The Galaxy Nexus was pretty popular. I’d bet it sold at least a million units.

So true. If Google wanted to sell millions of Nexus 4, then we would have seen a saturation campaign for the device before Christmas. They can certainly afford it. The Nexus will never have the same appeal to the average consumers as it does to Android purist. Is sad that so many people are willing to put up with the crap from their carriers, just so they can have the “it” phone of the moment. I guess is because people are now so well conditioned to the carrier’s subsidies and are under the illusion that they are getting a bargain for their hot phone.

Not bad for a phone with nearly zero marketing.

I’m with the waiting for Motorola’s “X” phone, but that’s mainly because I am fine with my G-Nex for now.

The Galaxy Nexus was a consumer hit. They would have had at least a million or more sold by now had they gone with Samsung again, or even Motorola. LG doesn’t seem to have the production strength to output multiple devices in mass numbers, and/ or are producing their own phones over the nexus line instead. Either way this is bad for Android

The sales figures are most likely not a result of the slim profit margin. Several game companies such as Sony sell their console at a loss (not now, but when the PS3 launched) in order to gain market share. They then make up for the loss or low profit margin in game licensing and accessory sales. LG and/or Google could easily offset the costs of the device, by simply producing more higher profit margin accessories like bumpers or a cardock (if they were serious).

Off topic, but IMHO every phone touting any kind of map navigation needs a cardock.

Or maybe its because people literally couldn’t buy the phone. I’m sure If LG? Google produced enough to meet demand, those numbers would be much higher.

Well, this just proves it. LG is really not used to demands if it cant make at least 500k phones at launch.

Google doesn’t use flagship the way carriers do. The Nexus line is basically Google’s way to showcase Android, like you said. It’s mostly for enthusiasts and developers. Most consumers don’t care what the very latest version of Android is, so for them any other flagship phone from Samsung or Motorola will do just fine.

But wouldn’t you consider the Nexus line to be Google’s flagship line? The Nexus line isn’t just for enthusiasts, it is also meant to showcase vanilla Android. Motorola’s latest devices aren’t too bad, but Samsung really changes Android with Touchwiz. .
