Google’s Pixel strategy has shifted significantly in the last few years. The company went from competing with other Android manufacturers to focusing on the platform’s overall success. It seemed to matter less whether Pixel devices won, as long as Google services reached more people. That’s why you often see new Android features launching on Samsung Galaxy devices first. It’s often not long before Pixel-exclusive features come to a wide range of Android phones.However, that doesn’t mean Google doesn’t need to find a way to sell more Pixels. The company is still in business after all, and its phones have legitimate appeal. We’ve seen bits of Google’s plan to expand sales before, but the latest Android Show makes it obvious.
