Here at Android Central, we love the Google Pixel and consider it among the best Android phones available.

A recent report has come to light that suggests the Pixel phone’s popularity is waning, at least, among people considering sticking with the brand come upgrade time. Our AC forum members quickly picked up on this topic, and a lively discussion ensued.

Article talks about moving from phones.

“46% of iPhone defectors would switch to a Samsung handset, while 35% would instead get a Google Pixel device.”
“A majority of Samsung defectors (53%) would get an iPhone, while 24% would instead get a Google Pixel device.”

So seems like most consumers would consider moving from their phone would consider either an iPhone or Galaxy before a Pixel…
