Google’s Pixel is apparently a hit over at Verizon. According to a report from Fiercewireless (http://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/google-s-pixel-boosts-verizon-entering-holiday-season-wave7), Google’s first smartphone accounts for 7.5 percent of new activations during the last month.
That’s a high number for a premium priced, first-time phone that isn’t from Apple or Samsung. It indicates that the $15 million Google spent on advertising and $12 million from Verizon during a campaign from Oct. 27 to Nov. 2 is paying off. Google’s ad campaign has played up the Pixel’s photo prowess, while Verizon has regularly run an ad where a group on a train uses the Google Assistant (http://www.greenbot.com/article/3127597/cloud-computing/google-assistant-opens-to-apps-in-december-and-hardware-makers-next-year.html) (which has awakened my phone and Google Home more than once).
