End customers don't even know that Nexus/Pixel phones exist (because you mostly cannot buy them everywhere) and they don't know the benefit from such devices and they also don't care deeply enough.
- Mister_Snuggles 9y agoI agree that the Nexus phones are advertised poorly, but the Pixels have a lot of advertising in the carrier's stores here in Canada. The Rogers where I got my last phone, for example, had a dedicated display in the middle of the store for the Pixel phones.
- prophesi 9y agoThere's also the issue that the Nexus line were perfect budget phones, while the Pixels are high-end. So even with much better advertising, cost becomes the Pixels barrier to entry.
- GordonS 9y agoTotally agree with this. Nexus was good performance for an affordable price. Pixel is so much more expensive that Nexus owners are likely to balk at the price tag.
- Eridrus 9y agoAnd Google can't keep up with demand for Pixels: http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/03/14/nearly-5-months-google-still-cant-keep-pixel-stock/ http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/03/14/nearly-5-months-goog...
