This time HTC will be taking the charge and stepping- in for manufacturing the devices.
Google is now heating the pot, seeing that the new Google Nexus Android caller feature will empower users to twain block and report numbers coming from spam callers. The Nexus 5X is a mid-range handset with not so powerful hardware as compared to the flagship Nexus 6P, which leaves many with no choice but to opt for the larger 5.7-inch handset in order to enjoy top-notch performance and features as well.
Rumors also have it that the upcoming HTC Marlin smartphone will be powered by a 3450mAh battery, supported with quick charge technology for fast charging and battery saving mode. If this is true, then future Nexus Marlin users who intend to fix any internal hardware issues with their device would surely run into a great deal of frustration. It’s a newer version of Android N than the latest developer preview, the beta tag has been removed, and it’s also running the latest August security patch.
It seems that Google is making this move in order to serve two different markets. The battery is rumored to be a 3,450 mAh one. The original tablet was successful, selling approximately 7M units in its first year – so there’s no question why Google wants in on this for 2016.
Offering a choice between metal and plastic could push more customers to grab the higher-end Nexus even if they don’t care as much about specs.
Marlin is expected to include a quad-core Qualcomm chip, a 5.5 inch quad HD display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440, 4GB of RAM, 32 and 128 GB internal memory variants, 12-MP camera on the back and 8-MP camera on the front. Some initial reports suggested at Huawei being the maker this year too. So, a Nexus 6P user get Android N 7.0 Nougat mistakenly OTA. So, the devices will be launching after the launch of the Nougat by Google. It is expected that this information will be more clear in the few weeks that will come.
