The rumor mill is cranking up again after a report from Blass, who routinely spills the goods about upcoming phones on Twitter. He’s got a solid track record.
— Blass (@evleaks) April 27, 2016 Android lice took this tale a bit further, speculating that the devices are dubbed “Marlin” “Sailfish.” usually picks fishy names as codewords for its devices—the 5X 6are Bullhead Angler, the too-big-to-fail Nexus 6 was aptly named Shamu. Another interesting development is that the Nexus 9 disappeared from the Store on dnesday. en you head to the tablet section of the store, you’re automatically directed to the xel C page. That would seem to imply that a new tablet is around the corner. However, the sources for the current HTC rumor are pretty insistent that these are two phones. So it could be a coincidence, or there may be some tablet work going on as well in Nexus nd. ’ve argued before that needs something akin to a new Nexus 7, as the Android tablet space still needs a jolt with an affordable, high-performance, lightweight option. Even though HTC has had its troubles, the company did a solid job with the HTC 10. It also would be in both companies’ interests to get together for some Nexus devices: HTC is trying to turn things around, would like to see another of its partners come back to life. y this matters: It’s always fun to play the guessing game about what will do next with the Nexus program. The hardware is always about more than just selling phones, as uses Nexus as a way to showcase the latest build of Android, particularly since so many hardware makers carriers clog the update flow. I/O may be a little early to see some new hardware, but it doesn’t mean we won’t be peering at everyone’s devices at the conference just in case.
