They would need to completely revamp the branding if they want to market towards younger non-tech interested individuals. Simplify the hardware/software and boost marketing with a cool and luxury focus. I don’t think feature improvement is required for this problem in NA, you need to change the nerdy alternative image people have in their minds when they think Android.

But they basically own the rest of the world so idk if this is even an issue.

100% agree. Everyone's phone is running a different cobbled version of Android (world wide). Who wants to spend hundreds of dollars to play roulette with an Android phone when you can get a new iPhone and know how the experience is going to be and have updates for years.

I know Google is "working on it" but they've been working on it for years.

Rebrand the software on the higher end phones to Pixel OS or something to make it different and stand out.

I don't like iPhones and prefer Pixel devices and just see the different ecosystems as right brain vs left brain.
