However, the exciting part of these rumors is that both the smaller 5-inch HTC Nexus and the bigger Nexus 6 will have the same design language, the same specs (for the most part) and just be different in terms of size and price.
Now that we know Android N stands for Nougat, the big question on everyone's mind is: which new Nexus phones will be the first to introduce Google's mobile software? The device may also feature a USB Type-C port, Bluetooth 4.2 and bottom-facing speakers. Specs for the other Nexus smartphone, codenames "Sailfish" surfaced last week.
As a refresher, the "Sailfish" will reportedly have a 5-inch 1080p AMOLED display, quad-core processor, 4GB of RAM, 2770mAh battery, 32/128GB of storage, 12-megapixel rear camera, USB-C, and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.
The Telegraph cited sources "familiar with the discussions" between Google and mobile carriers who claim that Google is now planning to release a new smartphone that the company will build itself. This could hint on a new Nexus smartphone line coming to store possibly sometime in October.
Google is planning to get back into the smartphone game by building handsets itself instead of handing the job off to third-party manufacturers, according to reports. However, Android Nougat is expected to launch during the summer, so the smartphones may release simultaneously. Keep in mind that panel's size is.2-inches smaller than the one found on the current Nexus 6P, a phablet that Huawei and Google launched a year ago as a larger Nexus option for those of us who didn't want the smaller Nexus 5X by LG. Several pundits believe this rumor is farfetched.
