New details of the LG Nexus 5 (2015) have surfaced online.

Insiders recently relayed a new batch of information regarding the upcoming LG handset. Even though it did not include any word on the device's official name or eventual pricing, it did reveal a chockfull of new specifications.

According to sources from Android Police, LG's Nexus 5 (2015) will have a 5.2-inch 1080p touchscreen display, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 808 chipset, 2,700 mAh battery and 3GB of RAM.

The handset will come in three color variants. Aside from the generic black and white, fans will also have an option for a blue Nexus 5. The device will be fitted with a 12.3-megapixel main camera and a five-megapixel selfie shooter.

Sources are torn as to whether LG's upcoming offering will have 16 GB or 32 GB internal storage. However, they have confirmed that the device will indeed have a USB type-C port. It is unclear though whether it is the newer USB 3 or merely upgraded USB 2.0, reminiscent of what the OnePlus 2 is fitted with.

Another takeaway from the recent specs sheet of the LG-made Nexus 5 is its use of the Snapdragon 808, which is an older chipset from Qualcomm. In defense of the Snapdragon 808, GSM Arena noted, "With the issues surrounding the 810 and its heat-generating abilities, this one's bound to be a cooler choice (literally)."

The site also took notice of the device going with a 1080p display. It was a conservative move considering it will entail less demand on battery life than the mainstream QHD panel.

It is still unclear what the LG-made Nexus 5 would run although Google's current generation Nexus 5 was seeded with the forthcoming Android 6.0 Marshmallow which made wonders for the device's battery life.

According to a German tech site Computer Base, as relayed by 9to5Mac, results indicated that an Android M-supported Nexus 5 lasts 300% longer than those running on the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.

The German testers used two Nexus 5 smartphones for their experiment. The first one ran on the Lollipop while the other ran on the Android 6.0 Marshmallow aka the Android M.

After leaving both devices idle for a day, the Nexus 5 on the Lollipop consumed 12 percent charge while the one running Android M merely deducted 4.5 percent charge. After two days, the Lollipop Nexus 5 had lost 24 percent of its battery life, while the Android M Nexus 5 only lost nine percent.

The Lollipop Nexus 5 could last a maximum of 200 hours when idle while the Android M Nexus 5 could last up to 533 hours if untouched.

Folks from LG might have gotten hold of this news already. If not, then they should.
