Is this the new Nexus 5?

The LG-made Nexus 5 has long been considered one of the best smartphones of its kind, combining reasonably high-end hardware with a simple design and moderate price tag. It's no surprise that many were disappointed when Google discontinued the phone at the end of last year.

Those craving another 5-inch Nexus may however be in luck; rumours suggest LG is building a brand new Nexus 5 with a slightly larger screen, fingerprint reader, and updated internals.

Today, a leaked photo allegedly showing the back of the new Nexus 5 gave credence to these rumours.
