MWC 2024: At this year’s Mobile World Congress event, MWC 2024, various smartphone companies are unveiling the latest technology one after another. But it was on this stage that Android maker Google got the big credit for its so-called ‘old’ phones. One of the largest technology companies in the world created quite a stir by launching their latest phone a few months ago. Recently their Google Pixel 8 Series got the award as the best smartphone of last year i.e. 2023. Although launched a few months back, this series of phones has seen awards for their excellent performance and powerful features.
In fact, among the devices launched between January 2023 and December 2023 at the event, a few models were selected in the Best Smartphones 2023 list. This is where Google hits the nail on the head – their new Pixel series has been loved by a lot of people and that’s why it shipped around 10 million (about 1 crore) last year. In this case, popular phones like iPhone 15 Pro series, OnePlus Open, Samsung Galaxy S23 series and Galaxy Z Flip 5 were also in the list of the best. But independent analysts, journalists and influencers gave the Google Pixel 8 series the title of the best in all aspects.
