That’s according to a new rumor from China, which indicates HTC may have won a contract to manufacture two Nexus devices for Google. The post alleges the devices may feature smaller 5-inch and 5.5-inch displays, compared to the 5.2-inch and 5.7-inch displays on the Nexus 5X and 6P. Related:- Set the date! Google I/O runs from May 18-20 in Mountain View, California It wouldn’t be HTC’s first time in the Nexus program. The company last worked with Google on the Nexus 9 tablet in 2014, and even though it was well received by reviewers, it failed to reach the same sales figures as previous Nexus tablets. Before this, HTC worked on the original Google Nexus One, the first mobile in the Nexus program launched six years ago. It’s claimed that Huawei was in the running for the 2016 Nexus contract as well, but Google decided to work with HTC instead. This is surprising, considering Huawei’s meteoric rise in the sales charts over the past 12 months, compared to HTC’s downfall over the same time period.

This is one of the few times he has posted a rumor on a company outside of China, after apparently receiving the information from contacts-in Hong Kong. Like all rumors, we should take this news with a large pinch of salt. There’s a long time before the new Nexus phones will be officially revealed, and we could-see drastic changes to HTC-over the coming months, so plenty could change.
