Nice to hear, but:
"In Q4, we set all all-time quarterly sales record for Pixel." Even though overall it is good news for Google it really does not mean it is great news for Pixel 6 sales. While I would guess there were more Pixel 6 models sold than 5 (or other models) there are no precise numbers shown with comparative previous sales figures.
Need to define sales numbers to show what all-time means. One unit over previous record would classify as "all-time."
From the article this point is made:
"While this is impressive from an in-house perspective, it says next to nothing about actual sales numbers of the Pixel 6 series. Google is typically coy about providing specific sales numbers of its phones but there's strong indication that Pixel sales are nowhere near the competition, particularly considering Google's lackluster global availability."
Good news for google? YES. Good news for Pixel 6? Without exact figures only Google knows.
Google also estimates there are 10 million google phones in use; I thought that sounded impressive but how many other manufactures' phones are also in use?
