The new image comes from AndroidPIT, which claims to have received it from trusted sources, is in line with previous leaked Nexus 5 (2015) aka Nexus 5X images. The website however asserts that the image shows the new LG-made Nexus in its "final form."
In line with earlier leaks, the image shows the fingerprint scanner on the back panel of the LG-made Nexus, sporting a circular design. Unlike some previous leaks, the new leaked image shows the rear camera protruding slightly, and not placed on a raised bar. The primary camera is accompanied by dual-LED flash. The new image again shows the Nexus branding on the rear panel of the handset.
A recent report suggested that Google would launch the next Nexus smartphones - manufactured by Huawei and LG - on September 29 running the release build of Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Last week, a report even claimed the new Nexus smartphones will go on sale starting September 29 and will be available via the Google Store.

Based on preliminary leaks, the LG Nexus 5 (2015) is said to feature a 5.2-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) display; Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor; 3GB of RAM; Adreno 418 GPU, and a 5-megapixel front camera. A USB Type-C port, 2700mAh battery, 12.3-megapixel rear camera are being also tipped for the device.
