Google’s Pixel 6a and Pixel 7a series models, which feature mid-range waterproof positioning, have demonstrated strong sales in the Japanese market in the first half of this year due to close cooperation with various telecom operators in promotions and the distinct advantage of high CP values. Not only has it repeatedly topped the list of best-selling Android mobile phones, it has also made Google the largest market share brand in Japan’s Android mobile phone camp. As for Google’s launch of the new generation flagship Pixel 8 series in October of the second half of this year, what is the current sales situation in Japan more than two months after it was launched? Can it help Google’s market share performance continue to rise further? From the latest published data survey, we may be able to get clues.
According to Japan’s BCN statistical survey (which compiles physical sales data from electronics stores and online stores across the country), among the top ten best-selling Android phones in November this year, the Google Pixel 8 with a 6.2-inch screen is the most popular. The top-selling Android phone. In addition, the sales popularity of the mid-range compactor Pixel 7a has not diminished, taking the runner-up spot on the list. However, as OPPO’s mid-to-high-end Reno10 series, Sharp’s new mid-range model sense8 SH-M26, and Xiaomi’s 13T series, which focuses on entry-level flagship positioning, were launched in Japan in October, November and December, Google Pixel 8 has also been launched in Japan. There is a new wave of changes in the sales rankings on the list.
According to Japan’s BCN’s latest weekly statistical survey (December 11 to 17), among the top 10 best-selling Android phones, Google Pixel 8 (different telecom versions) occupied three seats, still showing good sales power, but only ranked After ranking fifth on the top ten sales ranking list, it lost to OPPO Reno10 Pro and Xiaomi 13T.
It is worth noting that OPPO Reno10 Pro’s sales performance in the past three weeks has been quite solid, and it has continued to be the best-selling Android phone. In addition, Xiaomi Mi 13T only went on sale in Japan in early December. In a short period of time, it has already ranked second on the best-selling list, and its subsequent performance should not be underestimated.
Overall, the popularity of Google Pixel 8, occupying the fifth, sixth and ninth positions on the sales list, reflects that it is still a hot-selling model that has attracted much attention, but it is facing the fierce OPPO Reno10 Pro, and Xiaomi 13T. The attack from powerful rivals still poses a considerable threat to the subsequent sales performance of Pixel 8.
