The Nexus 5 (2015) is one of the most anticipated phones of this year and has been generating all kinds of leaks, rumors and speculations for the past several months. In the latest news, a team has come up with a concept for LG's upcoming Nexus device with a bezeless design and powerful specifications.

Google will reportedly introduce two Nexus phones this year made by LG and Huawei. According to recent reports, one Nexus phone referred to as the 2015 Nexus 5 and codenamed Angler will be manufactured by LG, while the second Nexus phone referred to as the 2015 Nexus 6 and codenamed Bullhead will be manufactured by Chinese vendor Huawei.

The concept for LG's upcoming Nexus device by the DBS team envisions the handset with a bezeless design. The visuals in the form of photographs and a video show the LG Nexus 5 featuring a 5.5-inch QHD AMOLED display and powered by a Snapdragon 820 processor, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of internal storage, which will be expandable up to 1TB via micro-SD card. The LG manufactured Nexus 5 is shown sporting a 20MP main camera with OIS 2.0 (optical image stabilization) and f/1.8 lens, along with a 13MP front camera for selfies. The concept also envisions the new Nexus 5 featuring a fingerprint scanner for unlocking the phone and making online purchases, a heart rate sensor, a USB Type-C connector to reduce the device's charging time, and a 4,000 mAh battery.

The Nexus 5 (2015) is likely to run Google's new operating system Android M out of the box and will reportedly debut in October. Earlier reports have claimed that the Nexus 5 (2015) will be sold at a price of less than $500, as Google plans to make the handset more affordable than the Nexus 6.
