Fresh reports have surfaced regarding the Nexus 5 (2015) claiming that Google will be collaborating with Chinese OEM Huawei for the 2nd Gen Nexus, accompanied by leaked technical specifications of the upcoming smartphone. There have been contradictory reports in the media about Google being in talks with different manufacturers, such as Huawei, LG and Motorola, for manufacturing the next-gen Nexus handset.

Recent reports in the South Korean media had indicated that Google was more likely to choose LG to build the next-gen Nexus 5 smartphone in 2015. Speculations that LG would build the Nexus 5 this year became even stronger after executives from Google were spotted making visits to various company locations, such as LG Display and its facilities for manufacturing smartphone components, like wireless charging modules and cameras with optical image stabilization.

But with Google holding talks with different manufacturers, new speculations claimed that instead of just one Nexus 2015 device, the company could launch two devices this year, including a Nexus tablet and a Nexus 5 2015 phone made by different OEMs. According to some reports, Huawei would manufacture the Nexus smartphone this year and LG would manufacture the tablet. It was also possible that LG would manufacture both the smartphone as well as the tablet, while Huawei could come out with budget variants of these devices.

Now fresh reports suggest that the Huawei made Nexus will feature Samsung's 5.7-inch QuadHD AMOLED display with a 2,560 x 1,440 pixel resolution and will be powered by the Snapdragon 810 64-bit octa-core processor.

There are also contradictory speculations about the Google Nexus 5 2015 release date, with some reports claiming that it could be launched in Q3, while others believe a Q4 launch to be more likely. Google has always launched a new Nexus smartphone towards the end of the year in line with the timing of its release of the next-gen Android OS. This makes it likely that the company plans to release the Nexus 7 sometime towards the later part of 2015. Some reports also point to Google unveiling the Nexus 5 at the Google I/O 2015 conference scheduled to be held towards the end of this month.
