Popular how? i mean how do you compare which one is more popular than the other? Because if you want me to believe that the Nexus phones sold more than any other phone on the US list you are delusional. What a crap article.
You didn’t actually read the article otherwise you would not have said that
I have read the whole article, but I still can’t find if the popularity is based on usage or sales
