Even if it's real, there's literally nothing to see or guess from, as it's probably still in an engineering case.
It could also be any random Huawei phone.

It matches the case leaks, so yeah...

There were case leaks for the huawei nexus? Since when?
Also it looks just like a huawei phone but black. Does seem to have a fingerprint reader (duh) and type C though. So if it is real, A+ so far.

Didn't the case have like a cutout for the nexus 6 beside it? makes sense it was the bigger one.
Can't say much from the video though but it does look like the fingerprint sensor is on the back but what looks like the power button is all white like the new xperia line.

See below.
Actually, the cut out was inside the case itself, and it fit.

nobody knows if that printout of the nexus was to scale though. Also that case was circular whereas the leak shows a square fingerprint reader like the rest of Huawei's lineup. That and the case maker said it's the LG nexus. Assuming it even has any merit.
Also I expect the Huawei nexus to be noticeably smaller than the nexus 6 being .3 inches smaller with likely tiny bezels. Still big though.

Fair enough, but if this is the Huawei Nexus, then I expect both devices to share a common design language. The Nexus 5 and 9 did. The 6 didn't but only because it was a last-minute repurposing of an existing Moto phone.
-Pyromaniac-

releasing literally the same phone for 3 years in a row will do that to you. The 3rd one somehow has worse design than the 2nd one as well.
smh. We'll see what their Q4 flagship looks like. And then I'm going to guess that their 2016 flagship will be their last attempt at the smartphone market.
Hope he's right. Wouldn't mind the 810 performing well in one damn phone before dying out. Still though, it could be aggressive throttling keeping it down. We'll find out soon enough.

well we have 5 days before the embargo lifts and even longer before the public get their hands on it to find out....I don't like waiting
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
They already said they clocked the main cores at 1.8 ghz which is a step back from the 2ghz say the M9 is clocked at.
True, but the current phones are a lot more aggressive than that. Even the M9 which at launch didn't throttle as much as it did after the first update went lower than that. I wouldn't be shocked to see 200Mhz and aggressive throttling regardless with how well the 810 has been doing.

Ah shit well subjective reading got me

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
M7 can't be great with a 4 MP camera. It was good, but the beginning of their decline.
Agreed. Sexist phone I've had the pleasure of owning. The only phone that I've ever owned where random people on the streets or events in Chicago asked me what phone it was lol.

Where there's smoke....
Nothing we didn't know but whatevs. Take what we can get!

Yes it was. It had a much more modern chipset than the Galaxy S3 which still rocked A9s. You should also note that the HTC One X SKU in that benchmark has an S4 Pro, the same chipset as the Nexus 4.This is some selective-ass memory here. Nexus 4 didn't have LTE and had shit battery life. Nexus 5 was a much more comparable device to flagships, but it didn't surpass a single one.
Nexus 4 was not spec'd at or above the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S3 or One X at all. Are you joking?
OP made the claim that only the camera held the Nexus 5 back from competitors, which is outrageous. These are real concessions that are made for practical reasons.
The battery was inherited from the LG Optimus G, same size as in the GS3 and BIGGER than in the One X. Apart from lacking LTE and a 1/4" rear camera it was a flagship.
Edit:
A step forward.
A57s should never be clocked above what ARM recommends, especially not when there are four of them together with four A53s that are also clocked too high and a GPU clocked so high it is less power efficient than its predecessor despite being on a new process.
Different SOC, but look at how power consumption goes through the roof as clock speeds increase. This is on a better process as well (14nm).

So far given all the smoke I'd say the only really credible rumours are fingerprint sensor is onboard and 5.2 inch size (bless the lawd).
Everything else I'd say is a bit sketchy to really sketchy. Strictly speaking about the LG nexus. There have been some really credible rumours about the huawei nexus.

Mind elaborating on the huawei nexus? What do you know for the most part?

Good, because my Nexus 5 is starting to fall apart.
USB port fried for whatever reason, wireless charging is starting to fail me (I have to squeeze the back few times to get it working again for a while).
I need this shit now.

Why not pick up a cheap replacement phone in the meantime?

What will be the first phone to get
USB type C?
real
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Uh no?
The international One X has a Tegra. The NA version aka the X(L) has the regular S4 Plus. Then the remix version aka the One X+ had an over clocked Tegra for all the world.

The coming Lumia flagships are going to have USB Type-C with USB 3.0.
But they're probably coming in November, so the Nexus phones should still be first.
I still have a Galaxy Nexus in the drawer, but it's just very annoying to have a phone fail like that. I think I'd rather have a cracked screen.
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
You can get a cheap Moto E for $99.

I'm not spending money on some shitty Android phone, when I already have one that is just as shitty in the drawer. Even if the battery lasts only half a day, I can still charge it at work. Even then, I'd rather buy a cheap, shitty Windows Phone, as that one is guaranteed to be smoother.

The Moto E for 100 bucks seems overpriced.
M7 didn't release in 2015, don't be daft.
Even if the camera resolution was a weak spot, it had OIS and amazing software on top.
M7 was the peak with the M8 being a wash (safe but very solid iteration).
So wait, that box below the camera is the FP sensor? Odd.

literally all huawei phones in recent times are the same. If you're referring to that case leak, that was never intended to be the huawei nexus. It was supposedly the LG nexus.

Here, the cheapest 2nd Gen Moto E costs at least 125 bucks online. The 2nd Gen Moto G is just around 26 bucks more expensive. That's about as much as a Lumia 730 (which is comparable to the Moto G).

Where do you live? You can get a Moto G for $60.
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Why? Hardware wise it's got the same internals as the more expensive Moto G. Only difference is the screen res and the camera. Snap 410 and a gig of ram for $99 is the same internals as a lot of $150-$200 phones.
If anything I'd say those other phones are the over priced ones.
