A recent filing on the US FCC site from Huawei may just give us some insight on the upcoming models from the China-based company. H1622 and H710VL are the models that was registered with FCC – and seeing that the Huawei 6P was registered with the model H1511, this could be the next model in line.

A new rumour popped up on the internet – saying that Google may be designing their own Android Wear device, to be set under the Nexus branding. Codenamed Angelfish and Swordfish – the two devices are probably going to be the new benchmark for Android Wear devices. 

We have seen the supposed specs of the upcoming Google Nexus phone, codenamed Sailfish here. Now, we have early renders of what the smartphone may look like in its final form, and it looks unlike anything we have seen before.  

Having a secure mobile experience is crucial these days, as many unscrupulous people will want to get their grubby little fingers into your account. Hence why a secure mobile phone is important. A security analyst said that the best phones to have now are the Nexus devices, and phones from Samsung.

We have seen the specs for the “Sailfish” Nexus model, and now we have the specs of the second model, “Marlin” spotted online, if the report is legitimate. Both Google devices will be built by HTC this time around, and the specs of the phone looks to be quite good for a flagship device.

After the Nexus 6P, the Nexus 5X is the Google branded smartphone that many anticipated to arrive alongside its bigger brother, but alas only the Huawei-built device made to our local market. However, the tide may be turning, as there is chatter online that it will be coming this July, for only RM 1199.

The Nexus program is Google’s take on setting benchmarks for Android-powered smartphones. Even so, it seems Google is not satisfied with the output of the program, and may be producing their own Google-designed phones by the end of the year.

While we are now enjoying the current crop of Nexus devices – the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X, the next device from HTC with the name Nexus is now in active development. We have seen reports online that states that the phone will be in the realm of mid-high end of the market.

The Nexus 6P has seen good sales in Malaysia, but Google announced two models of their Nexus smartphones when it was first launched. We may now soon see the smaller model in the Malaysian market, as the Nexus 5X has been sighted on SIRIM.

If you are using a Google Nexus device now – take note of this news. Google just listed the end-of-support dates for their current Google Nexus devices, i.e. end dates when they will roll out updates, security updates and releases of new OS versions.
