In the past, we’ve seen Google releases the next Android update for previous gen Nexus devices almost a month after it launches new Nexus devices, hence Telus’s post implies that Google this time around will be speeding up its rollout cycle.
Google is certainly expected to announce two of its Nexus smartphones at its upcoming event in San Francisco – named Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. Both these devices were recently leaked in slew of press renders. These images show the LG branding at the back of the Nexus 5X, just like the original Nexus 5. A fingerprint scanner can also be seen at the back panel, featuring a circular design.
Other rumored specs include a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 chipset, while the device is expected to get 32GB and 64GB variants.
