this episode of Edward authorities brought to you by domain.com o LG and Huawei gods please restore Nexus to its former glory remember this puppy the Nexus 5 this thing was simple elegant and had flagship power all for 350 bucks glorious unlike more recently we have the nexus 6 which is a beautiful big phone if you love big phones but there wasn't anything super innovative super new and it was expensive whereas the original Nexus 5 truly gave other manufacturers an idea of what a flagship powered android phone could be now when it comes to producing Nexus phones LG has an impressive record the South Korean Giants previous efforts are the most affordable and celebrated smartphones on Google's Nexus roster although LG's current flagship handset is more expensive than devices like the oneplus 2 or the Moto X style it is still quite a bit cheaper than flagships from Samsung and HTC and we'd expect the Nexus 5 2015 to push the pricing envelope even further what might really work for the Nexus program is for LG to return to the basics that means delivering a solid product without too many bells and whistles but at the same time working to keep compromises and sacrifices to a minimum to ensure a flagship level experience and an affordable price I know what you're thinking you're thinking Jace come on you want too much you want both innovation and power and a cheap price but the Nexus 5 the original did strike a sweet balance thankfully the recent leaked images seem to suggest that's exactly what we'll see while the LG Nexus 5 2015 will have some modern amenities like a fingerprint scanner and possibly front-facing speakers its design still has the minimalist quality that many of us appreciated with the original Nexus 5 now let's talk cheddar what's it going to cost if Google and LG really want to hit here they'll need to reach a price point comparable to Motorola's Moto X pure edition if LG can do this while delivering experience that is somewhat on par with the LG g4 they'll be sure to have another modest hit on their hands rumored to be tasked with the construction of Google's larger Nexus tablet we to see huawei go all in on the hardware front and produce a well-balanced powerhouse hopefully the company's new handset will draw inspiration from its top shelf p8 which features an excellent metal body and one of the better cameras that we've seen in a smartphone in quite a while even though the ph octa-core hisilicon processor holds up pretty well we'd like to see Huawei's king-sized handset ship with a more prominent chip in tow for now it's hard to say what the new hallway Nexus will look like but a recent leak suggests that it could have an all metal design with front facing speakers and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner looking at the typical pricing of hallways previous devices it's very possible that the huawei nexus could bring us a premium experience at a pricing that is at least a little more aggressive in what we saw with the motorola nexus 6 thus giving us the best of both worlds when it comes down to it LG's biggest challenge will be producing a handset that feels like more than just a shrunken g4 running vanilla Android and as for a huawei steam its biggest challenge will likely be dealing with skeptics who want a phone from a more popular manufacturer like Samsung HTC or Sony and both companies will have to launch their devices with competitive price points in order to be successful now when the original Nexus 5 came out I called it flagship power without the flagship price and that was true and I hope it's true with the new Nexus devices coming out but I believe that if the Nexus brain is going to mean something they need to go back to the original intention and that intention was to demonstrate to other manufacturers what is possible with an android-powered device you see the original Nexus 5 wasn't just elegant and sleek and cheap it was fast it demonstrated what a slimmed down version of Android could do so what meaningful push what meaningful innovation can these new Nexus devices bring to really push the envelope let me know in the comments below and no I've not forgotten about your
