According to Android Police, Google is planning to introduce a brand-new launcher for its 2016 Nexus phones.

This also means that Nexus owners will be the first ones to sample the latest flavour of Android (except for the Nexus 5, of course).
Usually Google will release the latest version to its own Nexus devices before the software is released by other mobile phone makers.
Although these are easily replaceable (even resizable) on 3rd party launchers, the Search bar for instance was a persistent widget that couldn’t be removed on the Google Launcher. Based on information obtained via South Korean website sedaily, the alleged specs and features of the LG V20 have come to light.
Early update of Android 7.0 Nougat has made it’s way to the good old Nexus devices.
LG Electronics (LG) confirms that its next flagship smartphone, LG V20, will be the first device with the Android 7.0 Nougat operating system preloaded, when it begins shipping in the third quarter.
As soon as you see the screenshots, youll notice there is no longer a Google Search bar. LG has worked closely with Google since it launched its first Android phone in 2009.
Evan Blass, the popular tipster has revealed through his Twitter account that Google will be rolling out Android 7.0 Nougat on August 5 along with the security update for this month for Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X.

What has also changed is the way you’ll interact with Google Now. It is expected to arrive along with the new launcher in the upcoming Nexus handsets. At present, LG has said that the device will be available in Korea, the US, Canada (among other countries), but neither Australia nor New Zealand are on now on that list. It was high time for Google to incorporate the split-screen function in stock Android as most of the skinned versions already have this.
