A video showing what LG's 2015 Nexus smartphone might look like is doing the rounds online, Digital Spy reports.

The footage was created by USwitch in conjunction with @OnLeaks based on schematics from accessory manufacturers - so there's a good chance the real McCoy won't be a million miles from this.

The device in the video appears to feature a metal frame and plastic backing, with a fingerprint scanner on the rear and a USB Type-C connector at the bottom.

Previous reports suggest that the new LG Nexus will include a 5.2-inch display with an as-yet unknown resolution, and measure in at 146.9 x 72.9 x 8-9.8mm.

LG is not the only company believed to be working on a Nexus smartphone for Google, with Huawei said to be developing the successor to the Nexus 6.

Google is yet to announce when its 2015 Nexus hardware will be unveiled.
