Google and LG have been rumored lately to have already started the work on a new Nexus device following the launch of Nexus 4 late last year, so as to continue the tradition of having a new Google phone launched each year with top-of-the-line specs, yet nothing has been officially confirmed on it for now.

However, this did not prevent rumors from spreading, or users from starting to dream of what the upcoming smartphone might have to offer to them.

Some users, however, decided to take the matter into their own hands, and came up with concept devices that would offer us a glimpse at their own view of the upcoming mobile phone.

One of these Nexus 5 concepts comes from D. Saif, and suggests that the handset might be built as the result of collaboration between multiple companies out there, including LG, HTC, Motorola, Sony, and Sharp.

Running under Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie, the concept phone sports a 5-inch screen, though offering users the possibility to choose a 5.5-inch 1080p panel for it, or even a 6-inch 4K one. Apparently, specs can be customized according to buyers’ desire.

With an Ultra HD screen, it could easily prove the top smartphone out there, that’s for sure, especially if priced as low as $299. For the time being, however, this is only a concept device, and users should look at it as such.

This Nexus 5 concept also features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2 GB of RAM (with a 4GB option also available), and 64GB / 128GB / 256 GB of internal memory options.

The specs list of the device also includes a 3000 mAh battery (optionally 5000 mAh), and an 8-megapixel photo snapper, though users could also opt in for a 16MP sensor.

As can be seen in the image attached to this post, available courtesy of concept-phones, the screen takes most of the handset’s front, leaving little room for the bezel.

Unfortunately, regardless of how appealing such a Nexus 5 would look like, we doubt that Google and its manufacturing partners will actually come up with such a device anytime soon, but stay tuned to learn more on the matter.
