Nexus Phone 2016 HTC Sailfish vs Nexus 5X specs

Nexus 5X was released in 2015 with slightly bigger screen display of 5.2 inch. If the rumor mill on Nexus Phone 2016 HTC specs are true, it would have a lower camera quality since Nexus 5X has 12.3 MP lens on its rear camera. Nexus Phone 2016 camera will have a minor upgrade for its selfie-camera from 5 MP to 8 MP.

HTC Sailfish will have a slight battery boost because Nexus 5X is only enhanced with 2700 mAh non removable battery, GSM Arena reported.

The next Nexus Phone will also have twice bigger RAM. It is expected that HTC Sailfish will have a memory card slot to expand its storage since Nexus 5X does not give users a chance to do so.
