It is said that Google will launch two Nexus mobile phones, which are rumored to be manufactured by HTC, with the codes of Sailfish and Marlin respectively. Recently, a foreign media exposed the rendering of Marlin (marlin), which uses three virtual keys that are the hallmark of the son, with NEXUS logo and HTC logo printed on the back. The location of the fingerprint identification module on the back of the fuselage is basically the same as that of the Nexus 5X.

Marlin (marlin) adopts 5.5 inch 2K resolution AMOLED screen. In terms of configuration, it will be equipped with Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB running memory and 32GB built-in storage, 12 million pixels for the rear camera, 8 million pixels for the front camera, and 3450mAh battery capacity. The USB Type-C interface, which has been used since Nexus 5X/6P, is native to the Android 7.0 operating system.
