According to a recent study from Counterpoint Research that looked at carrier-specific data, in September of 2022, Google had a 0.1% share of the $600+ market. Fast forward to September of 2025, that share has risen to 6.1% on T-Mobile. On Verizon, it\u2019s even higher.<\/p>\n<p>While Apple hasn\u2019t felt the effect of this growth, Samsung certainly has. Apple\u2019s share in that same timespan grew from 72% to 80%. Apple is doing just fine. Samsung, on the other hand, fell from 26% to only 12%. It appears that whatever marketing Google is doing, people are making the switch in healthy bunches year over year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-03-at-1.10.15\u202fPM.png\" data-slb-active=\"1\" data-slb-asset=\"1868208189\" data-slb-internal=\"0\" data-slb-group=\"311941\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-311942\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\" width=\"1612\" height=\"1074\" data-wp-pid=\"311942\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-03-at-1.10.15\u202fPM.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Marketing mumbo jumbo aside, I would argue that the phones themselves are simply getting better. Sure, Gemini is cool, but the hardware is right on par with the software now. The Pixel 9 and Pixel 10 lineup are sexy phones, accompanied by great camera systems and plenty of software smarts. Overall, they\u2019re good phones, however you want to break it down.<\/p>\n<p>This marketshare shakeup could be the reason behind Samsung\u2019s reported desire to switch up its lineup.
