While not officially announced, it is no secret that Huawei is teaming up with Google to build the new Nexus flagship, the Chinese company taking over duties from Motorola. We are finding out more and more about this handset and the latest report sheds some light on the blistering specs the Huawei Nexus will boast.

Leaks by former @evleaks whistle-blower Evan Blass, the Huawei device is shaping up to be a beast. Blass has been making a comeback in the leaking business over the last few weeks and while he is sometime wide of the mark he has been right so many times that we err towards believing him most times.

The Huawei Nexus will come with a Qualcomm made Snapdragon 820 processor, a chipset that has not even been launched yet but should be by the Nexus launch date. That chipset will be coupled with 4GB of RAM, while there will be a 5.7-inch Quad HD screen on the front, a full 0.3-inches smaller than the behemoth panel on the Nexus 6.

The big news is that Huawei will include a fingerprint scanner, a new feature for the Nexus range but not one that is a total surprise. For a start Huawei already puts fingerprint scanners in its smartphones, and Google included a fingerprint API within the Android Pay software that comes with Android M.
