Rumors about the upcoming LG-made Nexus 5 (2015) and Huawei Nexus are intensifying, which is good reason to assume that Google is not far from launching the two devices, probably this fall alongside Android M.

We’ve been talking a lot about the LG-made 5 (2015), telling you that it will probably come with a 5.2-inch display with 1080p resolution. Well, if you have been wondering what the phone will actually end up looking like, a collaboration between uSwitch and @OnLeaks will give you a glimpse of what might be waiting for us in the near future.

We’re told that the renders we’re about to show you are based on detailed factory schematics provided to accessory makers, so in theory, they should be pretty accurate.

These images come to confirm some of the information we've already shared with you about the handset. For starters, the phone will come with a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner plus a pair of stereo speakers.

Would you buy the Nexus 5 (2015) if it looked like this?

The blueprints also reveal a USB Type-C port located at the bottom plus the following dimensions: 5.78 x 2.87 x 0.31 inches / 146.9 x 72.9 x 8 mm. On the back, we also notice the protruding camera.

While the current leak doesn’t mention anything about materials used to build the phone, earlier info indicated that the LG Nexus 5 (2015) would take advantage of a metal body.

We were also told the device would receive power from a Snapdragon 620 fitted with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The phone is tipped to arrive with a 3,180 mAh non-removable battery plus a MediaTek MT3188 wireless charging receiver, a Marvell Avastar 88W8897 connectivity chipset for 802.11ac Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth 4.2.

The LG Nexus (2015) should make it out with a 13MP rear camera with IMX278 RGBW sensor, a 6-element f/1.8 aperture lens, OIS, laser autofocus, and dual-tone LED flash, while on the front will sit a 4MP selfie sensor. According to the rumor mill, the handset should make it out with a $300-$400 / €274-€364 price tag.
