Their marketshare is not so tiny anymore. It grew 380% to 3% in North America: https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-market-share-3...

If the same trend is maintained, it will soon become the fourth biggest manufacturer, right after Apple, Samsung and Lenovo.

Not huge, but not serving a small niche either.

Sounds like every startup pitch.

“We started out at .01% of the market and we doubled in size to .02% of the market in a year doubling in size! We saw faster growth than the leader”

I agree the headline is exaggerated, but 3% of the NA market is quite significant.

It's no longer a fringe device such as Jolla in the EU market.

Hardware needs scale to be profitable and successful. 3% of the NA market is not scale.
And USA is only 4% of the world population... ;)
