Another 2016 HTC Nexus Photo Leaked

Yesterday photos of the HTC Nexus “Sailfish” leaked and gave us our first look at the handset in real life. Now thanks to a tweet by the @usbfl account, another photo has been revealed showing someone using the alleged handset in real life. This photo seems to be in line with the other photos we saw earlier.

As @usbfl astutely points out, the design of the phone is certainly a bit of a cross between the Nexus 4 by LG and the iPhone. There is a glass back which is consistent with the earlier rumors and renderings, and from what we can tell from the image, there also appears to be a fingerprint sensor on the back.

Now there is a bit of inconsistency in some of the rumors. Earlier there were rumors that the Nexus Sailfish and Marlin would be made from different materials, but as per the latest rumors, it has suggested that both phones will be made from the same materials and will also sport the same design.

Ultimately we could be looking at an iPhone-like situation where HTC/Google will offer up more or less identical handsets in different sizes, appealing to users who might prefer a smaller (and possibly cheaper) phone, or someone who might prefer having a larger display and might be willing to pay for it.
