An announcement on Google Nexus smartphones for 2016 was expected in Google I/O developer conference in May but the company had no word on the devices in the event. However, recent reports have it that HTC is making the most anticipated mobile devices running Android N for the year.

It is reported that HTC is currently testing the devices running Android N and has also implemented pressure-sensitive touch display in the phones. As a matter of fact, pressure-sensitive touch display has long been rumored to be introduced in their devices by the company.

There are also claims affirmative about the feature that Google has incorporated the codes supporting the pressure-sensitive touch display in Android N. Other than Google Nexus, companies like Oppo and Xiaomi have already confirmed the release of devices with pressure-sensitive touch display in 2016.

"This year's Nexus handsets will apparently be 100% HTC. Source were picked up via Chinese social network Weibo which say that HTC will make both a 5in and 5.5in Nexus phone inside 2016. It's a little odd to see such a minor variation in display size with these two members of the Nexus range. On the one hand it also seems odd that Huawei is not making a return considering how well the Nexus 6P was received, and the fact that Google tends to offer OEMs another go if things do go well," reported Know Your Mobile.

It is also widely rumored that HTC will be making Google's Nexus devices not just for 2016 but for couple more years. The two electronic giants, Google and HTC had allegedly made three years deal with each other which will have more of HTC devices running Google software in the market subsequently for next three years. Meanwhile HTC confirmed that it is no longer making Google Nexus 9 tablet and consumers can buy them from stores as long as the stock exists.

"HTC has confirmed it has stopped making the Nexus 9, coincidentally also wiping off the last traces of its brand from the Nexus universe. With the Nexus 9's departure, both from the Google Store and the market at large, the question now is whether there will be another Nexus tablet," according to Slash Gear.
