not promising anything but i do have invites to the oneplus 2 but first it's got to be asked do you think this is the new LG Nexus the renders here are based on factory schematic information provided to a third party accessory maker so the dimensions are quite likely to be accurate although the final look may vary a bit especially when it comes to build materials on the back we see the fingerprint scanner that has been rumoured numerous times in the past LG's signature rear vine controls seem to have given way in order to include a scanner which sits just underneath the protruding camera module the camera comes with an LED flash and also what appears to be a laser autofocus module we can also spot the reversible USB type-c socket at the bottom of the smartphone and this past week Motorola has been a real tease Motorola posted then quickly deleted a video on a Twitter account of what appears to be the new Moto 360 giving us a pretty clear look at the devices new form factor the video also appeared on the company's Instagram account but that video was also deleted soon after it was posted the screenshot here shows off the supposed next-gen device which features a power button that sits at the two o'clock position as opposed to the three o'clock placement of the first gen watch the device also looks to have newer loves that perhaps will make it easier to swap out watch straps also featured in the new render is the flat tire from the last year's model which is a design element many consumers weren't happy with the first time around apparently Samsung believes that flip phones may be making a comeback last month Tina which is the Chinese version of the FCC revealed information on a new samsung flip phone that was powered by Android and offered fairly high specs and now it's official dubbed the samsung s mg 90 198 the new flip phone is powered by a Snapdragon 808 a curious move considering Samsung has been less reliant on Qualcomm and more dependent on its own in host X nose chips as of late other specs include two gigabytes of ram 16 megapixel rear cam a 6 megapixel front cam 16 gigabytes of storage with microSD support dual three point nine inch Super AMOLED displays with a resolution of 1280 by 768 eight there are also a 2020 milliamp hour battery which is said to last 189 hours of standby time dubbed the samsung s mg 90 198 the new flip phone is powered by a Snapdragon 808 other specs include two gigabytes of ram 16 megapixel rear cam a 6 megapixel front cam 16 gigabytes of storage with microSD support dual three point nine inch Super AMOLED displays with a resolution of 1280 by 768 there's also a 2020 milliamp hour battery which is said to last a hundred and eighty nine hours of standby time now Google has also been getting into the teasing game and teasing us for what M will be in Android M they showed us this a new teaser video from google employees NAT and low indicates that we're getting closer to finding out what the M stands for the video goes through the Android release names we've seen up until now and ends with a little teaser portion talking about various M name desserts as expected both marshmallow milkshake and Moon Pie are highlighted as just a few possibilities personally I prefer milkshake but Google's playful they're probably going to go with marshmallow we'll see and no I haven't forgot about the oneplus two invites it's all linked up in the show links below click on that article and follow the instructions best of luck to you you don't want to forget about my brothers and sister and Android who are working super hard to be your source for all things Android you
