Meanwhile, International Business Times reported that Google Nexus 5 2015 features are similar to that of LG G4. If the report proved to be true, the upcoming Nexus smartphone will sport a design similar to LG G3, but with a metal casing thanks to latest technology used by the company.



There are also rumors stating that the smartphone will be equipped with a high caliber camera as the advanced camera module will begin its mass production at LG Innotek's plant this week as the LG G4 will be finally revealed to the public later this month.
