Google may launch two new Nexus phones this year, but no Nexus tablet? ~ lotfi

We've got good news and bad news from the Nexus camp. The good news is that not one but two new phones might be on the way, catering to fans of both big and small screens.

According to a 'reliable' source speaking to Android Police we'll see both LG and Huawei Nexus handsets this year. One is currently known as the LG Angler and will reportedly have a 5.2-inch screen and a battery in the region of 2700 mAh. At the moment it's pegged to run a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor, just like the LG G4, but this is apparently not yet finalised.

Then there's the Huawei Bullhead, which is said to have a 5.7-inch screen, a 3500 mAh battery and a Snapdragon 810 processor. This isn't the first we've heard of these phones and a previous rumour suggested the Bullhead would have a QHD screen, which would make sense seeing as the Nexus 6 is QHD.

Names needed

While both of these phones are just rumours for now they're convincing ones, as the Nexus 6 is due a refresh and the Nexus 5 is badly in need of one.

Both phones will apparently be launching around October, so we've still got a while to wait for them if they do exist, but that should give Google time to come up with names for them, as it's out of numbers.

Sadly one thing Android Police is even more convinced of than the existence of these two phones is that there's no new Nexus tablet in the works, so it looks like fans of stock Android will have to make do with the Nexus 9 for quite a while longer.
