Google Nexus 2016 smartphones hit the FCC

Google Nexus 2016 smartphones hit the FCC

The design is also in line with the renders we have come across before, and the report says that both the Sailfish and Marlin share the "same basic industrial design and materials". Google Nexus phone codenamed Sailfish will have 5 inch display and 1,920 x 1,080 pixels resolution.

shows a glossy black phone with rounded edges, "glass and fingerprint scanner on the back". A new report has surfaced claiming that Google is getting ready to launch smartphones under its own brand name instead of the Nexus brand across selected markets, which include India.

Meanwhile, in terms of specifications, word on the street suggests that the Nexus 7 2016 might run on Qualcomm's current-generation system on chip (SoC), the Snapdragon 820. The company apparently gave a glance to fans of an unreleased Nexus phone. Other than the new features in this OS, like mutli-tasking, improved doze and detailed notifications, there are some exclusive features for Sailfish and Marlin like Google's latest VR platform, DayDream. After seeing supposed pictures of one of the phones hours ago, we now know model numbers, get confirmation that HTC is indeed making two Nexus phones, and other details, like universal LTE support across United States carriers, including Verizon.

Google and HTC's rumored Nexus Marlin and Sailfish are one step closer to an official launch.

Though the new models could have been considered to be HTC's new Desire 10 Pro and Desire 10 Lifestyle, the models that have passed through FCC are indeed the new Nexus handsets.

A separate, independent leak seems to confirm that glass feature but also offers a (literally) different angle of the smartphone. The camera setting is thought to be 12MP on rear and 8MP on front. While it seems very absurd from a marketing point of view that Google would release a device so similar to the Nexus smartphones, come September, things will become clear.
