All the rumors we’ve seen over the past few months suggest that Google will release two smartphones this year, one from Huawei and one from LG. We still don’t have anything official to go on for either device, but a recent leak claims that this year’s LG-made Nexus, the successor to 2013’s Nexus 5, will focus more on affordability than super high-end specs. Don’t get me wrong, 3GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 808 aren’t weak specs by any means, but compared to some of the other flagships we’ve seen this year, the new Nexus 5 won’t exactly be top-tier.
It’s been almost 2 years since the original LG-made Nexus 5 arrived on the scene and we’ve seen a lot of advancements in mobile hardware since then. While there’s no doubt the phone will be a huge upgrade for anyone still clinging onto their Nexus 5 for dear life, it might not be as “super high-end” as some of the other flagships introduced this year. That’s not to say we expect it to slouch in the hardware department either. While we don’t know for certain what LG and Google have in store, a few of the the Nexus 5 2015’s specs have allegedly been leaked on Weibo, as discovered by the folks at G for Games. The post claims to reveal a few hardware details we’ll see when the Nexus 5 2015 launches in just a few more weeks. It’s because of these relatively modest specs, the Nexus 5 2015 could once again target that more affordable pricing of the original. Because the original Nexus 5 launched so late in the year by the time anyone got their hands on the phone, it was quickly trumped by 2014 flagships in just about every area.
