The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is arguably reigning the Android market. The newest release from the Korean tech giant may just be the most coveted phone as of late. But if Google has anything to do with it, the Note 7's reign will come to an end in the coming months.

Google's Nexus line has been a relatively big contender in the market ever since its first release in 2012. Despite the project's young years, the units produced from the same have been battling it out well with the rest of the competition. This year, there are two expected devices that will reportedly give the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 a run for its money.

HTC will be manufacturing this year's devices, which are called the HTC Sailfish and HTC Marlin. According to Mobile Syrup, the Sailfish will be the smaller option, with its 5-inch screen. Meanwhile, the Marlin will have a 5.5-inch screen.

However, both 2016 Nexus units will share a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage.

As BGR points out, these specs match those of the Galaxy Note 7 exactly. However, both of the 2016 Nexus devices have a 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera. Meanwhile, the Note 7 has a 12-megapixel and 5-megapixel rear and front camera respectively.

Moreover, the HTC Sailfish and HTC Marlin will both run on the upcoming Android Nougat operating system, while the Note 7 is running on the current Android Marshmallow.

The Android Nougat is expected to be released within the month of August. Respectively, the HTC Sailfish and HTC Marlin are expected to hit the market on October 4th.

Of course, none of these have been confirmed by either Google or HTC. However, multiple sources have confirmed the same.
