HTC Marlin is going to be one the most hyped up devices of 2016, and for good reason. HTC is getting a crack at making a Nexus device again, and the specs we've heard for the device are nothing to sneeze at.
We're still waiting for some kind of official news about the phone, but in the meantime, decent rumors and leaks keep things exciting. In this case, it's a picture of the settings menu on the phone.
If you choose to believe that photo is real, it confirms that we'll definitely have a Marlin device, which is backed up by Android N and a very recent Android security patch.
Unfortunately just about every other aspect of the phone is either covered up or out of frame, so it's impossible to see what the design of the phone will look like. However, it does discredit the rumor earlier this year that Google would be redesigning the navigation bar for their Nexus phones. That could still happen if they make their own Google phone, but it's apparently going to be absent from this round of Nexus devices.
We're still expecting Marlin to launch with a QHD screen, a quad-core Qualcomm CPU, and 4 GB of RAM. There should be a 12 megapixel camera, a USB type C port, and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, but the key differences between Marlin and the bigger Sailfish are still a bit hazy.
