Google Nexus 2016 Render Reveals Marlin Phone's Design; Specs & Features Review

The Google Nexus phones have earned quite a following since Google first debuted them in 2010. Over the years, the devices have just gotten better and more exciting, particularly because Google partners up with different smartphone manufacturers to built the units. This year, Google is partnering up with HTC in order to release the HTC Marlin.

According to TechDroider, one particular render for the HTC Marlin was confirmed to be very close to the actual device. What this means is that the 2016 Nexus device will likely have a 5.5 inch screen, with thin bezels and a back fingerprint sensor. All these things make the device look a lot like last year's Nexus 6P. In addition, the unit will have an aluminum body.

BGR adds that it is, at this point, unclear whether or not the logo will change. It is possible that the "Nexus" branding will be dropped in preference of a simple "G." Of course, a "Nexus x HTC" branding is also a possibility. In fact, this aspect of the design is so up in the air that two renders were made to accommodate this.

Meanwhile, the HTC Marlin is expected to come with 4GB of RAM, which should be more than enough for the unit to run smoothly. Further, a quad-core processor will power the device and will be capable of holding 128GB of memory.The 2016 Nexus device will also carry a 3450 mAh battery under the hood.

It is unexpected for Google to improve on the camera from the Nexus 6P, which means that the HTC Marlin will also have a 12 megapixel rear camera and an 8 megapixel front camera.

Another exciting aspect of the upcoming Nexus device is that it will run on the new Android Nougat 7.0, which will be arriving in the coming months. Moreover, the official announcement for the HTC Marlin should follow the launch shortly after.
