New Nexus leak reveals all-metal Google phoneAugust 16, 2016 - 12:21 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Google's latest Nexus phone is shaping up to be an all-metal device that comes in both 5-inch and 5.5-inch screen sizes, The Verge says citing a report from Android Police. The smaller phone, codenamed "Sailfish" looks very much like the existing Nexus 5X with a fingerprint scanner on the back and same camera and front plate design. Android Police says the 5.5-inch model, codenamed "Marlin," won't look much different. In an interesting twist, the report adds Google may replace the "Nexus" logo with a "G" logo. Both are expected to be manufactured by HTC, according to FCC filings approved Monday, August 15. If the news checks out, this upcoming Nexus line would mark another big shake up at Google's in-house Android phone division. Last year, the company tried a slightly larger budget model with the all-plastic LG 5X, which came with a 5.2-inch display. Google also sold the more expensive all-metal Huawei 6P, which had a whopping 5.7-inch display. It appears this go around, Google is downsizing both models, but retaining more premium materials for better build quality, perhaps as a way to compete more directly against Apple and Samsung.
