Despite this, having the Google seal is much more than enough. Because aesthetics aside, the great attraction of the Pixel is in its experience.
Google designs and delivers what they think will be the best experience with your operating system android. Although there is also another difference factor in these phones: the camera. Both the Pixels intended for the high-end and the Pixel 3a, which points to the average, offer a photographic performance that does not leave you indifferent. You could already see it in our analysis.
Now, after knowing the economic results of Alphabet, Google Matrix, it has been verified how the profit compared to the second quarter of 2018 has grown by 19%. An increase linked to that of income and where the Pixel 3a is partly to blame.
The Pixel 3a was launched in May and together with a more adjusted price and its keys intact: software and camera, the cheap phone from Google managed to Google phone sales will double over the previous year.
And it must have been very positive news for Google, because the company that Sundar Pichai runs doesn't usually make many statements about them. But with these data and the possible gap that is being made in the market, it could have encouraged them to get a little chest for what they have achieved.
Now, however, is the time to solidify both the strategy and the product. It won't be long before we see the Next Pixel 4And although we don't know if the cheapest version will come close to it or if it will take a few months, to more or less repeat the schedule of the Pixel 3 and 3a, both are highly anticipated.
In one way or another, and returning to the theme of design, which will take a small leap this time, the most important thing is that they continue to set certain trends. Because, for example, thanks to the advances in their cameras, many other manufacturers have stepped up with a better portrait mode, night mode, etc.
Long live the Pixels and their cheap model in particular. Or well, almost “cheap”. Because it is true that it is not the almost 1.000 euros of the other, but about 400 for the Pixel 3a for some it is still too much.
