The Google Nexus 5 2015 is one of the most anticipated devices to be released this year. Google previously said that it is working with LG to manufacture the upcoming device while its predecessor Google Nexus 6 was manufactured by Motorola.
With its rumored specs, the LG-made smartphone is believed to sport a 5.2-inch display with either Quad HD or Full HD resolution. As for its chipset, two names are currently on top and both are from Qualcomm, which are the Snapdragon 808 and the Snapdragon 810.
Storage variants of Google Nexus 5 2015 will range from 32GB, 64GB or 128GB models. All the three variants will sport 3GB of internal memory, USB Type-C support and the hyped fingerprint scanner, according to iDigital Times.
On the other hand, the Google Nexus 6 is currently available on the market with a price tag of $649 for the unlocked 32GB model. The 64GB model is currently being sold for only $499 on Amazon and Best Buy.
Despite fetching hefty price tag, the Google Nexus 6 is no pushover when it comes to specs and embedded technology. The device boasts a 6-inch display and the latest Snapdragon 805 chipset from Qualcomm and an Adreno 420 graphics processing unit. It also has 3GB of RAM and is available in two storage variants; 32GB and 64GB.
In addition, the Google Nexus 6 has a 13-megapixel rear facing main camera and a 2-megapixel front facing secondary camera, according to Android Pit. The device runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box with upgrade compatibility to the version 5.1. It also has a powerful 3,500mAh battery.
The looming release of the Google Nexus 5 2015 is creating a sense of dilemma for potential buyers of the Google Nexus 6 since both devices stands out on their own.
