As one of the premier software manufacturers in the world , Google ’ s relationship with consumer hardware has been relatively patchy . Its Android technology ( the beta for the 11th version of which was released in June ) is the most prevalent operating system for mobile devices in the world . However , with 2019 sales of its Pixel phones falling short of 8mn units , its efforts are dwarfed by other major cell phone manufacturers . Despite this , Google is turning out some of the most aesthetically pleasing and unique phone offerings on the market , and the fact that the company ’ s portfolio is so diversified means that its mobile devices can stay pitched firmly at the premium and flagship range of the market . The Pixel 4 released last year and was well received . The Pixel 5 is expected to drop in late 2020 and is expected to sacrifice a top of the line processor for a lower price tag .
