Google I/O is right around the corner, but that isn’t stopping rumors from spreading around like crazy. One such rumor, and definitely one of the more plausible ones we’ve seen, is that Google will be launching two Nexus smartphones this year, one of which will be a 5.2-inch device produced by LG, while the other will be a 5.7-inch phablet produced by Huawei. The same rumor claims that there won’t be a Nexus tablet released this year either, and considering how poor the tablet market has been recently, this seems pretty reasonable. Obviously none of this is confirmed, but we’ll only have to wait a day or two to find out for sure.

As Google I/O draws near, just two days away now, the rumor and expectation mills are churning at full force. The latest expectation is that Google will bring two new Nexus phones to market this year, but no new tablet is on the immediate horizon. These rumors sound fairly plausible, we have already heard that Huawei is building a Nexus phone, a 5.7-inch monster with code name Bullhead. I’ll leave you with the previous coverage for more details, but we expect to see the device later in the fall with the Snapdragon 810 SoC and a nice big 3,500mAh battery. The new phone rumor is for another LG built Nexus device. Clocking in with a 5.2-inch display, the LG Angler looks like it may be fairly similar to the LG G4 with the Snapdragon 808 SoC. Speculation is early on this one though, specs are bound to change, and many components have not been chosen yet. With the general idea being that this LG phone is the proper successor to the Nexus 5, we do not expect top rung specs, just an overall solid experience. Finally, do you like your Nexus 7 or Nexus 9? I hope so, since you may be stuck with it for another year before another Nexus tablet is introduced. We can always hope for a surprise, but at this point, there are no Nexus tablets in the rumor mill. Although the Nexus 7 has been removed from the Google Store, the Nexus 9 is still up for sale, offering you a solid Android tablet experience and the latest version of the Android OS (finally.)
