Final week, we now have witnessed the start of the Android 7.zero Nougat. As ordinary, the members of the Nexus tribe are the primary to get up to date with the brand new firmware, however, in contrast to in earlier years, Google didn’t announce new Nexus hardware pre-loaded with Nougat. Moreover, the upcoming Nexus smartphones gained’t even be the primary handsets on the earth to run Android 7.zero out of the field, as this title will go to LG’s V20 flagship which shall be unveiled on September sixth.
We now have been understanding for some time that that Google is readying not one, however two new Nexus smartphones, each manufactured by HTC and codenamed ‘Marlin’ and ‘Salifish’. Nevertheless, nobody is aware of precisely when the 2 new handsets will probably be unveiled, however, in line with the reviews we should always have the ability to see them in flesh someday late September or early October.
The leaks and reviews that surfaced on-line over the previous couple of months have painted an virtually full image of the 2 Marlin and Salifish, with the design and most of their specs already being recognized to the general public. We’ve seen each of them hitting AnTuTu and we’ve acquired to take a look at leaked renders which revealed an analogous design for each handsets with glass and metallic for the physique.
As we speak, a brand new report talks Nexus Sailfish and Marlin pricing. Quoting “inner sources”, the guys at Nexusblog.net have revealed that Sailfish and Marlin may have beginning costs of $449 and $599, respectively. Do understand that the costs are for the 32 GB variants of those two units, which can most certainly even be the bottom storage variant. Because the storage capability goes up, the worth will improve, too. Sadly, there’s no approach to confirm the veracity of the report, subsequently we’re advising you to take it with a pinch of salt.
In line with the AnTuTu listings I’ve talked about earlier, the 2 smartphones might be based mostly on comparable hardware platforms. Each are anticipated to function four GB of RAM and at the least 32 GB of inner storage, whereas being fueled by a 64-bit quad-core Snapdragon 820 processor mated with an Adreno 530 GPU. In therms of cameras, the HTC-made Nexuses will reportedly sport a 13 MP important shooter and an eight MP selfie cam. The primary distinction between the 2 would be the show. Whereas Marlin is claimed to return with a 5.5-inch Quad HD display, Sailfish is predicted to reach with a smaller, Full HD show. If the rumors are to be believed, the 2 handsets won’t run Android 7.zero Nougat out of the field, however Android 7.1 which is meant to grow to be obtainable across the time the Nexuses can be introduced.
