The Google Nexus 6P might be introducing the gold version to the American market, the iPhone 7 will probably be waterproof, and Lenovo is making a comeback. The last bit of the year is an exciting time for the electronics industry, and 2015 is no different.
Google Nexus 6P Was Only Available in Gold in Japan
There is strong evidence suggesting that Google’s Nexus 6P might introduce the phone to the American market via Best Buy to finally introduce all four variants of the phone to the market. Only recently it was made available to the Japanese market through Softbank. This suggests that the phone may have been contractually bound to a certain region or market.
Google, Huawei and Best Buy May Join Hands Again
Google may be bringing the gold Nexus 6P after Huawei’s announcements made at CES 2016, planning to introduce a few more products on January 5th, 2016. The gold Google Nexus 6P might be among them, with a release date in America and a possible launch of the Huawei Honor 5X. Currently, the Nexus 5X is available through Best Buy, and it’s likely that Google will take advantage of Best Buy’s openness to exclusive variants and colors of products to introduce the gold Nexus 6P.
Will the Upcoming iPhone 7 Be Waterproof?
Also, in the speculative side of the electronics industry is a strong belief that the upcoming line of iPhones will be waterproof. Many websites have suggested that the iPhone 7 will be made of a new kind of rubbery material, called self-healing elastomer, that can bend and return to its original shape. This has been confirmed to be one of Apple’s patents.
This would increase the device’s durability considerably, but it might take away from Apple’s customary classy design. Apple has also bought a patent for a waterproof logic board, which has been incorporated onto the iPhone 6 line, which can handle water but are not water-resistant.
Meanwhile, Lenovo Joins the Race With an Android OS
Weibo Leaks Possible Lenovo Update Schedule
April of 2016 will likely see the update for the Lenovo K3 Note, as well as the international version of the Lenovo A7000. The update will hit the international Vibe X3 and Vibe P1 in May, and the Lenovo Vibe S1 will be upgraded to Marshmallow in June. July will see the update of the international Vibe X3 and the A7000+. These are only rumors, however, spread by several posts on Chinese Weibo, so this is mere speculation.
All Rumors Should Be Taken With a Grain of Salt
Most of this speculation is likely ungrounded. However, a lot of it are almost expected moves. Google will greatly benefit from a gold Nexus 6P in the American market since the color has become popular after the iPhone 5 series made it available. The iPhone 7 would have some kind of waterproof feature in order to compete with other devices though it won’t likely have a waterproof casing. Leaksters are assuming that it might be something that’s attached to the phone, and it could possibly be sold separately. Finally, Lenovo can be updating their lineup merely for the sake of getting with the program, since phones are becoming more and more competitive when it comes to their OS.
Hopefully, all of these rumors come to fruition. It would kickstart 2016 in a great way, and make for a full roster of good phones available in markets across the globe.
