How do I know if a phone is out of stock?
The main product pages still say “Buy” in the top-right corner. It’s not clear if the phones are no longer in production or whether there is currently no inventory but more is on the way. In the first scenario, Google will eventually gray out the button and switch to an “Out of stock” status.

Is Google’s $349 pixel out of stock?
There does not appear to be any inventory fluctuations for Google’s popular $349 mid-ranger. Then again, the Pixel 4 and 4 XL went out of stock (on August 5, 2020) way before last year’s successors were ready. COVID-19 is most likely behind the limited availability as manufacturing and supply chains continue to be impacted.
Does Google have a flagship phone anymore?
The move means Google technically no longer has a flagship phone for sale. That is a technicality, though — Google introduced the new Pixel 4A earlier this week for an August 20th release, and also confirmed that the Pixel 5 and a 5G-equipped 4A would be coming later this fall.

Does Google still say "Buy"?
The main product pages still say “Buy” in the top-right corner. It’s not clear if the phones are no longer in production or whether there is currently no inventory but more is on the way. In the first scenario, Google will eventually gray out the button and switch to an “Out of stock” status. We’ve reached out to the company for comment.
Why did Google create its own smartphone lineup?
Google created its own smartphone lineup to further its greater agenda. The Pixel line pushes less cooperative OEMs, and inspires friendly ones, to follow its path by shaping the public perception of what Android smartphones should be. If all else fails, Google could even go nuclear and tackle Apple and Samsung head-on.
What is the stick that Google will use when all else fails?
Speak softly and carry a big stick, says the old adage. The Pixel line is the stick that Google will use when all else fails, at the risk of damaging a platform that was built over a decade of soft speaking.
Which phone makes up half of all Android phones?
Together, Samsung, Huawei, and BBK account for almost half of all Android smartphones sold right now. Google can’t count on any of them in the long term.
Is Google hardware just a hobby?
Is hardware just a “hobby” for Google? That’s hard to believe. Both Google CEO Sundar Pichai and head of hardware Rick Osterloh have stated the company is serious about hardware, which they hope to turn into a meaningful revenue source within five years. Google made close to $90 billion in revenue in 2016, so when we say meaningful we’re talking about tens of millions of units sold.
When was the first Android phone made?
Beginning with the first Android phone, the 2008 T-Mobile G1, Google was happy to give manufacturers (and even carriers) ample control over user experience. In hindsight it seems a bit suicidal, but it worked. A decade later, Android is everywhere.
Does Google want to weaken the platform?
Google also doesn’t want to weaken the platform it worked so hard to create and maintain. With so many Android OEMs already struggling to make money, the arrival of a strong new player could precipitate a wave of exits and consolidation. This could give Samsung and Huawei a stronger bargaining position and Apple even more market share.
Is Google alienating Samsung?
Google doesn’t want to anger or alienate Samsung even more. It happened before with the Motorola acquisition. In 2014, Google was reportedly so “dismayed” with Samsung’s efforts to alter the Android experience, that the two companies had to sit down for peace talks. Soon after, Google offloaded Motorola to Lenovo. Not much has changed since then. Samsung has lost some market share, but it’s still the most influential Android phone maker out there. Its homegrown Tizen OS is ready and waiting.
Why are companies wary of selling their stock?
Companies may be wary to sell off what little stock they have at a bargain - especially as huge sales could exacerbate any supply chain issues they are trying to deal with.
