We’re eagerly waiting to see whether Google is going to release any Nexus smartphones this year, and the evidence is mounting that it will indeed launch two devices this year – one made by Huawei, the other by LG. Thanks to @onleaks, we now have alleged dimensions of the Huawei Nexus and LG Nexus, along with a list of suggested specs. According to the leak the Huawei Nexus will be 159.4×78.3×6.6/8.5mm whereas the LG Nexus is going to be 146.9×72.9×8/9.8mm – we’re assuming the 6.6/8.5mm and the 8/9.8mm are the thicknesses of the device at the edge and at the middle of the device.
Alone, those dimensions don’t mean a whole lot, so let’s compare these new Nexus dimensions to the devices that they’ll be replacing: the Motorola Nexus 6 and LG Nexus 5. The Nexus 6 measured 159.3 x 83 x 10.1 mm and the Nexus 5 137.9 x 69.2 x 8.6 mm. As you can see, the Huawei Nexus is going to be a very similar size to the Nexus 6, despite having a 5.7-inch display as opposed to a 5.96-inch one. If these dimensions are true, the new LG Nexus 5 is going to be around 10mm taller than the original Nexus 5, which isn’t insignificant – though previous leaks of the LG Nexus do agree that it quite a stocky device.
Dimensions aren’t all that these leaks had to offer: @onleaks suggests that both devices are going to have front-facing speakers, a fingerprint scanner on the back and a USB Type-C port right where we like it. That’s a hell of a package, and we can’t wait to see if this all true sometime in October or November.
