• Previous data claimed Google increased its market share in North America by almost threefold.
• New data suggests that the company’s market share had a big drop in the following days.
• However, it appears that Google has been able to regain some ground since then.

Earlier this month, it appeared that Google was gaining serious ground on Apple and Samsung for US market share. We were a bit skeptical of the numbers, but the data suggested positive growth by Pixel. New data now suggests that those numbers may have indeed been too good to be true.

Stat site Statcounter released some surprising statistics at the beginning of November. That data suggested Google may have nearly tripled its smartphone market share in North America between the months of September and October. Specifically, the site’s data claimed Google went from 4.6% to around 12.9%.
