Some rumoured specs have just been leaked.

Sounds good. 5 inch device!

opethdisciple · 25 Jun 2016 at 15:47

We got to be close to something official now. When do Google usually start giving us info on the next Nexus handsets?

opethdisciple · 30 Jun 2016 at 21:37

Android Nougat!!

opethdisciple · 1 Aug 2016 at 23:28

Rumoured Oct 4th.

Oh and Nougat is also rumoured to be out this month!

Possible new launcher too.

opethdisciple · 2 Aug 2016 at 14:44

Here is the new launcher in action.

My Nexus 5 is slowly dying on me, so this is good news!

Over the last two months my Nexus 5 is starting to die too.

I've been suffering with constant bugs. Launching camera app when I touch power button, audio bug (now fixed), random reboots and today it got it's self in to a reboot cycle. :eek:

(completely unmodded phone running stock rom)

Silly phone!

The camera launching when pressing power isn't a bug it is an option under settings > display.

Good man! I turned that off. Thanks :cool:

The 2016 HTC Nexus looks like a cross between the Nexus 4 & iPhone with glass and fingerprint scanner on the back.

Looks good. If it's in the region of £300 for the smaller handset then I will be snapping it up on day one. It's what I'm waiting for.

My current N5, seems to have resolved it self of it's random powering off issues. Uber strange.

The thing is the HTC 10 is a well received phone so if it is basing it's design on that it cant be that bad.

opethdisciple · 18 Aug 2016 at 12:52

Nexus may launch in September.

Nougat may launch this month.

opethdisciple · 22 Aug 2016 at 19:09

Supposedly Android Nougat is now out if Beta.

opethdisciple · 3 Sep 2016 at 16:27

Rumoured for announcement Oct 4th.

opethdisciple · 19 Sep 2016 at 19:15

Most exciting thing for me is the smaller of the two phones is actually a smaller device than the Nexus 5x. This makes me happy.

As an example I find the size of the new iPhone 7 perfect. (Would never own an iphone!)

opethdisciple · 19 Sep 2016 at 23:59

I was hoping for under £400 ish for the smaller handset.

Yous guys ready?

White looks decidedly average :/

Edit*
A user on reddit says his friend works at verizon and has been testing them. There is a fingerprint sensor on the front AND back, and the devices are waterproofed.

If that is genuinely true, and it comes in 256GB flavour, then that's what I've been screaming for since getting the nexus 6P, and you can consider me sold.

Stock Android, IPX rated, 256GB storage, camera as good as, or better than, the 6P/S7 = Happy.

They look like iPhones.

Usually a phone this expensive I wouldn't buy. But I've never owned a top tier handset before and set my heart on this phone so I might just splurge the cash.

opethdisciple · 4 Oct 2016 at 18:32

These phones are always more expensive from Google. Wait for the Carphone Warehouse to get the promotions in the next few months.

These won't sell at this price.

opethdisciple · 4 Oct 2016 at 19:17

I might just go and grab a Nexus 5x.

It should be eligible for Android 8 right?

Does the two year cut off include the last year or not?

The Nexus 5 came with Android 4.4 and is now on 6.0.1 so presumably the 5x came with 6 and will be upgradable to 8 as the last OS version?

opethdisciple · 4 Oct 2016 at 19:26

Did they announce anything related to the older phones getting the pixel launcher?
