The report says Google Pixel has become the best-selling brand in Japan's Android phone market, while Sony retreated to fifth place.

CTOnews.com, June 8, according to BCN statistics, Google successfully beat Sharp to win the top market share of Japanese mobile phone brands in May due to the hot sales of Pixel 7a.

▲ source: Sony BCN pointed out that Google Pixel phones accounted for only 16.4% of Japanese mobile phones in April this year, ranking behind Sharp. But just a month later, Google benefited from the hot sales of the new Pixel 7a, and its market share quickly climbed to 33.8%, widening the gap to 19.2%. Observers believe that with the bankruptcy of Fujitsu mobile business FCNT and the withdrawal of Kyocera from the mobile phone business, Japanese mobile phones will be further substantially reshuffled.
