Using a Nexus 5 (2015) render from Jermaine Smit, Shadesta9 focused on one particular detail about the Nexus 5, the front-facing speakers. “We know it has front-facing speakers but not what sort,” the Reddit user said in a post, offering Nexus fans three different Nexus 5 concepts that use front-facing speakers similar to what some Motorola, HTC and Sony Android devices.
