Only other nexus device I have seen is the one I convinced my co-worker to get. She absolutely loves the phones as do I. It's sad to see this amazing phone is not as popular as it should be.

I've only seen one Nexus 4 and two Nexus 7s. I'm the only one I know of with a Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] Kid_droid:
Today I saw a 75 year old woman using a nexus 4. To say android is difficult to use. I was so impressed. I have seen 3 to 4 random nexus 5 in the wild. One guy was so excited by OK Google it was crazy.
[Nexus 5 General] Kayen:
I see a lot more Nexus 5's in the wild that i've ever seen Nexus 4's. Know of many many people with the phone as well.
[Nexus 5 General] biscuitownz:
Saw some girl at the gym with one O_O
[Nexus 5 General] urtaza:
i have 2 friends who have one but other then that i haven't seen anyone have one, crazy how so many people don't even know about this phone

I bought my 61 year old mother a Nexus 4 last year. She only uses the basics, but absolutely loves it. :victory:

Nope, not a single one except mine around here.
[Nexus 5 General] brooksyx:
My buddy is the only one I know of who has a Nexus 4 and I have the only Nexus 5 I have seen in the wild.

I have seen several Galaxy Nexus phones though, most likely the Verizon version when they became a free smarthphone on upgrade or new customer. It'ts mostly galaxies iii's and iphones.
[Nexus 5 General] Nathan-NL:
Yes, on a train last weekend someone had a Nexus 4.
[Nexus 5 General] enriquelabrada:
I saw this one shy "always-seperated-from-the-crowd" girl in my history class. I could identify it by that circular earpiece. Either her relatives are tech geeks or she's a secret Android admirer (1 is more believably to me)

I've seen 3 possible Galaxy Nexuses. They all appeared to be similar and had a chin or curve screen at the bottom. One of them I was running a camera app which look stock as the circle part was red (she was vlogging the class). No Nexus 4 for me.
[Nexus 5 General] Vekhez:
Saw one in class the other day, but the guy that was holding it called it the Samsung Galaxy S C5 Nexus so yeah............
[Nexus 5 General] arctia:
Three people in my office have it. Two more with N4, one of them is probably going to upgrade. My android brothers and sisters are increasing in number by the week
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Of my entire school, 1000-ish people, I'm the only one who even knows of it's existence.
[Nexus 5 General] enriquelabrada:
Haha same here! The only thing they know is the cheap ones they got for Christmas, s4s (they call them galaxy...and don't even know the s5 came out) and iPhones.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Nexus 5 > All :good:
[Nexus 5 General] Humpie:
In the Netherlands I know 2 more nexus 5's, someone who bought the 16GB version when the 32 wasn't available yet, my 32GB version I bought in Germany and now the 32GB version is out here I know someone else who bought it
[Nexus 5 General] xploitnt:
I have seen one person with a N4, and that is a friend of my cousins, but other than that I still see people with old HTC devices and Galaxy S2's and such but never seen a N5 other than my own. Not that there is anything wrong but they are definitely missing out - I love my N5 :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] Dark-Black-71:
I only saw people with Nexus 4, but the only one that I know of that has Nexus 5 is me. :D
[Nexus 5 General] hutzdani:
I see lots of Galaxy nexus's ( is that Nexi ? ) around still usually business guys on trains out of london.

Most london commuter people have Crackberrys / IPhones.

Have seen about 3 Nexus 4's in recent months and only 1 other nexus 5.

I don't even see them in Second hand phone shops either
[Nexus 5 General] defffizz:
Never seen a n4, never seen a n5... Today I got my red n5 and I see people just staring at it

Bright Red Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] enriquelabrada:
Crackberrys? UK exclusive? (Asked by an ignorant American)
[Nexus 5 General] PMamba:
I've only seen 1 nexus 4 and I know someone who owns the original nexus 7. People are definitely interested in the nexus 5 after I show them though
[Nexus 5 General] Hondroid:
Never seen any Nexus in public here in New York. But at the tmobile store a 10 year old was playing with a Nexus 7 instead of the Ipad right next to it. His dad was proud Lol. I have the original 7 only.
[Nexus 5 General] fcng:
Still rare but better.....

