Picking between the LG Nexus 5 2015 and the Huawei Nexus 6 2015 will not be easy. Both will certainly rock in Android 6.0 Marshmallow and bear the hallmarks of a Google signature phone - premium specs and relatively affordable pricing.
So the choice boils down to one key question: Which pure Android phone will provide maximum enjoyment? All indications point to the Huawei version so far and the below are the reasons why:
Premium build and design
A recent uSwitch.com report claimed that the 5.7-inch Huawei Nexus is not only the bigger device but also the premium vanilla Android flagship. Its 5.2-inch LG Nexus sibling is more of a mid-range offering that is geared for the mass market.
Premium means the Huawei Nexus is prettier on the outside and packs more high-end components on the inside. Per the same uSwitch report, the former is all metal and glass that scream of upscale qualities while latter is a mix of plastic and metal.
With the Huawei Nexus 6 2016, which likely will unbox in an all-white version, Nexus fans will be flaunting a pure Android phone they can be proud of, surely worthy of slugging it out with the beautiful gizmos from Apple and Samsung.
Phablet means optimal functionality
The stretched Huawei Nexus screen may not be easy to handle on one hand but this minor downside is easily eclipsed by a larger viewing space and more space for better touchscreen navigation. Nowadays, large-screen smartphones have the advantage as users shifted from mere call and text functions on their phone to heavy media content consumption.
And it follows that viewing clips, listening to music or surfing the Internet are more optimized with a supersized smartphone that the Huawei Nexus 6 2015 is rumored to be.
Bigger battery
It's almost automatic: the bigger Huawei Nexus will boast of a more powerful battery than the LG Nexus. The benefits are clearly defined - higher level of energy juice, more operating hours and more mobile tasks that can be performed. As experts would say, what really determines how smart a phone is the battery pack as a device dying too soon (drying up quick on the battery juice) is not smart at all. It is safe to assume that the Nexus 6 2015 from Huawei will be a lot smarter than the LG Nexus 5 2015 in terms of battery performance.
And things will only get better for the bigger Nexus if turbo recharging and wireless charging will be part of the deal and doing so will merely replicate what Google and Motorola did with the Nexus 6 of 2014. So this is not a remote possibility at all.
The Google Nexus 2015 release date, which will unbox these two stock Android smartphones, is rumored to happen around late September alongside official rollout of the just-unveiled Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
