The Nexus 6 smartphone was launched in October last year. Several people had very high expectations from the Nexus smartphone. After all, Google's Nexus 5 was efficient and fast and it performed better than other Android smartphones in the market. However, the Nexus 6 failed to impress mobile users.

The Nexus 6 was criticised for its huge price. On the other hand, the Nexus 5 was a success due to its cost of $399 for the 32GB model and $349 for the 16GB model.

The Nexus 6 smartphone was priced at $649 for the 32GB variant and $699 for the 64GB model. Some of the features of the smartphone includes new Android Lollipop operating system, a larger storage capacity, more RAM and Snapdragon 805 processor. However, according to several users, the search giant Google priced the smartphone very high.

Meanwhile, several reports suggest that Google will launch the new Nexus 5 by the end of 2015. It is expected that the Nexus 5 2015 will offer customers a strong Android smartphone at an affordable price.

Now the question arises, will Google Nexus 5 2015 release be the final nail in the Nexus 6's coffin? This is a possibility for many different reasons. Google is fully aware of the mistakes it made with the Nexus 6.

According to Android Police, the tech giant is launching two Nexus smartphones, which could suggest that Google is going to offer a premium as well as budget version.

Furthermore, the new Nexus 5 smartphone will feature Android M, a new operating system, Tech2 reported.  Several reports suggest that the Android M will feature support for fingerprint sensor.

Also, many customers were unsatisfied with Nexus 6's large screen. The 2015 Nexus 5 is rumored to have a 5.2-inch screen.
