These buttons will reportedly be solid white, and the Home button could have red, blue, green, and yellow touches around it that may animate when long-pressed to launch Google Now on Tap.

According to BGR, the Nexus Marlin will come with a metallic body akin to the HTC 10. That means the upcoming two variants of the Google smartphone will not have a compact body structure.

Redesigned Now on Tap shortcuts are also reportedly on their way to better match the look of the Google Assistant. In this new version of the app, the iconic Google Search bar has been replaced by a unusual sliding tab, something that should make new users more aware that sliding to the left is where they can find Google Now. However, as reported by the Nexus Blog, Sailfish could still be priced at more than $350 even with polycarbonate materials used. The device manufactured by Huawei will be an upgraded version of current Nexus 6P. Both smartphones should offer 4GB worth of RAM but the Nexus Marlin will offer 128GB of internal memory while the Nexus Sailfish will offer 32GB of internal memory.

Google Nexus 6P 32 GB Aluminum, Matte Gold and Graphite variants are available for $399. The Nexus Marlin is expected to sport a 5.5-inch display screen while the Nexus Sailfish is expected to sport a 5-inch display screen. The device is said to include a 3,450 milliampere-hour (mAh) battery. A smaller battery capacity is expected, at 2,770 mAh.

The guys over at Android Police provided the fun today, saying that these are at least some of the wallpapers expected to be on board the new HTC-made Nexus phones when Google unveils them later this year, but that there may be more.

It’s also speculated that the phone will be fused with a USB Type-C slot, a 12-megapixel and 8-megapixel back and front shooter, and a graphics processing unit (GPU) from Qualcomm as well.
