We have a fair idea of how the new Nexus devices will look like, thanks to the numerous photo leaks.



It will have a Snapdragon 808 SoC, which also comes with a hexa-core 1.8GHz CPU and the Adreno 418 GPU. According to Droidfeed, which pulled a purported spec list for the LG-made Nexus 5 (2015) off Weibo, the phone should make it out with a 5.2-inch display with flagship-worthy resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels and 565 ppi.

There’s no denying that these specs are pretty impressive, but there are a number of much more powerful smartphones already out so it’s entirely possible that Google is planning a more modest price for the Nexus 5 2015 to avoid competition. We could definitely see the HTC One Mini range receive a spritz of new code too.

“The Nexus 5 2015 will focus on meeting user demands more than doing improvements to lesser requested things”, Know Your Mobile noted.

However, considering that QUALCOMM will begin mass production of the new Snapdragon 820 processor only in Q1 2016 and that Google will release the Nexus 5 this year itself, the Huawei Nexus is unlikely to run on a different processor.

The LG Nexus 5 (2015) is expected to launch alongside the Huawei Nexus 6 (2015) in October this year.

The LG G4 Pro will come with a 27MP main camera with OIS, LED flash, laser autofocus and HDR, which will be accompanied by an 8MP front camera. The device will have a 13 megapixel camera sensor from Sony. The device is also speculated to have a 5 megapixel front-facing camera and will ship with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. However, nothing is official until we actually see the device, or Google and LG confirm the details themselves. It is expected to come with a fingerprint reader on its back and a USB Type-C port. It will reportedly have 3GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 64GB of internal storage space.

The devices at hand are the famous Nexus 6 which is running the Android Marshmallow developer preview and it’s going against the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge which is running the latest version of Android Lollipop.
