Leak: New details emerge on upcoming Nexus devices from LG and Huawei

It’s never too early for Nexus leaks, am I right? While we’ve seen the odd leak in recent times showing off possible specifications and rear panels, today we have not one, but two leaks about both the Nexus handsets that are allegedly being developed by LG and Huawei. 

According to serial leaker @OnLeaks, the Nexus handset being developed by LG will likely sport a metal body as well as the following specifications:

• 5.2-Inch display
• Front-facing speakers
• Fingerprint sensor on the rear
• USB Type-C
• Dimensions: 146.9 x 72.9 x 8/9.8mm

The Huawei developed Nexus will apparently also have a metal body, along with the following specifications:

• 5.7-Inch display
• Front-facing speakers
• Fingerprint sensor on the rear
• USB Type-C
• Dimensions: 159.4 x 78.3 x 6.6/8.5mm

As you can see, both handsets feature a fingerprint sensor on the rear panel, front-facing speakers and USB Type-C. It’s likely that this interpretation of the USB Type-C standard will include both USB 3.1 data transfer and quick charging, unlike the stripped down version that is present in the OnePlus 2.

Besides today’s leaks, it’s rumoured that the Huawei Nexus could be the first smartphone to offer global LTE support. It’s also rumoured to use the Snapdragon 810 processor (not the 820) while the LG Nexus could use the Snapdragon 808.

While it’s interesting to see what LG and Huawei are planning with their respective Nexus handsets, it should be noted that anything can change in the coming months, thus the proverbial pinch of salt should be taken with today’s leaks. What would you like to see in the next Nexus device(s)? Let us know in the comments below.
