This year, the tech giant Google will be coming out with two Nexus devices. One is allegedly made by LG and the other one is made by Huawei. The LG one looks set to be the successor to the former Nexus 5 model. So, let's take a look at the specifications and features of the Nexus 5 and Nexus 5 (2015).
The Nexus 5 first came out back in 2013 and people could buy it for the price of $349 in the United States and in the United Kingdom for £299. Also, the LG's Nexus will be released this fall. According to several reports, the Nexus 5 (2015) will be acquired for under $500.
The Nexus 5 was released at a time when all flagship phones were made with plastic. The rubbery plastic finish made the smartphone grippy and many thought it looked more elegant than the Nexus 6.
A video showcasing Project Fi disclosed a smartphone, which lead people to think that it might just be one of the forthcoming Nexus devices. The smartphone presented in the video disclosed a front-facing camera unit right above the screen of the device.
The Nexus 5 sports a 4.95-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. According to reports, the Nexus 5 (2015) will come packed with a 5.2 inch display.
The Nexus 5 is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 800 chipset. Reports suggest that the 2015 Nexus 5 will be equipped with a Snapdragon 808 chipset.
The Nexus 5 has an 8MP rear-facing camera and 1.3MP front-facing camera, NDTV Gadgets reported.
On the other hand, the Nexus 5 (2015) is expected to come with a 13 MP snapper.
The Nexus 5 device boasts a 2300 mAh battery. On the other hand, the LG Nexus 5 (2015) will reportedly have a 2700 mAh battery, according to International Business Times.
The 2015 Nexus 5 will certainly be more powerful and better than the Nexus 5. However, we will have to wait and see if it will enjoy the same success as the Nexus 5.
