One of Google's upcoming Nexus devices, codenamed Marlin, has been spotted on Geekbench. The device is tipped to be a successor to the Nexus 6P, and as per the listing, will be powered by a quad-core 1.59GHz Qualcomm processor (possibly the Snapdragon 820) with 4GB of RAM. The phone is also tipped to run on Android Nougat v7.0 out of the box. Further, the device managed to score 2084 in the single core test, and 4969 in the multi core test.
While the listing doesn't mention which company would be manufacturing the device, rumours suggest that it might be HTC. A few days ago, Android Police had reported that the HTC Marlin phone may feature a 5.5-inch QHD display, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 4GB of RAM. Further, the device is tipped to sport 12MP and 8MP cameras, and may be available in 32GB and 128GB storage variants. The Marlin is also expected to be equipped with a 3450mAh battery, and a fingerprint sensor is located at the back.
HTC is also said to be making the successor to the Nexus 5X, apparently codenamed Sailfish. The phone is rumoured to feature a 5-inch Full HD display, and may be powered by a 2GHz quad-core SoC with 4GB of RAM. Further, the phone is expected to come with 12MP and 8MP camera along with 32GB of storage.
