2016 Nexus render shows two-tone design, solo “Google” branding

It is officially Nexus rumor season. After last week's "Google Phone" rumor, this week we've got renders of what the 2016 Nexus phones will look like. Android Police—which has a great track record when it comes to Nexus leaks—has created a render of the device "based on evidence from [its] source."

Previous rumors said that HTC would be building two Nexus devices for Google, a 5-inch device codenamed "Sailfish" and a 5.5-inch device called "Marlin." The report says this render is meant to represent both devices—a bigger and smaller phone of the same design.

Usually Nexus devices are co-branded by Google and the OEM, but Android Police's render doesn't have an HTC logo. The site says "the 'G' logo on the back of the device may or may not be part of the final design," and "it remains unclear to us if the final design will include an HTC logo, but we are inclined to believe the answer is no." That "Google Phone" rumor from the Telegraph last week said Google was making a phone separate from the Nexus line that would be self-branded, but maybe there isn't a third phone and the Nexus line is just getting a rebrand.
