Google Nexus 7 2016: Killer Features, Release, & Why You Need to Wait

Other phones also give you this freedom, but Nexus devices just make it a breeze. For starters, the search engine giant hasn’t said a word regarding the partner OEM that will replace last year’s Huawei and LG as far as the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X are concerned, respectively.

The likelihood of Google I/O 2016 hardware announcements is very slim, although there could be a small possibility that Google could surprise us.

It was revealed last month that Google is working on native pressure sensing technology for Android, enabling Android-powered devices to effectively incorporate pressure-sensitive displays. This was confirmed by Evan Blass who tweeted, “HTC is building a pair of Android N devices for Google internally dubbed M1 and S1 #nexus”. At least one of the 2016 Nexus models is expected to have full support for this technology.

One indication of this is that Google has quietly scrapped the Nexus 9 tablet from its lineup.

There appears to be one more “feature” that has been thrown in for good measure.

With this year’s flagship phones featuring 4GB of RAM, we expect to see the same with the Snapdragon 820 variant.

As a Google spokesperson told me, many of these new features were inspired by what the company learned in countries like India and Indonesia, where many users are only now getting their first smartphones.

The Mi Max camera system boasts of a 16MP sensor on the rear and 5MP on front with phase detection autofocus shooting feature.

Google’s range of Nexus devices has always offered great photography.

And the best Nexus quality already embedded with the Xiaomi Mi Max is the pricing model. These prices are for the base models.

Android fans have plenty of choices when it comes to handsets this year, but among the most talked are the Google Nexus 2016 and the Moto X 2016.
