We’ve been seeing tons of Nexus-related rumors in the past few months which can only mean one thing: it shouldn’t be long before Google finally unveils two Nexus smartphones, one made by LG and the other manufactured by Huawei.

Specs of the two devices have already leaked online and so have a few specifications related to the phones’ build and visual qualities. So by now, you’re probably pretty curious to see what the new Nexuses will be bringing to the table, in terms of aesthetics.

Today we are going to satisfy your curiosity with what seems to be the first live image of the back of the LG-made Nexus 5 (2015). The leakster is none other than popular tech blogger Marques Brownlee, so we tend to believe that this image is showcasing the real deal.

The picture depicts the 5.2-inch LG-made Nexus in white and visibly displays a fingerprint sensor on the back, as well as the camera that protrudes from the body of the handset. The snapper is thought to come with laser autofocus and dual-LED flash as well.

The new Nexus 5 will have USB Type-C

What else do we know about the upcoming LG Nexus 5 (2015)? For starters, the phone should make it out with a 5.2-inch display with FHD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) and draw life from a Snapdragon 620 processor (yet to be announced by Qualcomm) fitted with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.

The LG Nexus (2015) is said to feature a 13MP rear camera with IMX278 RGBW sensor and a 6-element f/1.8 aperture lens. Furthermore, up in front we have a 4MP selfie snapper. Other specs we should be expecting are a 3,180 mAh battery, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth 4.2.

The phone should make it out with a metal body, although this is not really evident in the image.

We expect the Nexus 5 (2015) to make it out on the market later on this year, probably with Android M onboard.