In Hong Kong, there are a lot more people using the Nexus line of phones after Google made it available in Hong Kong on the Play Store. The price is cheaper then the usual brick and mortar stores so people jumped on it. I might not see one everyday I travel to work but I will see at least once a week. Of course, its all iPhone 5s, S4, Note 3, and surprisingly Sony X1, Z Ultra are all over the place.
[Nexus 5 General] iDylan1357:
Saw one at my school today... surprising, first Nexus 5 I have seen in my area. I live in Everett WA and have only seen a Nexus 4 like twice, never a Nexus 5 before today. Complimented the owner on their fantastic phone :victory:
[Nexus 5 General] Alex3179:
Have only seen one in the wild; when I pull out my n5 near people with iPhones they're like wow that's a big phone
[Nexus 5 General] Jimlarck:
Everyone's all about iPhone 5C's and Galaxy S4s, I met someone who had a Nexus 5 and when I told them they had no idea it was a Nexus, even though the words "Nexus" are written in the back. I've only seen 1 guy with a Nexus 4 and he was rooted and running a custom ROM.
[Nexus 5 General] ygella:
My university campus (London, Canada) is crawling with nexus 5's (still not comparable to the amount of iphones, but still quite a few). We didnt have too many nexus 4's but nexus 5 is pretty big hit.
[Nexus 5 General] TheAltruistic:
After reading this thread 2-3 weeks ago, I, too, thought to myself, "dang, I haven't really seen these around."

Then, during rush hour, on a Manhattan bound R train in Brooklyn, I saw someone listening to some tunes on their Nexus 5. A day or two after that, I saw a different person reading an e-book (or something like that) on their Nexus 5 on the same train.

I guess they aren't as rare as I thought they'd be here in NYC ;)
[Nexus 5 General] aznmage27:
I see quite a few in the engineering campus in my university
[Nexus 5 General] gee2012:
Never seen one in the wild so far, its all Sammy and iPhone as far as the eye can see :p
[Nexus 5 General] hawktalon:
Nope. Nobody here even knows what is a Nexus. One even ask me if it is a china brand phone....
[Nexus 5 General] nachoy9:
A friend of mine have one, but I saw one the day I bought it, it was a dude from my university.. after that I have not seen any body else with this phone, and like the post before no ones know wtf is a nexus phone.. the other day I a girl by my side at the classroom asked if it was a nexus and I was like "?? how do you know this is a nexus?" she said "I dont know" haha, I live in uruguay so its really really strange to see someone using a nexus
[Nexus 5 General] beanboy89:
Does seeing a Nexus 5 in a Sprint store count? Aside from that, I have never seen one in the wild.
[Nexus 5 General] EnIXmA:
I got my PC fixed by this techie, and he had a white n5... The guy said that he loves the phone and the battery life is amazing
[Nexus 5 General] gtg465x:
I see Nexus 5s in the wild every day, but I live 15 minutes from Google HQ.
[Nexus 5 General] MarketMaster:
I haven't seen any, most of people here don't even know what Nexus 5 is :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] TheArc:
My school has around 3k+ students and I meet new people so often but I have never encountered anyone with this device. But I must tell you my friends say "dude your phone is so damn cool, man my iPhone sucks" and "wow that's such a cool looking phone".

Love all the attention with this sexy device B)

I'm in Utah. I've met several people with n4's. Have yet to see an n5 in the wild though.

Don't like me........BITE ME!!!

The thing is, I bet those people don't even know what Android is.

I have never seen a Nexus phone of ANY kind in the wild.
[Nexus 5 General] vksjangra:
my friend just got a new nexus 5.

first nexus that i saw "in the wild"
[Nexus 5 General] rubiconjp:
saw plenty of people with Galaxy Nexus but probably the Verizon variety. Coworker has a GSM GNex as well.

saw a girl in a Chinese restaurant with a N4.

couple who stopped me on a bridge in Ottawa to snap their picture, N4. Complimented them.

under Congress bridge watching bats in Austin downtown, Asian young couple next to me had N5's.

another coworker has a N5 here at my work (large high tech company).

of course my family and friends all run either Nexuses or Galaxies.
[Nexus 5 General] japie06:
I saw one a month ago on the train to Amsterdam and one when I was in Stockholm last week.
[Nexus 5 General] kebles:
Apart from my own N5, I've only ever seen one N4 and one Galaxy Nexus in person.

I reckon most people just go for whatever flagship phone their carrier is currently heavily subsidizing.
[Nexus 5 General] irishdude84:
Only nexus I have seen in the wild was a nexus one sadly. Usually when I use mine someone asks what a "nexus" is and is it like an iPhone O_o

[Nexus 5 General] beaver2233:
saw my first yesterday during a lecture at uni... was just stock, nothing exciting :P
[Nexus 5 General] DroidDavi:
I've seen a few in passing maybe 4 or 5 its a lot more likely to see N5 and even N4 since you can actually buy them in person from a carrier

I got one and my best three friends also use it. So we are a pack in the wild :)

Lots of nexus 5 and 4 here in Paris. Each a week I see one in the subway.

