Reports on Monday have served up potential specifications for the rumoured LG Nexus 5 refresh.
According to Android Police sources, the follow up to 2013’s raw Android handset will pack a 5.2-inch display with a 1080p resolution.
Doing the heavy lifting will be the six-core Snapdragon 808 processor, featuring two A57 chips, rather than the four sitting within the octa-core 810.
The report says that SoC will be paired with 3GB of RAM and an Adreno 418, which will offer “respectable” performance.
In terms of cameras, the report says there’ll be a 12.3 megapixel rear-facing sensor and a 5-megapixel sensor on the front of the device.
It’ll be available in 16GB and 32GB models according to the report and all of this will add up to a sub-flagship price point, for what looks like a sub-flagship handset.
