Google is reportedly to hold an event on September 29 in San Francisco to unveil two version of its flagship smartphones, according to people familiar with the company’s plans.
One smartphone will be a smaller version of a Nexus phone made by LG, while the second will be a larger version built by Huawei.
The Nexus smartphones are essentially Google’s “flagship” devices that show off the latest version of its Android software, which powers the majority of the world’s smartphones.
In this case, the Nexus devices will be the first run Android 6.0, dubbed Marshmallow. Over the years, hardcore fans have gravitated toward the phones as the “purest” Android experience, free of tweaks by carriers or handset makers. As a result, each manufacturer associated with a Nexus phone gets to enjoy a bit of extra buzz.
A Google spokeswoman declined to comment.
