If Evan Blass (@evleaks) is truly retired, he is the most active retired person I have every seen – but we’re hardly complaining. Renowned leaker, @evleaks, has today dropped details about the upcoming Huawei Nexus which is rumoured to be releasing later this year. Thought to be based on Huawei‘s Ascend Mate 8, it appears the Huawei Nexus is going to inherit at least a few parts of its predecessor including a 5.7-inch Quad HD display, a metal frame and a fingerprint sensor which traditionally has sat just under the rear camera. It’s also be alleged that the Huawei Nexus will use a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, which also has yet to be released, but differs from the Kirin processor that Huawei is likely to favour in the Ascend Mate 8.
Huawei Nexus sounds impressive so far: 5.7″ QHD w/ metal body, SD820 SoC, fingerprint reader. Ships Q4.

The last tidbit from today’s leak is that the Huawei Nexus is going to be shipping in Q4, presumably this year. It will likely be launching along side the LG-made Nexus 5 2015, as a Nexus 6 replacement, though we’ll have to see how this all shakes out later this year.
