Nexus Sailfish (specs)
If current rumors are to be believed,
the next batch of Nexus devices will come courtesy of HTC and bear the
codenames Marlin and Sailfish. The former has already been spotted in a
Geekbench listing, which did reveal some of its alleged specs. Now its time for
Sailish to get the leak treatment as well.
Luckily, this time around, the info
comes from GFXBench, which is typically a lot more expansive in its hardware
readout. And straight off the bat, the page seems to confirm one of the more
outlandish aspects of the future device, namely that it will feature a 5-inch
display.
Said panel is listed at exactly 5 inches
and with a resolution of 1080p, which doesn't mesh with push towards bigger
screens, which can be felt in the Nexus family too. And if the second part of
the original rumor pans out as well, that would make the Nexus Marlin the
bigger device from the pair, at 5.5 inches.
As for the rest of the alleged specs on
the Sailfish, they include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC, 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB
of storage. The reported camera setup consists of a 12 MP main shooter and an
8 MP front-facing one. And we can only expect that once the handset arrives, it
will run Google's latest Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box.
