We’ve rounded up some of the rumoured features the iPhone 6s will probably have in a recent article so I think it’s the perfect time to show some love to its rival – Google Nexus!

I absolutely loved LG-made Nexus 4, and 5, and when Motorola-made Nexus 6 hit stores, and subsequently my hands, I felt what only a kid on Christmas day who received socks can feel. But no more, because Google is once again partnering with LG, and newcomer Huawei.

There are reports that Google will launch two Nexus smartphones this year – one made by LG, and the other by Huawei. But we don’t know this for sure, and maybe the two companies are bundling together to make the supreme smartphone! Or a smartphone, and a tablet. Maybe a phablet and a smartphone! The possibilities are, well, not endless, but there are a couple of options here.

Artem Russakovskii, a respected and well know tech aficionado reports that there will indeed be two devices to hit 2015. One made by LG that will sport a 5.2-inch screen, and a phablet made by Huawei at 5.7-inch.

” If Google indeed rolls with both, it’d be the first time two Nexus phones came out in the same year – a strategy that makes a whole lot of sense to me as not everyone is into behemoths like a Nexus 6.” said Artem.

Google went to LG for the Nexus 6, but the company refused to work on the new iteration in the series. It’s quite a back and forth relationship they have, and hopefully the rumours are not false – even though LG is denying of working on the new smartphone. LG has denied working on the fourth, and fifth installment as well, so I don’t quite believe them when they’re making statements.

Google’s Nexus may interfere with LG’s plans for 2015 – it’s already known that they are planning on releasing the LG G4, G Flex 2, and a G4 Note – the last one being a phablet.

Google released its Q1 2015 earning call, and it states that the company has witnessed a 23% growth over the year ranking up to $1.8 billion, but still it’s 3% less compared to Q3 of 2014. This revenue is based only on their smaller companies like Google Play and Google Store. Google CFO Patrick Pichette states that ” […]  the year over year increase was driven by growth of the Play Store.”, and the decline is due partly because the Nexus 6 was priced the same as the iPhone 6.

So we should be expecting a price drop when the 2015 version will hit stores. Android buyers expect to get the most bang for their buck when acquiring their devices. Price really makes a difference, regardless of what Google may say, especially to Android devices. You can’t compare them to Apple’s line because not only do they have a cult following, but they are the only one producing smartphones that work with iOS. There is no competition in the iOS marketplace, but there is a ton of challengers on the Android market.

Well, now I’m just speculating, and hopefully, my speculations will come true – I think I can speak for everyone when I saw that we would love to see Google come back to the Nexus 4, and 5 business model.

One thing that confuses the hell out of me is what are they going to name their new smartphone? Can’t really name it the Nexus 7 because it already exists, and just adding 2015 to the title seems awful. Their probably re-name it completely so no more Nexus.

• When should we be expecting it to drop?

If we take a look at the Google’s release schedule for its previous devices, then we should expect it to be released sometime in Q3 of this year.

• What specs should we be expecting?

If the rumours are true that LG is indeed going to release the new iteration, then we should be expecting something like, or even better, the LG G4. It has some monster specs. We’ll probably witness QHD+ resolution, a new display technology, bigger and better camera, more RAM, and a new Corning Gorilla Glass protection for sure – amongst other things.
