Serial tipster Evan Blass leaked the information via twitter wherein he wrote: "HTC is building a pair of Android N devices for Google internally dubbed M1 and S1 #nexus." Google has a history of giving their products with codenames that are related to the aquatic life so it may be relevant. The previous codenames were Bullhead, Angler, Hammerhead and Shamu.

As of the current, there aren't much details from Blass yet but considering HTC's reputation in terms of devices, the next Nexus devices are expected to level with the impressive Android handsets that HTC has previously made. One example is the HTC 10 which is deemed as the most powerful smartphone.

Expected to be released this May, GSM Arena noted that the HTC 10 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, Android Marshmallow, 4 GB of RAM, 12-megapixels primary camera and more. It's also still to be known if both the devices that will be built by HTC will be smartphones or if one will be a tablet.
