I saw one s couple days ago on the train in NYC. I was on my way home when I noticed a guy looking at me and my phone. After the seat next to me opened up, he moved from being across from me to my side. I looked at him with a "what's up kind of look" and he went on to ask me if I could tell him how to get better battery life. In his hand, he also had an ipod, and although I don't want to make assumptions, I'm pretty sure I scared him away. I started rambling on about kernels, Roms, and "the developer community". He probably thought I was insane and when his stop came up, that was it. I think I'll be less zealous next time :)
[Nexus 5 General] turdbogls:
surprisingly, i have seen 4 "in the wild" and I dont get out that much....lol

I saw 2 at Disney when they were taking pics

1 at lunch on launch day (just like mine...out waitress had one)

and 1 a week or so later at lunch...the guy next to us had a white one in one of those hybrid cases with the clear backing.

I went to the sprint store abs when I pulled out my n5 two of them went "woh, what phone is that?". No I have never seen another one, been looking though.
[Nexus 5 General] Tunderpimp:
I haven't seen one, but I seen a speed test post of someone in Richmond Virginia.so there's one close by.
[Nexus 5 General] Kohelet:
I bought one a couple months ago and about a week after I got it I noticed a friend of mine has one as well. I've also seen them in a couple of T-mobile stores to which I've been. And of course, I saw more than a few at ShmooCon this past January, but I suppose that's to be expected.
[Nexus 5 General] Ltdrev:
Since I bought mine in december I saw at least 5 ppl with cyanogen 11 on their N4, samsung's or Xperia's but im the only one in my city that i know of to have a nexus 5 ... never saw another N5 "in the wild" let alone a white one (I live in not too deep Mirabel QC, it's near Montreal canada)

Just ordered RED N5 too be the first here .. my moms always said the first to act are always the future leaders ... lol
[Nexus 5 General] tylerjames09:
Never seen one in the wild, although that works because I love all the attention my red n5 gets. Its like no one in Milwaukee has seen a nexus.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Saw a woman with one today in pizza hut and my inner nerd triggered...

Noticed her taking a photo with an extremely familiar kitkat camera app, and this is the first time I've ever seen a nexus in the wild!

[Nexus 5 General] SpaceGooner:
I manage ticketed events at a major London attraction where visitors usually show e-tickets on their phones when they arrive. I think I've seen about 30 Nexus 5s so far at work and maybe 10 outside work. I would say 60% of my customers have iphones, 30% Samsung phones and the last 10% is everything else.

It reminds me of the old days when most people carried Nokias and a discerning few of us used XDA, Winmo or Symbian phones.
[Nexus 5 General] OvrdZe:
haven't seen one in the wild.. I think the battery concerns are scare a lot of

Most people ask me which phone am I using it when they see me with the Nexus 5 (I have Spigen Neo Hybrid Champagne Gold case on it) by the way i live in London. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] jlevy73:
Never seen anyone with a N5 either in Los Angeles or Beijing. Beijing no surprise but in LA, figured I would see a couple. See a ton of Note 3's but more often than not, it's an iPhone I see people using the most.

I've seen plenty of Samsung devices but only one Nexus 4 and no Nexus 5s in the wild.
[Nexus 5 General] wifesabitch:
Never.

I'd estimate I see 60% iPhones, 20% BBs, 15% Galaxies, 5% other Androids. Never seen a Windows phone, never a Nexus 5.

Two of my coworkers have nexus 4s. Mind you, one of them got it based on my suggestion.
[Nexus 5 General] Beauenheim:
I've only seen 2 Nexus S's, 2 Galaxy Nexus's, 0 Nexus 4's, 0 Nexus 5's. Also 1 Nexus 7(2013).

I did suggest a Nexus 5 to my friend who owns that Nexus 7 (2013), he's switching from an SIII to a Nexus 5 White.

We'll probably see him on these forums at one point.

