Google's Pixel smartphones are continuing to grow in the US, as shipments in the US grew in Q2 2023 while everyone else dropped.

Android is struggling to keep its market share in the United States, as Apple continues to take over in the market. But, despite Android as a whole losing ground, Google Pixel phones are becoming a bigger slice of the US market.

Counterpoint Research reports that, in Q2 2023, US smartphone shipments dropped by 24% year-over-year. That includes both iPhones and Android phones, and virtually every brand saw a drop in shipments. Samsung saw US shipments drop by 37% while Motorola saw a 17% drop. TCL saw the biggest decline at just shy of 70% year-over-year, and even Apple saw a 6% drop.

    I used to dual boot my Oneplus One. It’s definitely possible, but you’ll need to mess with bootloaders and all that crap.

    If you just want to use banking apps and government stuff, Magisk with the right modules will probably work. I use the Universal SafetyNet Fix and most apps work perfectly fine. For more annoying apps, you can probably find specific advice online.

    My only issue is with streaming apps like Amazon Prime, but my solution to those is to pirate content I’m already paying for if they restrict me to 480p.
