Huawei Nexus Specs Leaked: Metal Design, Dual LED Flash Camera and Fingerprint Scanner

Google has yet to release its next generation Nexus devices for the year 2015 and this year, it is rumored that they will be releasing not just one but two devices. According to a Tech Times report, Google is working with two companies, Chinese manufacturer Huawei and Korean company LG for its next set of Nexus devices.

The report further noted that Nexus devices were among the most popular in market mainly because of the "pure Android experience" it provides and of course, being Google devices, they are also among the first to receive Android software updates, earlier than the rest of the Android devices in the market.

If these reports turn out to be true, it will be the first time that Google is collaborating with a Chinese company for their flagship Nexus device. The fact that Google is releasing two devices at a time is another first. With the Huawei partnership, Google is also in a good position to introduce its Play services in the huge Chinese smartphone market.
