LG will build the upcoming Nexus smartphone, but it will be based on an unreleased prototype, said the report. It is expected that the Nexus 5 (2015) will be smaller and cheaper than the Nexus 6. The latest report falls in line with an earlier report that stated the Google will make two Nexus devices – LG Angler and  Huawei Bullhead. The LG Angler will reportedly be a 5.2″ device that will be sort of a Nexus 5 (2015) edition. LG is apparently planning to equip the device with the hexa-core Snapdragon 808 that they used in the LG G4. The phone is likely to have a battery capacity of 2700 mAH but it hasn’t been confirmed yet. It is expected that the device will be launched with Android M.

LG was responsible for previously manufacturing Nexus 4 and 5, while the latest Nexus 6 was made by Motorola. Last month a different report stated that next generation Nexus phone will sport a 3D camera and come with two camera modules and an infrared sensor. It is not clear when will Google will launch the Nexus devices.
