The LG-made Nexus 5 (2015) made headlines earlier this week when it popped up in the AnTuTu benchmarking database, where it scored an insane 85,000 points.

For comparison’s sake, when the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge got launched, the smartphone was spotted scoring “just” 69,019 points in the same application.

Anyway, while specs for the LG Nexus 5 remain a mystery, serial leakster Evan Blass is now bringing us information related to the Huawei Nexus.

While some folks have been circumspect about Huawei’s capability of building a decent Nexus device, mainly because the company has never collaborated with Google in the past, the leaked specs show us that the phone could end up being quite massive.
Huawei's Nexus will be pretty premium

According to the sources, the Huawei Nexus will arrive with a spacious 5.7-inch Quad HD display (2560 x 1440 pixels) and Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 820 platform underneath it.

Hopefully, the Snapdragon 820 will come to solve the pesky overheating issues that plagued the Snapdragon 810 and will be a pretty huge performance monster too. And judging by the benchmark results of the Nexus 5 (2015), which is also believed to run on the platform, the Huawei Nexus won’t disappoint.

We should also expect the new Huawei Nexus to don a metal body, a first for the Nexus product line, plus a fingerprint scanner. Google was said to be experimenting with such an authentication system with the Nexus 6, so it’s not really a shock that the Nexus phones of 2015 will come with such a function.

Moreover, Evan Blass goes on to mention that the handset will ship out to customers in Q4 2015, which means we still have some time to wait before seeing the phone arrive into the wild, so we need to be patient.

Google surprised everyone when it failed to say anything about an upcoming Nexus device at its I/O 2015 conference in late May, but it seems that the search giant is still on track to release new smartphones until the end of the year.

We’ve been hearing rumors that Huawei might actually be in charge of building a tablet for Google, but given the fact that Evan Blass’ predictions are quite accurate, we have to conclude the search behemoth will be releasing two smartphones this year and no tablet.