Also, I've seen 2 Windows Phones, and no new Blackberrys.

Haven't noticed anyone with a Nexus 5 yet here.

I have never seen another nexus owner till I started college. First semester I saw 2 people with the n4, haven't seen anyone with the n5 yet. I feel tempted to talk to other people that also own a nexus device though :)
[Nexus 5 General] galaxys:
Only saw some showgirls in Vegas having the N5! :)
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
All I ever see are iPhones, various Galaxies, and the occasional Motorola phone. I've never seen someone else with an N5 (or an HTC One, for that matter).
[Nexus 5 General] Nextjp87:
I work in my companies IT department and we all have a nexus device. Be it the Nexus 7 2012/2013, galaxy nexus and nexus 5. Even a girl in our HR department has a nexus 5 (much to my shock). Asked her to marry me after seeing that haha.

me and my friend has one..thats it!

Since LG has closed all its mobile operations in North-East India and no LG mobiles are sold here and there are no service centers also..so people are reluctant to buy LG phones from online store

i haven't seen anyone else around my area having the N5 except for two friends of mine.

pretty rare and exclusive!

I have seen one guy while shopping and was asking where to get cases etc. And saw another trading it in around Xmas time.

I have also got 2 friends to purchase nexus 5 and are loving it. And last year, 3 people got nexus 4s cors me and are still holding on to them.

Father has an S4 and Mother S2 but tempted to get my mother a Moto G or Moto X* for the (LTE).

Yeah true
[Nexus 5 General] Aru706:
Unfortunately no. It seems most people are content with iPhones and Samsung phones. >:
[Nexus 5 General] FunDionysus:
I got a red phone so it is easy for me to find and a N5 so I can more easily manipulate it to my needs. But the need to show off my phone in public does not register. I expend absolutely zero resources on profiling what humans are carrying around as their choice of phone or color thereof. Much more interested in the cars they drive.
[Nexus 5 General] nordlead2005:
nope. I've seen tons of iPhones, a few Samsung Galaxy S#'s, my mom has the Motorola Droid Maxx. I honestly can't say I'd be able to identify one either when out and about unless they were trying to show me something on their phone.

The only Nexus device I've seen someone else have is another guy on the worship team at church uses a Nexus 7 (like me) for chord music. I thought it was a Kindle though until I asked as he has the same case as my sister-in-law who owns a kindle. Obviously I have an eye for electronics...
[Nexus 5 General] gharrrrrr:
I live in a redneck city where iPhones and apple products dominate. I only buy nexus phones and have yet to see or meet anyone else with one. Last night my buddy came over for a couple of drinks with a friend of his I hadn't met yet. He walked in and saw my TV and said "Oh you have Chromecast!? Can I get on your WiFi?" And proceeded to pull out his Nexus 5. I was in disbelief. Showed him my Nexus 5 and older nexus phones. Immediate bromance.
[Nexus 5 General] habitformer:
Most people think a galaxy phone is actually the OS. So that being said after a year of belittling my wife and her iPhone she finally got my galaxy nexus than to my surprise, me my nexus 5 and herself a N5.(She actually rooted it herself,Without out toolkits,)
[Nexus 5 General] jahman42:
saw one.

I was at Sams club at the Pharm. and ran into a good friend who had a nexus 5. Last weekend I saw a guy at a party who had a nexus 4. He asked me if it was worth it to get the 5? Hell yeah man I said! So, 2 nexus devices so far. I think this line of devices is not going and never will be a main street sensation. That is my two cents. Lots of love nexus fans. Jahman

I have one.

