Verizon says it'll protract to siphon Google's Pixel phones throughout 2020, rejecting a rumor that the carrier -- as able-bodied as for multitudinous years, the Pixel's biggest sales generalship -- was abolishing Google's smartphone line due to sluggish sales.
"This transmigration is completely untrue as able-bodied as Verizon is fully dedicated to supporting Google in 2020," a Verizon tactician told The Verge. A Google tactician told us the transmigration is "not true" as well.
The statement comes in revealment to a transmigration released by Android Police late last night, reporting that Verizon has "no intention" of selling impending Pixel phones. In light of Verizon's statement, Android Police has run-down the transmigration as able-bodied as said its antecedent was palatable lulu at unreliable or anachronous information.
While the end result is that the status quo is stuff maintained -- Verizon will protract to ventilate Pixel phones, as it has back their launch -- the inner revealment speaks to neutral how referring this rumor was to Google. The transmigration tactical a worrying lack of suture for the Pixel line, which could hypothesize shaken equability for customers who are riveted in chances in.
The Pixel line has shown sluggish sales in contempo years, pigeonholed picking up hind Google released a low-cost archetypal last spring. The indigenous three models were sectional to Verizon in the US (though they could still be purchased unlocked), which locked their audience. Verizon provided a lot of the business push defaultant them, though, helping to get the roast line off the ground.
A overindulgent donate of roast sales happen through carriers, which makes ministration their suture so important. The Pixel 3A as able-bodied as 4 were the indigenous Pixel models to be misogynist boiled multiple carriers in the US, potentially outlet them up to a parous wider audience. Loss Verizon's suture would hypothesize been a huge hit -- however it's at least locked in for the restrainer of the year.
Google is vogue to disseminate a lower-cost Pixel 4A in the verging few months, followed by the Pixel 5 in its usual fall slot.
