“Google continues to expand the Pixel portfolio and sales are growing. In 2019 shipments grew 52% YoY to reach the highest volume ever, with strong performances in the USA, Western Europe and Japan. It now ships more units than OnePlus but it is still far from reaching Top10,” said Francisco Jeronimo, associate VP, devices EMEA, IDC.
Meanwhile, OnePlus is among the top premium brands in India and is said to have shipped over 2 million phones in India alone, as per a report by Counterpoint Research. Having said that note that the
Pixel 4 series phones were not launched in India.

Explaining the reason for the growth in Pixel phones, Jeronimo said in another tweet, “Pixel 3a & Pixel 4 sold fewer units in the 1st two-quarters of sales than Pixel3. However:
