Last week we got to know the leaked specifications of the HTC Sailfish, the smallest variant of the two upcoming Nexus devices. Now, the specifications of the Nexus Marlin have emerged in another major leak after Google finally shared the name of Android N: Nougat yesterday.
Nexus Marlin, which is the largest variant of the Nexus devices, will be the successor to the Nexus 6P. This time there will be two options in the storage to be able to choose between 32 GB or 128 GB. And just like last year's two Nexus they will have the same front and rear cameras.
Here is the list of rumored specs:
- 5,5 ″ QHD (2560 x 1440) AMOLED display
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 820/821/823 quad-core chip
- 4 GB of RAM
- 32 and 128 GB of internal memory
- Android 7.0 Nougat
- Rear-mounted fingerprint scanner
- 12 MP rear camera
- 8 MP front camera
- Speakers at the bottom of the terminal
- Bluetooth 4.2
- USB-C port
- Battery 3.450 mAh
One of the most interesting details that come from the source that has shared this series of specifications of the larger variant, is that the design language will be the same for both of them, with which they want to follow the same strategy that Apple has with its iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
But the strangest thing about these two devices is that HTC be in charge of launching this year the two terminals. Possibly it is an attempt to make this company rebound that has been so much for the history of Android and without it, we could not possibly know this operating system the way it is right now. The fact that it has been almost stumbling for a few years does not mean that it cannot have interesting smartphones again that, although they do not reach the capacity offered by Samsung or Huawei right now, is an alternative to always look at when one wants to access the purchase of an Android.
