Google Nexus 5 2015 to ship by Q4

The much awaited next generation Google Nexus 5 will more likely land as two variants from LG and Huawei by the fourth quarter of the year with a price tag of $400.

According to a new leak from the famous tipster @evleaks Evan Blass's tweet, the Huawei Nexus release will happen in the Q4, and the device will feature 5.7-inch QHD display with 2560 x 1440 resolution and Snapdragon 820 chipset with a USB Type C -port.

The upcoming Huawei Nexus 2015, with codename of "Angler," will reportedly sport a metal body, marking it the first device in the Nexus series with a metal casing. The device will feature a fingerprint scanner. This comes as no surprise, the new Nexus is expected to come with Android M operating system, which is the first iteration in the Android series to come with native fingerprint support, International Business Times reported.

Earlier last month, Huawei was confirmed to be one of the manufacturing partners for the new device and that the company is working in a close partnership with Google for the Nexus 2015 release.

On the other hand, LG Nexus 2015 release will also be sometime in October, this year and will reportedly feature a Snapdragon 810 Soc. However, a recent leak of AnTuTu benchmark test, in which the said LG Nexus 5, internally referred to as "Bullhead," is said to have scored over 85,000 points, suggests a more powerful processor like Snapdragon 820 or the Helio X20, WCCF Tech reported.

Rumor has it that the devices will be unveiled in October following previous Nexus release dates. However, there is no official word from Huawei or Google as of now.
