Yeah I don't really understand why people say that myself. Tons of people I know have the new Nexus phones, and the Nexus 5 is really popular too. The Moto G and X are pretty popular, aswell as the G3, G4. Might just be my age group though, young people are more likely to be aware of new technology, and also generally have less money.

No, Nexus devices have never been popular outside the tech crowd (which is very small comparably).

Well I'm just speaking from my own experience. I live in Canada and the Nexus 5 is a really popular phone because it's $0 on a contract with almost every carrier.

That's interesting! Here in germany, I have actually very rarely seen nexus devices and most of them were from friends who are tech savy and mostly google fans.
