Traditionally, Google is known to ship or take pre-orders of its Nexus devices two to three weeks after the official announcement. There will be no exception for the new generation Nexus duos as well. New information on the pre-orders of the LG Nexus 5 (2015) and the Huawei Nexus 6 (2015) have surfaced just two weeks before the alleged official announcement of the smartphones on Sep. 29 in San Francisco.

According to Talk Android, sources familiar with the matter revealed that Google will start taking pre-orders of both the LG and Huawei-made Nexus smartphones from Oct.13, just two weeks after the launch. But the aforementioned dates and event have not been confirmed by Google as of this writing.
