Report: Google admits difficulty selling expensive Pixel smartphones

Google has admitted that the company experienced a tough time selling its expensive Pixel devices due to fierce competition in the high-end smartphone market. Speaking to the Verge, Google CFO Ruth Porat revealed that industry-wide pressure on high-end phones led to fewer Pixel sales last quarter compared to this time a year ago. Google is expected to enter the mid-range smartphone market by unveiling a cheaper Pixel 3a and 3a XL at the company’s next I/O developer conference, starting from May 7.
