LG’s Nexus 5 (2015) could be available from September 29, claims Korean website
June 27, 2025
Fans ofLG’s work on previous Nexus phones are anxiously looking forward to the so-calledNexus 5 (2015), a device that has leaked extensively over the past few weeks.
One detail that has eluded us so far is the LG Nexus’ release date, but if this report from Korean websiteMKPostis accurate, we’re only a month away from the phone’s grand entrance.
MKPostclaims that the Nexus 5 (2015) will hit the Google Store on September 29. Reportedly, this information comes from an anonymous source who has correctly predicted the release date of the originalNexus 5, back in 2013. The LG Nexus will be made available through the Google Store in South Korea, says the report, but it’s not clear whether September 29 is when the phone launches internationally or in Korea.
The source didn’t know whetherHuawei’s Nexuswould launch at the same date.
To be perfectly clear, this is a story from a source that isn’t known for tech rumors reporting. That considered, September 29 makes sense for the release of the Nexus 5 (2015). Google appears ready to introduceAndroid 6.0 Marshmallow(with the recent release of the final SDK) andAndroid Payis right around the corner. Google typically launches Nexus smartphones around October, and late September fits that timeline.
What else do we know about the LG-made Nexus? Provided the body of reports is not hopelessly flawed, we know quite a lot: just earlier this week we’ve seen apurported spec sheet, andhands-on imagesandrenders based on CAD schematicsof the device give us a pretty good idea of what to expect.
