Google working on a new affordable smartphone

Borrowing a page from Chinese smartphone makers’ book, Google is said to be working on affordable smartphones aimed at emerging markets.

The software giant has failed to make an impact with its three generations of Pixel smartphones. An IDC report stated Google had shipped 4.68 million units of Pixel smartphones in 2018. Although it’s higher than Google’s 2017 shipments of 3.45 million units, it’s only about 0.33% of the total market share.
