Google Pixel sub-Reddit 'recap' claims 10 million visitors in 2023; here are all the interesting facts

In recent years, Google has been working harder than before to make its Pixel phones gain more market share around the world. One of the ways we can tell the level of interest in a brand is by its number of users on social platforms, and Pixel devices are no exception.

Reddit, one of the most popular platforms currently, has rolled out its 2023 recap for every user and sub-Reddit, including the ‘Google Pixel’ one, throwing up some interesting facts that might even surprise you.

The Google Pixel sub-Reddit recap 2023 includes a series of data such as the number of visitors, number of votes, the top comments of the year, countries that contribute the most visitors, and how many comments there were throughout the year. Everything together reflects the current state of the brand in the industry.

According to the Reddit recap 2023, the Google Pixel sub-Reddit received 10 million visits throughout 2023, a quite notable figure that indicates high interest. However, the most curious thing is that, when comparing the number of Google Pixel sub-Reddit visitors with those of the Apple sub-Reddit, the difference is ‘barely’ 3 million.

Taking into account Apple’s dominant position in the market and that Google Pixels continue to be ‘niche’ devices, it is curious that their corresponding sub-Reddits have that little difference in terms of visitors.

Also, the sub-Reddit reached more than 3 million votes this year, indicating high levels of participation. It seems that many users were especially interested in the implementation of a long-requested feature: the separate volume control for ringtone and notification sounds. Its dedicated thread received several votes in favor in its day and stands out in the Recap.

Fortunately users were listened to, and the much-desired separate control of volume for ringtone and notification sounds was implemented in Android 14. Therefore, this story had a happy ending.

The Google Pixel sub-Reddit recap 2023 also shows the top comments of the year (those that had the most upvotes). Among these, one stands out related to the ‘bullying’ that some users face for choosing an Android phone over an iPhone, a situation that occurs mainly in the US.

Regarding the visits by country to the Google Pixel sub-Reddit, the 2023 recap indicates that the top 3 is made up of United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. The case of the United Kingdom is another example of the growing popularity that Pixel devices are gradually achieving in Europe.

In fact, the United Kingdom is one of the countries where the company has been promoting its devices the most lately. For example, they have partnered with Premier League teams, and even with the Odeon Cinemas chain.

Finally, throughout 2023, more than 519K comments were published in the Google Pixel sub-Reddit, another example of the level of activity that it gets daily.

Will Google manage to make these activity and interest figures even higher next year? Only time will tell, but the company seems to be on the right path.
