LG Nexus 5 (2015) Live Photo Shows Up Online
A live image of what is presumed to be the LG Nexus 5 (2015) has been making the rounds online.
Less than a week after renders of the upcoming LG Nexus 5 (2015) leaked on the Internet via @OnLeaks and uSwitch, a live photo of the smartphone was revealed on a Google+ post.
The Google+ account, owned by user Inno Yudha, confirms the leaked renders @OnLeaks posted on Twitter, showing a white variant of the LG Nexus 5 (2015).
The earlier render, lifted from detailed factory schematics provided to third-party accessory manufacturers, pointed to a fingerprint sensor at the back of the phone, while the live photo shows a raised circular piece where the camera sensor may be, and what appears to be a circular fingerprint scanner just below it.
Looking nothing like the 2013's Nexus 5, the LG Nexus 5 (2015) points towards a new design direction LG may be taking in their future handsets.
The LG Nexus 5 (2015) is expected to come in 5.2-inch and 5.7-inch variants featuring full HD P-OLED display with a 1920 x 1080 resolution over a Snapdragon 620 processor supported by 4GB of RAM and 65GB of internal storage.
It will have a 13MP rear camera with dual-LED flash, and a 4MP front-facing camera that will feature Iris Detection technology. Supporting Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC, the phone will run on a non-removable 3,180mAh battery and a wireless charging receiver.
It is also expected to incorporate a USB Type-C connector, front stereo speakers, and carry Google's new Android M operating system on board.
From the live photo, it is yet unclear whether the handset is made of plastic material, or have a metal framework as earlier supposed
Rumors have also pointed out the LG Nexus 5 (2015) may have an October release window instead of the earlier speculated September launch.
