Google Nexus 5 (2015) release date is coming near and one question that may come to the minds of followers of smartphone market is whether the upcoming smartphone will affect Nexus 6 sales or not.

The users of Nexus 6 may not be interested in purchasing the smaller handset. However, Nexus 5 (2013) owners may choose for an upgrade.

It is expected that Google Nexus 5 (2015) will release in the month of October or November by which time Motorola-made Nexus 6 will finish one year cycle in the market. The new Nexus smartphone will be made by the elecronics company LG.

The Nexus 6 is not lagging behind other smartphones in the market in terms of features. However, according to several reports, Nexus 6's large screen (5.96-inch) is the reason for its poor sales. Maybe this is why the tech giant Google has decided to come up with the new Nexus 5 smartphone with a smaller screen.

Reports suggest that poor response to Motorola Nexus 6 could be because of its huge screen size; however, large could be fine once users are used to it. Furthermore, people who have used large screen smartphone are unlikely to go for a mobile phone with smaller screen.

The Nexus 6 features a 5.96-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 1,440x2,560 pixels. The handset is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 clocked at 2.7GHz.
