Internally known as the Angler , the rumored LG nexus device is infact a replacement for the Nexus 5 , the device , which is said to have a 5.2" display is basically a slimmed down LG G4 as the phone is rumored to have a Snapdragon 808 as well , other specs are still unknown ,and even the existence of the phone is also unknown at this point , if it becomes true , this will be the Nexus 5 for 2015 .

The second device , from Huawei is known by the code as Bullhead , although the names are a bit fishy, Google has a reputation of giving maritime related codenames for its nexus devices so it will possibly turn out to be true .The Huawei device is rumored to have a 5.7" display with possibly a 2K resolution and most of its design might be based on the P8 Max launched recently , but instead of using their own chipset , Huawei is said to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 Soc with a 3500 mAh battery , further details are unknown and there is a chance that the Huawei Bullhead might turn out to be some bull after all .