So... 7

[Nexus 5 General] gharrrrrr:
No. Because topic of thread is "Have you seen a Nexus 5 in the wild?" Not "Name as many people as you can who have a Nexus 5". But good try.
[Nexus 5 General] SwiftLeeO:
I want to say I have just to be unique but no, I haven't. I'm telling you... The only phones I've seen in public are either too cheap to have a name, or were the Galaxy line. I also saw an LG G2, but that was my cousins. Everyone seems to have a Galaxy or an iPhone these days... Say it ain't so :crying:

I think it is due to the fact that while the Galaxy line gets a lot of advertising and word of mouth, the Nexus 5 is kind of Google's dirty little secret. Honestly though, I'm glad it isn't mainstream. Not only does it save the developers on here from having to hear even more famous quotes such as: "Oh Naw! I bricked my phone! HELLPPPP" - GuyWhoFlashedARomForTheNexus7OnTheNexus5, or my all-time favorite "Uhm... How do you unlock a bootloader? - GuyWhoDoesn'tReadStickies. It also makes me enjoy the fact that I own a phone that isn't the same as everyone elses. Don't get me wrong, the Galaxy Line has some nice features, but most of them are really unnecessary (When is the last time you heard of someone using Air View or whatever that feature is?). They are nice, but the fact that the bootloader is locked is reason enough for me to go elsewhere. I had an S4. Never again :)
[Nexus 5 General] LamboBull:
Nevertheless it is annoying when:

a. Somebody does not know what a Nexus is

b. Based on not knowing what a Nexus is, states that their phone (iPhone/S4) is better based on some stupid ass logic.. (HEY GUYS MY PHONE HAS A FINGERPRINT SENSOR :eek:)

lol I just wish people knew what it was, but did not buy it so that we can show off a little ;)

[Nexus 5 General] SwiftLeeO:
Well for what it's worth, most of the general public that consider smartphones and can afford monthly plans will wind up getting an iPhone or a Galaxy. There are probably some in between who might figure out what a Nexus is, but I don't think so, so we're safe for now.

[Nexus 5 General] bakxsteen:
Studying computer science, it's becoming the dominant phone here. Solid second place after the iphone
[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
All I ever see is iPhone's and Galaxy series phones. The only thing I dislike is getting the "what kind of phone is that" question when I pull out the N5?

But... At the same time I love how rare the Nexus 5 seems to be to the masses. It feels good to be unique.

Seen the N4 and N5 only once at random. And I work at a convenience store so I see a lot of phones. Sad moment though, I was using my red N5 and a customer said "hey is that an iPhone?"

Saw one today at the gym. They still had the factory plastic on the screen. It was sitting on their bag.
[Nexus 5 General] neriamarillo:
I've seen 2. One yesterday in Miami and another one last December in an airplane (a very hot lady had one!)
[Nexus 5 General] ItsAiden:
The only one I've seen so far is owned by a friend, who bought it on my suggestion. Don't think that really constitutes a "wild sighting." Like most of the other people here, I generally only see iPhones and those from the Galaxy line, or older phones still running Gingerbread.

I work in a movie theater, and we run coupons for concession items through e-mail. They feature a QR code that an be scanned at the register directly from the phone screen. Despite the fact that the theater's tickets are discounted ($4 being the most you'd ever pay, for a 3D movie), people are super frugal and/or super stingy, so I end up handling dozens of random phones in any given week.

Around here, like shoes and cars, people use their phones as status symbols. They put ridiculous cases on their iphones, and wave around Galaxy Notes bigger than their freaking heads. And I know, from asking several people about their phones, that they have no idea how to use a majority of the features on those things other than calling, texting, taking pictures, etc. Simple stuff that they could accomplish with a flip phone (albeit, the pictures would suuuuuck)

My Bright Red 32 GB N5 (hereafter referred to as Leeloo) shows up tomorrow, and I can't wait to catch people's attention with it. And, I apologize if this turned into a state of affairs/disposition on the current cellular habits of modern folk.

Whenever people ask what my phone is, I say it's a Google Nexus 5. Most of the time they ask me again, then I say it's made by LG. After that they judge that it's a bad purchase because it's an LG (due to horrible UI experiences in the past), and/or that it's not a samsung or an apple device.
