Google eyes on Samsung’s lead?

Last October, Google released the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro phones in more markets than the Pixel 6. Compared to Chinese brands, consumers found Google the best Samsung alternative in the Android segment. After flagship and affordable phones, the company is now debuting its first tablet and foldable phone to the market.

Android’s proprietary access makes Pixel phones a great option for consumers who don’t want to pick up a Galaxy. With a tweaked chipset, Google is capable of bringing the best AI-derived features to Pixel users. As of now, Pixel phones have negligible presence in the market, but, it could not take much time to rival Galaxy line.