I haven't seen any at all, all apple fans round here, I kinda like the fact that most people have no idea how cool and powerful the nexus 5 is.

Just bought mine in a shop in Switzerland. The lady said she never saw someone buying a phone so quick lol.

A girl in my AP Chemistry class has one. I was really surprised.
[Nexus 5 General] medicinaljazz:
Actually one of my coworkers (in a research lab consisting of 8 people) came into work last week with a red N5. I was blown away.

Also, the N5 isn't so popular in my group of friends, but the Moto X is. I'm friends with more people that have Moto Xs than iPhones. Go Android!
[Nexus 5 General] willxix:
Was it red or just a case?
[Nexus 5 General] medicinaljazz:
It was the actual red version. Although, it had a very orange tint in person.
[Nexus 5 General] willxix:
Googled it, it looks amazing :)
[Nexus 5 General] sebtorres82:
In Ecuador I have only seen two Nexus 4. The first one was in a theater. This man dressed like a hipster. The second one I saw it beacuse a boy in my school have one. My brother is buying himself a Nexus 5 and I'm sticking with my Note II.
[Nexus 5 General] Maelik:
Yup, Moto X is much more common. I've seen at least 4-5 around.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Not to take away from the n5, but if Motorola would sink some money into advertising ....the Moto x is a perfect iPhone sheep Stealer. LOL. Worked on my wife. ;) The unique Moto x features and smoothness of it out of the box and generally amazing battery life....not to mention slightly smaller size than most ....its a great out of the box phone. Only took an hour of playing with my x for my wife to finally switch to android. She had an s2, but after a few months went back to her iPhone. But she just loves her X. ;)

I gave her my x and got the n5, only cause I missed all the development. :)

yes but i work in IT at a major tech company and 4.22 broke some of our internal apps so i quickly learned by helpdesk ticket who had a nexus vs the company standard s4.

I finally have today! First other person in the city I've seen with one. And it was a guy at the gym! He had a white Nexus 5 in a black official bumper.
[Nexus 5 General] IceCatraz:
I saw a lady rocking a Nexus 5 earlier on my way home from classes. She jogged from behind me, stopped on the side, and looked at her 5 that was strapped to her arm. The color of the speaker didn't stand out, so it was likely the black variant. It was in one of those fancy sweat proof arm straps, so I didn't see the backside, either.

But it was super cool to see it amongst the sea of Galaxy users and iPhones.
[Nexus 5 General] mrakifa:
I manage an at&t store and see people bringing them in all the time for activation.
[Nexus 5 General] DigitalUnderground:
Moto x and it's ugly lag is very unimpressive. I don't care how it's marketed. U ever seen a Nexus 5 commercial or magazine ad? This device is hardly marketed. I bet more people bought the nexus 5 not even counting the sales from carriers....
[Nexus 5 General] :
Lag? Never heard of lag on the x. Serious. LOL. I'm a regular in the forum, And that's never been an issue brought up, or on mine.

And I mentioned it as an iPhone replacement. The nexus is great, but it doesn't have near the features the Moto x has right out of the box. Joe iPhone user would be far more drawn to the x than the N5.

Its maybe the best android to fit the bill as an iPhone replacement.

IMHO. ;)

[Nexus 5 General] Keviio:
I haven't seen one.

But everyone looks at my Nexus 5 when I take it out of my bag. :D

In my school many people own Samsung Galaxy S3's, S4's and HTC One's.

Nowhere I've seen LG smartphones.

I'm glad that I chose the Nexus 5.

But it feels a but bulky at the beginning, maybe because I switched to it from the Ascend P6.

But I'm getting used to it.

N5's design wins!

haha that is so awesome! actually something similar happened here in Korea where Samsung/LG/Apple reign supreme in that order... a friend of mine has been on the iphone ever since the 4 but lost his 5s while we were in Singapore. I never talked him into switching or anything but because of the premium price of the iphone he ended up buying a N5 ^_^ he told me he bought it because whenever I pulled it out, he couldn't help but notice how pretty the design was!

Then it began. the quick realization that Android does most things just as well if not better! +1 for Android and +1 N5 user "in the wild"
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Haha yeah, people always comment on how my phone looks and ask what it actually is. Here in Australia, if you buy an unlocked iPhone 5s the premium on it goes up much higher. Buying an unlocked iPhone 5s in the US costs 849 USD, whereas buying one in Australia costs 1129 AUD, equivalent to 1045 USD. The Nexus 5 comes in at 400 AUD (350USD) completely unlocked on the Google Play store. :p
