After iPhones, Indonesia also bans sales of Google Pixel phones

01 November 2024
The reason is the same – phones need to have 40% local content.

          All counties with more population than Indonesia like USA, China and India use same thing so that local technology will be used more than outside technology.

            Let's give them 3 months and see where this goes.

                      Anonymous, 01 Nov 2024Also bans Sony, LD, Meizu, HTC, OnePlus, nothing,..... O... moreThe main android smartphone brands in Indonesia only samsung, asus, huawei, vivo, oppo, realme and xiaomi with it's each sub brand like iqoo, honor, nubia and red magic. IPhone just have authorized reseller like ibox and digimap with their fake warranty.
                      The others brands like sony, pixel, one plus are not sold here.
                      I hope sony and one plus will banned too just like iphone and pixel.

                          Google is an advertisement and broadcasting (YouTube) company that, occasionally, sells phones and other gadgets. Bet not even 5% of Indonesian phones are Pixels. Next!

                                Good. Beta phones should be banned globally, as sale phones! The actual beta testers aren't paying the price we needs to pay for beta testing the units!

                                    Good, don't let globalisation turn into colonisation.

                                      Don't think Indonesia is a lucrative enough market to force Apple/Google to change their global value chain strategy just to become eligible for selling in the market.

                                        I don't think the sales of pixel is that good over there to have the investment there. Google may pull out of Indonesia.
