Nexus 5: "What phone is that?"

[pseudoware]

Anyone else ever get asked this?

It's happened to me a few times. The person asking typically ends up having no clue what an N5 is. Then, somehow "iPhone" or "Galaxy" gets thrown into the conversation, lol. Just sayin'.

If only they knew it was better than both phones lol
I haven't seen a Nexus 5 in public and only a handful on Nexus 4s. That's probably why most people have no idea what phone it is

Yeah it's happened a couple times to me too. One of the comments was sparked by the display, as in they were so impressed with it they wanted to know what kind of phone I had

Moto X/Nexus 5

I've probably only seen about 3 or 4 out there N5's in the wild

I get asked all the time.

"I didn't know Google makes phones." So when I tell them it's LG they completely shut down and lose interest.

Get ask that all the time. When I say Nexus 5 they normally say "Who makes that". Most people don't even know Google makes phones or tablets since they don't advertise very much.

I get asked commonly, too. Very few people have a clue what this phone is.

As others have said, all the time. Even after I get done explaining it to them I'm not sure they understand.

I work in a small IT dept, and only a couple guys weren't familiar w/my phone. Maybe coincidence, but they're the only two in the dept that own an iPhone, lol.

They're not very good IT guys for those two reasons

They're actually very talented developers. Smart guys, just not huge gadget guys.

I always preface my answer with "Its a pure Google phone, made by LG" "It called the Nexus 5" If its an iphone user, I show them the screen and they usually admit it really looks great. Its interesting that ever since I got this phone, I have barely cared about my android podcasts. There just really isn't anything on the horizon that I care about. I think thats the case with most folks who are really satisfied with their current phone. It's just hit all my check lists... 32GB, LTE, 1080P 5" ips, Kit Kat, Good Solid camera(Yes I get great pics with it) . Until it breaks I'm good..

I got a couple of questions. The Caseology carbon fiber case was what one guy asked about.

The other was a little let down when I said LG made it but he liked the price (for unlocked) and wanted to know if they made one with a bigger screen. I live in the City of Atlanta -- phablets are big here.

That's something that I enjoyed when I had the Nexus 5. I knew that no one else was going to have the same phone. I can't stand that when someone else's iPhone rings that about a dozen of us start checking our phones. Sometimes it is just nice to have something different.

so far only saw one Nexus 5 in the wild

 

[Daden04]

Haven't seen any others in person yet. When I went to get it from Sprint I was actually the first person in the area to get the phone from them (at least from that particular Sprint store).

Well, I just increased the population of Nexus 5 owners is Colorado Springs by one. I have yet to see anyone else with a Nexus 5, but I have seen a few Nexus 4s. Should be interesting as I use my phone at work for price matching and product spec lookups at a large electronics chain . Sadly, I have a hard time recommending the Nexus 5 from our store... Cause it is 450 for the 16gb

When I told a friend it's a "Nexus 5", he said "WTF?" and had a condescending laugh, as if I said I bought an Emerson or Insignia TV instead of Samsung or Panasonic.
