Google Pixel Anticipated to See 'Strongest Growth' in 2026 Despite Shrinking Smartphone Market

Google Pixel is expected to see the "strongest growth" in 2026, with shipments forecast to increase by nearly 19% compared to the previous year. This growth is attributed to expanding traction outside of key markets like the US and Japan. The smartphone market is expected to shrink by around 7% in 2026 due to memory shortages and rising component costs. Google's in-house chip design, Tensor, is expected to contribute to its success.
