Which Android Brand Won Out in 2022?
Android phones are already looking to 2023, with a lot of exciting new
releases in store. In spite of the fact that this is the case, 2022 has
brought a number of excellent phones to the table, and as the year draws
to a close we felt it was time to take a look back and see which brands
saw the most success. The folks at Android Central recently conducted a poll to see which Android brands their readers feel most loyal too, and the answers might surprise you.
Samsung
has been making a lot of waves as of late by releasing phones that
cater to practically every section of the market. The foldable phones
that it added to its line up went over particularly well, but with all
of that having been said and now out of the way it is important to note
that this was not enough to help Samsung reach the top spot. Instead,
Google itself reached first place in terms of the most beloved Android
phone brand.
42.64% of people who responded to this poll said
that Google made the biggest splash, followed by Samsung which got
28.16% of the vote. Google’s launch of the Pixel Tablet created the
first Android tablet that actually generated some buzz and lived up to
expectations, and the incorporation of flagship features into the budget
Pixel 6a smartphone also helped to move the needle with all things
having been considered and taken into account.
A surprise entry
at number 3 is nothing! 13.27% of respondents said that no particular
Android phone brand impressed them this year, although the numbers might
be lower than might have been the case otherwise due to votes from
iPhone fans.
Motorola makes an entry at number 4 with 3.87% of
the vote, followed by Xiaomi with 3.29%. Motorola’s Razr 2022 indicated a
comeback for the once dominant company and its entry into a brave new
market. Meanwhile, Xiaomi’s 200 megapixel camera in its flagship
smartphone has also been turning a few heads which explains why it got a
decent chunk of the vote despite stiff competition from other brands.
