New LG Nexus “likely” to have metal body, report says

As great as the Nexus 6 is, it wasn’t quite the device everyone wanted or expected from Google. For most, the 6-inch screen was just too big but according to a new report from @onleaks, the next Nexus device, manufactured by Nexus, could be 5.2-inches and have a metal body.

We’ve seen Samsung make the move away from plastic and budget-looking materials for their flagship devices, and we could see Google make the same leap with the new Nexus.

Not only this, but it could also have front-facing speakers, similar to the Nexus 6, a fingerprint sensor on the back, and also adopt the new USB Type-C connector like the OnePlus 2.

The new Nexus would be longer when compared to the Nexus 5, with a height of 146.9mm, which is probably due to the front-facing speakers on the top and bottom of the device.

As for the bigger Nexus, it’ll have a 5.7-inch display, again according to a report, as well as all the other previously mentioned features found on the smaller model.
