Google continues its journey that started as a search engine as a technology giant and is a manufacturer of smartphones and digital services. Unfortunately, when Google entered the market with the Nexus series in 2010 and continued with the Pixel series, Google did not offer Nexus or Pixel phones for sale in Turkey. Well, the last time we met the Pixel 7 family Why are Google’s smartphones not coming to Turkey?

Looking at smartphone sales in Turkey, We can see that we really like the Android operating system. Based on this data alone, we can think that Google’s phones that offer pure Android experience will be successful in our country. But the situation does not depend on that alone, of course.

Let’s see where the Pixel sells first:

Google released the Pixel phone and all its other devices today. in only 17 countries offers for sale. These countries are the US, Canada and only a few selected European countries. So much so that the company has not yet reached this number with the Pixel 7. He got the 17. As surprising as it is, the places that tie in with the countries where Google will launch its products are developed countries like Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden.

Why Google doesn’t sell its products in Turkey or other countries: No official statement from the company!

Unfortunately, Google never shared an official statement that could be the answer to this problem. Therefore, the next part of our article is only: of assumptions will occur.

Possible reasons why Google only sells in certain countries:

Although Google has just entered the industry, it still hasn’t come to an active position:

Google is hardly a new name in the smartphone industry. The company, together with partner HTC, launched a phone with the first Android version in 2007 and launched the Nexus brand within its own structure in 2010. However, this brand was replaced by Pixel in 2016. But despite being in the industry all these years, Google remained a grain of dust alongside giant smartphone manufacturers.

So much so that Google only bought its share in its home country in the sixth month of this year. up to 2% has been able to increase. Apple’s share of the US market is 52% While Samsung had a 26% share, even Motorola had a 9% share. In other words, Google was unable to achieve high market share. Therefore, Google is probably trying to select the selected markets where it can make its name known to the whole world and be successful.

A product is not sold by saying “Let’s sell”:

If you’re a phone manufacturer, say “Let’s sell this phone” to your team, no phones, of course. For this there are backgrounds at the macro and micro level such as production, shipping to the user and marketing. Google has not yet reached a level that can appeal to the whole world in its production capacity and compete with other Android manufacturers. Therefore, especially being open to the world in key markets that need to establish and increase their presence can lead to stock shortages and thus a low market share.

In addition to all this, Google will be responsible for increasing production and ensuring that its phones and all other devices comply with the laws and regulations in the regions where they are sold. If necessary, new languages ​​are added to the telephones and agreements are made to make existing services work in these countries. Technical services will be established in the country, dealers will be given, a workforce will be created for the technical services and customers… This list goes on.

Of course, there are also the segment in which it competes and its competitors in other segments:

Although Google plays a role in the mid-upper segment with its Pixel series, this also increases the diversity of its competitors. Pixel devices are simultaneously compared in a sub-segment to both the iPhone/Galaxy SXX series and Android devices. But if we only look at the Android part, it is cheaper than Pixel and for many users Phones with ‘adequate’ features we can see.

Of course, this ‘qualification’ is also judged on price, especially in countries such as Turkey. google’s Pixel 7 series, which it offers for sale with prices starting at $600if he would probably come to our country Price more than 22 thousand TL would have. Nowadays, especially phones around 14-15 thousand TL, many users in our country It may even exceed the definition of “enough.” It is of course useful to know that these phones are mid-range or mid-range phones.

In other words, if Google came to Turkey today, it would unfortunately be in the market because of its Chinese competitors. He may not get the share he wants. However, if the company finds that the demand for Pixel phones is increasing, it may decide to suddenly enter our country, thinking that it might take a significant place in the market.

So, would you buy Pixel phones if they were sold in our country? Or would you turn to alternative devices? Don’t forget to give your opinion!
