2 phones that were praised at launch but were super cheap-Hi-tech fashion

Expectations were high when they were first announced, but these two smartphones did not “sell well”.

The only indication of sales of the new Pixel 6 series came when Google CEO Sundar Pichai released fourth-quarter results. The new smartphone models have helped create “an all-time quarterly sales record for Pixel,” he said. Google is so optimistic about the Pixel 6 line that it has asked its supply chain to supply enough components to make twice as many units it sold in the previous year.

In 2020, Google Pixel phone sales are estimated at 3.7 million units by IDC, down sharply from 7 million units in 2019. In the period 2021-2022, Google believes it won big with current sample. For the first time, Google has designed its own chip – Tensor, which allows it to add special features to the new pair of Pixel flagships.

Pixel 6 series just for Pixel fans

Google has enhanced the design quality, adding 50MP sensors to both the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, and giving the Pro a periscope lens to provide 4x and 20x optical zoom using Super Res Zoom. Notably, the company also priced both phones “stunner”.

Before the excitement from fans, the high-end smartphone pair had a series of errors. Before that, Google could always improve the experience by sending software updates. But this time, the company could not put out all the problems.

The Pixel 6 pair is underrated.

A report from research firm Wave7 shows that the Google Pixel 6 series is quite sluggish. A representative said that the sales of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are mostly coming from “crazy” Pixel fans.

The report also said that Google had to start paying carrier representatives, despite the profit on Google’s Pixel 6 being declared “very high”.

Another device is also “stuck”

In addition to the latest Pixel models, another expected “expensive” smartphone that is sluggish when it comes to shelves is iPhone SE 3. When it was first released, up to 56% of carrier representatives said that the newly launched iPhone SE attracted greater demand from consumers than the previous iPhone SE.

iPhone SE 3 is not as expensive as expected.

However, veteran analyst Ming-Chi Kuo thinks that the demand for the iPhone SE 2022 is quite “faint”. Wave7 said, Apple is not too interested in marketing the iPhone SE 3, even “not many people know the product is launched.”

Considering the low demand for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 mini series, the smaller 4.7-inch screen on the iPhone SE 3 could be the main reason why buyers are not in a hurry to choose the device. Although the iPhone SE 3 is not very popular, “customers tend to choose iPhone SE 2020 and iPhone 11.”

In Vietnam, iPhone SE 3 has arrived at genuine retail systems, selling for a starting price of 12.99 million VND (64GB version). Particularly, the Pixel 6 pair is not popular in the domestic market, the portable price is from 15.99 million VND (128GB version).
