this means is that we could look forward to a 5.7-inch model from Huawei and a smaller 5.2-inch model from LG, thus giving customers the choice of choosing between handsets sizes, kind of like what Apple did with the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus.

That's an unprecedented move from Google, though it's not a bad idea to offer multiple options at the same time. After all, not everyone wants a massive phablet, and a smaller alternative should mean the company has something for everybody later this year.

In terms of hardware it is unclear if both phones will sport similar hardware with the display being the main differentiator. Unless Google is trying to make one phone a high-end version and the other a low-mid range model.
