Based on the numerous leaks related to Google’s upcoming Nexus devices coming to us these days, we can only assume that the search giant will unveil the new models soon enough.

This year, Google is partnering up again with LG for a remake of the popular 2013 Nexus 5, and a few days ago the specs of the device leaked into the wild once again, painting a different picture compared to what we had seen before.

So if you are one of those people who are excited about getting their hands on a new and shiny Nexus 5, the good news is that the Korean media (via G for Games) has already provided us with a possible date for when the new LG-made Nexus phone will hit retail shelves.

The new Nexus 5 might be available towards the end of September

According to the source, the Nexus 5 (2015) will be making its way into Google’s virtual shelves on September 29. The Korean publication that provided us with this information was correct two years ago regarding the original Nexus 5’s release date, but even so, you should still take the info with a grain of salt, at least until we hear something of more official nature.

As for specifications, the latest rumors indicate that the LG-made Nexus 5 (2015) should make it out with a 5.2-inch display with 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution (and not 1920 x 1080 pixels as it was previously believed) and 565 ppi.

Under the hood, LG will supposedly make use of a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 chipset, the same silicon piece the company has employed to power its current flagship, the LG G4. The phone also incorporates an Adreno 418 GPU and 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM on the inside.

As for photography, we have a 13MP main snapper with a Sony-made IMX278 sensor and OIS (optical image stabilization).

Earlier information suggested that the LG Nexus 5 might be powered by the unannounced Snapdragon 620 (MSM8976) processor in combination with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage.

Still, the first scenario does seem to make a bit more sense, but we’ll probably see which turns out to be the case on September 29.
