A number of interesting new smartphones are scheduled to be released this year, which means that consumers will have a lot of options to choose from.
One of the highly anticipated smartphone releases is the second-generation Nexus 5, which is set to be made available late this year.
Gizmo China earlier reported that iSuppli director of China research Kevin Yang confirmed that the upcoming smartphone powered by Google will now be manufactured by Huawei. According to the report, Google chose the Chinese mobile phone manufacturer because it is currently the largest competitor of Xiaomi.
Rumors claim that the soon-to-be released Nexus 5 2015 will come with a 5.1-inch quad HD resolution display, an aluminum housing, a built-in 3 GB of RAM, a 20-megapixel rear camera with a 5-megapixel front-facing selfie shooter as well as a 3000 mAh battery.
Meanwhile, two highly competitive smartphones were announced last month. One of them comes from the South Korean mobile brand LG, and the other one comes from the Japanese consumer electronics and mobile manufacturer Sony.
LG's latest flagship smartphone, the LG G4, comes with a 5.5-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution. It also reportedly has a Qualcomm MSM8992 Snapdragon 808 chipset with dual-core 1.8 GHz Cortex-A57 & quad-core 1.44 GHz Cortex-A53. The smartphone also has3 GB of RAM and 16-megapixel primary camera with a powerful 8-megapixel secondary front-facing camera, and Android 5.1 Lollipop straight out of the box
On the other hand, the Xperia Z4 from Sony will also be released in the latter half of the year just like the Nexus 5 2015. The new Sony flagship phone reportedly comes with 5.2 inch IPS LCD capacitive shatter-proof glass touchscreen. It also comes with a Qualcomm MSM8994 Snapdragon 810 chipset and 3 GB of RAM. It has a clear 20-megapixel primary camera and 5.1 secondary front-facing camera. But unlike the LG G4, the Sony Xperia Z4 will come with the older version of the Android 5.0 Lollipop when released.
