As we grow ever closer to the official announcement of Google’s next smartphones, new leaks of the two devices seem to come out every day. The most recent leak is for the LG-made 5.2-inch Nexus model, with the first-ever actual images of the device being shown, as opposed to the alleged renders that popped up last week. Renders of the Huawei-made 5.7-inch Nexus model also popped up at around the same time.
We waved goodbye to the Nexus 5 when Google stopped selling its 2013 flagship Android smartphone earlier this year, but it might be time to say hello to a revamped version. Rumors in May suggested that Google was working with partners Huawei and LG to produce two new Nexus phones — a 5.7-inch Huawei device, and a 5.2-inch model with the Korean manufacturer. Now, thanks to a leaked photo originally posted in the Nexus Indonesia Google+ community, we might have our first glimpse of the new Nexus 5 in the wild. The picture shows the back of a white Nexus device. At the base is a sticker featuring a small red circle that appears to be LG’s logo, suggesting this phone, if legitimate, is the LG device rather than the Huawei collaboration. At the top is a camera lens, and just underneath, a similarly sized circle that looks to be the rumored fingerprint scanner. The image closely resembles renders of the supposed LG device, leaked late last week, with a rounded back and a camera that appears to protrude slightly from the case.
