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.

      And you still literally can’t change the quick settings tiles or the theming etc.

      Also changing the launcher fucks up gesture navigation.

        There’s decent customization for the quick settings tiles, what are you looking to do? Also never had changing the launcher fuck up gesture navigation. I use NeoLauncher without any issues at least.

          What customisation for quick settings tiles is there? I want to be able to have 12+ on screen at once if I want to, I want to be able to change their size, etc. I don’t want them to be those huge arse ugly blobs.

          Also never had changing the launcher fuck up gesture navigation.

          It’s a known thing. Google basically slightly broke gesture navigation for third party launchers, likely intentionally. It still works, but it’s buggy and worse than on the default launcher.
