I was googling the other day and came across a few articles that are talking about LG being the makers of another 5.2 inch Nexus 5 (2015)

http://www.geeksnack.com/2015/05/12/...h-marshmallow/

http://www.androidpit.com/nexus-5-20...specs-features

I'm in desperate need of a new Nexus, my Nexus 5 is dying a very awful death quickly - I'm thinking it's a battery issue - but I don't know if I can wait for a late 2015 release. I really really hope whatever replaces the 5 is at a similar price point - I just don't want to spend $800 on an unlocked phone.

Big fan of my Nexus 5 and want another one. I thing the 6 is to big, just don't like the feel of it. A 5.1 or 5.2 inch screen would be nice. Keeping my eye on this and holding off on my upgrade.

Please be a new and improved Nexus 5, keeping it the same size.

I'm due for a new phone. An updated Nexus 5 would be awesome.

I skipped the Nexus 6 and my 5 is still running great so we'll see what happens. If the price point is right I might refresh my 5. I really hope they come out with an assortment of colours right away though. My red N5 is gorgeous and gets a lot of comments still.

N5 Red is still a great phone. Did have to replace my battery though.

The Huawei could be interesting but it depends on price... N6 was far too rich for me, but could easily be persuaded to have a bigger phone.

The only battery issue I've had is recently. Would plug in the phone and it would display charing but it wouldn't. Would stay stuck on whatever percentage it was when I plugged it in. A quick restart fixed it but that's the only battery issue I've had.

Mine got to the point were it wouldn't hold a charge. Standby was about 6 hrs. Screen time about ten minutes. Brought it to iFix for a new battery and all is good now.

I hope they're relatively cheap. My old HTC Amaze did great until about 6 months ago. I was excited about the new Nexus 6, then saw the price. Holy crap, no way. Was considering an OPO but even that was pricey compared to N5. Wound up getting a good deal on a BB Z30, and love it, but would consider going back to Android if these new Nexuses (er Nexii?) were affordable. Love the Z30 but some important android apps don't work properly (eg TeamSnap and anything Google other than Maps), even with patching.
