Google Nexus 2016 release is coming soon and reports pointed that the smartphone will be made by Taiwanese manufacturer HTC, but is Google making a mistake with this decision?
Google has not released official the numbers that will determine the success of the current Nexus flagship - Nexus 6P. However, the said handset apparently saved Google from the uninspiring sales of the previous Nexus 6.
Whispers claimed that Google will tap on Taiwanese manufacturer HTC to be in-charged of Google Nexus 2016 release. New rumors are saying that HTC will make two Nexus smartphones this year. However, Google is probably making a mistake this year hiring HTC to take the helm.
According to Daily Sun, HTC garnered attention thanks to HTC One M8, but the company failed to sustain consumer's interest and the buzz eventually waned. This is proved by the not so stellar sales of HTC One M9.
Right now, HTC is working on the new HTC 10 and the company has been secretive regarding its specs and features. BGR reported that HTC 10 will include support to the new HTC Vive VR headset, which could help the company recover from the slump it is experiencing.
There are wild rumors that Google is seeking independence from its partners and will manufacture its own devices like Apple. This will eliminate costs from hiring another company.
Google Nexus 2016 release is rumored to happen in May, the earliest, and October, the latest. Other rumors purported that Google will use its annual I/O Developers' Conference as its launching platform for the device.
Meanwhile, Google Nexus 2016 will pack its same old 7-inch screen display. It will be powered by Huawei's homegrown processor Kirin 950 chipset or NVIDIA Tegra X1 processor paired with 2GB of RAM.
The tablet will surely run with the upcoming Android N operating system. The dessert name of the OS is still unknown, but Nougat and Nutella are some of the candidates.
Meanwhile, there is still no official announcement from Google about the official release date and features of the rumored Google Nexus 2016.
