Google was said to be on the verge of releasing two Nexus smarpthones this year, a first-time move coming from the search-engine company. A 5.7-inch would be allegedly made by Huawei while a 5.2-inch was expected to be manufactured by LG. An insider reportedly leaked the features of the alleged LG Nexus 5 2015, showing a device with a fingerprint sensor, Snapdragon 620 processor, 4GB RAM, and many more.
Android Police's Artem Russakovskii previously spilled the rumors saying that "there is indeed a Huawei Nexus planned, in 5.7-inch size." He also said that his sources reportedly stated a "second Nexus phone this year - an LG, with a planned 5.2-inch screen size."
Others speculated reasons as to why would Google release two smartphones this year and one of them was that the Nexus 6 came out a bit larger and expensive than expected, and "many Android users prefer the cheaper and smaller Nexus 5." Information about the specifications and features of the two devices are rare. However, an insider reportedly revealed a handful of alleged details about the LG-made Nexus 5 2015, at least.
