Time, because it rules EVERYTHING!
I'm pretty sure that is supposed to be the huawei one (the new nexus 6) in the images. Aside from the 1st video.

Yes, they are photos of the Huawei version, only one video of the LG version, I think they both look nice especially considering they are renders, I like the subtle plain Jane look of Nexus phones, plus they have metal frames which is good.

This video I posted above is only the of the LG 5.2" Nexus.


And may I say, hardly any phones with front facing stereo speakers on the market still.

It's real, the fake is the 'Nokia' one.

Somebody's tried to photoshop something looking like the Lumia 640 however doesn't quite look like it, but is similar. For a start on the Lumia there's no laser focus.

Also all windows phones are not branded Nokia anymore ;)

I really don't care what they look like. I need a new mobile phone and I decided quite a long time ago that the only Android device I'd ever buy would be from the Nexus line. So now all I need to decide on is whether I'm getting the big one or the little one.

If it's ugly, who cares...

As long as it's brilliant at the right jobs, and at a great price, I'm interested.

Gotta be better than my G4, though. Otherwise no real point.

Some nice pictures taken from the render video, I still like the design, it's supposedly has a metal frame with a plastic back, so no problem with signal, but I wonder if the back is easily removable like on the Nexus 5 so you do have a chance to change the battery yourself once it's failing, it looks like there's a seam where it joins to it's hopeful?

Information about the LG Nexus front facing camera have been leaked by Google:

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Bull...nt-facing-camera-for-the-Nexus-5-2015_id72941

A Google employee who works in the Quality Assurance department of the company, apparently took a selfie and posted it on Google+. According to the Exif data, the device employed for the photo is listed as "Bullhead." That happens to be the code name for the Nexus 5 (2015). The Exif data also reveals that the device used to snap the selfie is made by LG.

The data shows that the front-facing camera on the Nexus 5 (2015) will be a 5MP snapper (1944 × 2592) with an aperture of f/2.0. That will allow the camera to take quality photos even under less than optimal low-light conditions.

Exif data can be faked, so we do suggest that you use your skeptical eye for this story. As you can see, the image is blurred to protect the identity of the Google employee who shot the selfie. Coordinates shown with the data reveal that the photo was snapped at the Googleplex in Mountain View.

While I'm not that interested in the camera (either front facing or rear facing) I'm glad they seem to be making sure they are of decent quality. Looking forward to hearing more about this phone. I'm pretty much decided that I'll be going for the larger version when it is released.

Yeah, we have had tons of information about the LG phone now including the 'cough' leaked photo of the device. Yer it seems to have dried up with the Huawei version.

I like the LG Nexus devices so will stick with that, it's a bit smaller than the G4 and has stereo speakers :) Both models should be very good for Android.

Also really looking forward to being able to unlock the phone with my finger, just like the iPhone. Much simpler.

Is it possible that Google could decide to only release the LG in the west and the Huawei in Asian markets ?

Seeing as we are getting more leaks about the Lg rather than the Huawei?

Hey please don't say things like that, I don't wanna hear it (Note 5)...

If they can nail the LG 5.2" (and the camera is the same as the G4) then you know what, I'm probably just going to go for it. Otherwise I'll just stay with the G4, growing happier with it for sure.

I just think 5.0-5.2" is starting to feel like a sweet spot for me. The Sony Z3 Compact screen ended up being too small for me, not joking I ended up with eye strain! The S6 is a good size.

Really hope they bring it out by September/early October.

Maybe, but with no Note 5 in Europe, EUROPE! Then that's one HUGE market to fill a gap in. So I think Google will sell it in all markets, they want people to have Android instead of Apple after all.
And the S6 Edge Plus will be expensive and not everyone is going to like it.

Yeah that is true ... The other thing they need to do is come in much cheaper than the Nexus 6 this year too. I assume they'll stop selling the Nexus 6 once these are released - selling a 5.7" device alongside a 6" device seems a little redundant.

When do they usually announce them ? October ?

October, but with all the leaks maybe sooner, I won't be surprised if we get the LG Nexus with the Snapdragon 620 THIS year and the Huawei with the Snapdragon 820 NEXT year.
The price has to be right yes, Nexus is about value for money not premium pricing, but the two phones will be at different prices.
