Google is speculated to releas two Nexus devices this year, with one coming from LG and the other from Huawei. This is getting solid as a recent tip coming from an alleged reliable source confirms it, mentioning the codenames of the 5.2-inch LG-made and 5.7 Huawei-made Google Nexus 2015 devices.
The source mentioned that the search engine company will be releasing two 2015 Nexus phones, codenamed "LG Bullhead" and "Huawei Angler". This year, fans won't be having a tablet.
The "LG Bullhead" is said to come out with a 5.2-inch screen, 2700 mAh battery, and Snapdragon 808, which is currently in the LG G4. The capacity is still undecided as well as the RAM chip. Further the Bullhead is set to be the 2015 Nexus 5 that fans are waiting for.
Now for the "Huawei Angler", it is expected to come out with a 5.7-inch screen, Snapdragon 810, and 3500 mAh battery. The Snapdragon chip might be modified along the way before its release or an additional tweak could be done along with it in order for the Angler to perform smoothly. Fans could expect that this is "more or less a 2015 Nexus 6, but with a slightly more manageable form factor."
Other rumors also said that the Huawei Google Nexus 2015, codename "Huawei Angler, could potentially be based on the Huawei Mate 8, which its specs and features were recently leaked online. It was spotted having a 6.0-inch screen, 2560 x 1440 display, octa-core Kirin 930 processor, 3 GB or 4 GB of RAM, 32 or 64 GB of memory, microSD support, 20.7 MP rear camera, 8 MP front camera, fingerprint sensor, and Android 5.1 Lollipop.
As for the release date, a big change that both devices could come out around October.
For those who are waiting for a Google Nexus tablet, the tip reportedly implies that the Nexus 9 would be a flagship tablet for the company "for another cycle" as the alleged source says "no Nexus tablet is in the works."
Google's plan of releasing two Nexus devices was seen to target two markets. The LG, codenamed "LG Bullhead", could be released for the high-end market, and the Huawei, "Huawei Angler", might be for the low-cost market.
Readers should take these with a grain of salt as Google is yet to make official statements about the alleged "LG Bullhead" and "Huawei Angler".
