The rumoured LG-made Nexus 5 (2015) smartphone once again making news on
the Internet. A new leak has tipped the specifications of the upcoming
smartphone alongside suggesting a late September launch.
The
specifications have been leaked by Android Police and corroborate previously rumoured set of innards. The report however points out that LG-made
Nexus will be 'sub-flagship level' smartphone.
In line with last
week's leak, the LG Nexus 5 (2015) is said to feature a 5.2-inch full-HD
(1080x1920 pixels) display; Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor; 3GB of
RAM; Adreno 418 GPU, and a 5-megapixel front camera.
The new leak
adds that the LG-made Nexus smartphone will feature a USB Type-C port;
though as of now there's no word on what version it will be. Huawei's
Nexus smartphone has also been previously rumoured to feature the new USB Type-C port. The inclusion of USB Type-C support does not
come as a surprise however, with the new Nexus smartphones meant to be
the platform lead devices for Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and Google
officially announcing support for the USB specification at I/O 2015.
The
LG-made Nexus smartphone is said to pack a 2700mAh battery, which is a
slight upgrade from 2300mAh battery on the Nexus 5. Unlike the previous
leak that tipped a 13-megapixel rear camera, the new leak claims that
the handset will sport a 12.3-megapixel sensor. Additionally, the
handset is said to come in 16GB and 32GB storage versions only with no
storage expansion option. It is said to arrive in three colours: Black,
Blue, and White.
Again in line with a previous report, the new leak again suggests a late September launch time-frame for
the LG-made Nexus smartphone.
While Google, Huawei, or LG are yet
to reveal any plans for Nexus devices this year, several leaks have
pointed that Huawei and LG have been reportedly working on Nexus devices
set to launch later this year alongside Android 6.0 Marshmallow final
build. The Chinese firm is expected to produce the larger display
smartphone, and LG the smaller one.
