Have you been seeing more Pixel phones in the wild? [Poll]

Google is reportedly seeing massive growth with Pixel phones in the US, but have you been seeing them in the wild more often?

Following Google saying that it was seeing “strong” demand for the Pixel 9 series last month with a reported “highest-ever” quarterly sales, there’s been a lot more context given. The Pixel has apparently seen 20% growth in the United States year-over-year, and allegedly now makes up more than 14% of tracked web traffic in the US, making up over 3x growth in a single month.

In my regular day to day activities, going to work, home, sometimes the occasional store, gas station, I've not seen any more or less Pixels since the 9 launch or before.

The other day though when we took our daughter to Disneyland, among literally thousands of people, just walking through the crowds or waiting in lines, I did see quite a few ranging from Pixel 6's to Pixel 9 Pro's but something unique with Disneyland is that it's visited by lots of tourists who I'd venture are either out of state (outside California but still live in the US) or out of the US so it's probably not the best barometer for Pixel users in the US as a whole but I still was surprised to see as many as I did. By far though the overwhelming majority I saw were using iPhones and in my normal days I see mostly iPhones and not much else.

It’s a huge upswing for Google, to the point where it’s almost unbelievable.

For a lot of our readers, it’s been mentioned that Pixel devices have apparently been a more common sight when out and about. Personally, in my area of North Carolina, I hadn’t seen a huge shift, but when I was in New York City recently, I did notice a ton of Pixel devices while on the streets and making my way through the airport – I even saw someone using a Pixel 9 Pro Fold in the wild, which was certainly a surprise!
