There have been many rumors lately claiming Google will launch Android 6.0 Marshmallow and new Nexus smartphones this fall, but few nailed the exact release date.

There's one particular report from late August coming from the Korean media, which stated that LG's Nexus 5 (2015) would be made available starting September 29.

Well, it looks like the information was accurate since CNET confirms Google will hold a dedicated event for the reveal of its latest Nexus smartphones, one made by LG and the other one manufactured by Huawei.

Along with the unveiling of the Nexus smartphones, Google is also expected to launch the next version of its mobile operating system called Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

The event will take place in San Francisco, United States, according to people familiar with Google's future plans. As expected, LG's Nexus smartphone will be a rather standard flagship smartphone with 5.2-inch full HD (1080p) display, hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor and 3GB of RAM.

Huawei's Nexus smartphone will be the real flagship

However, Nexus fans looking for a top tier smartphone will probably want to grab Huawei's smartphone, which is said to pack a much larger 5.7-inch display with Quad HD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution.

Huawei Nexus 6 (2015) will be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor and 3GB of RAM. There will be multiple variants available on the market, based on the amount of storage, so we expect different prices.

Both Nexus smartphones will be initially available for purchase via Google Play Store, so not everyone will be able to get them since Google's store is not yet available in all countries.

The market names of both Nexus smartphones have yet to be confirmed. It's also worth mentioning that Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 (2015) will be the first handsets to run Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system right out of the box.
