Three interesting bits of hardware that are in both of these new phones - Nexus Imprint (the fingerprint sensor), the Android Sensor Hub (which appears to be a new chip, but no confirmation on what it is or who designed it), and a very nice camera module which seems to be performing nicely. I've long felt that a major disadvantage for the Android ecosystem is that the OEMs simply don't have the resources to compete with Apple when it comes to designing new hardware, and it leads to situations where the iPhone is years ahead for certain features. One solution for that is for Google to invest in these technologies and make them available to all the OEMs, a bit like Android but for hardware too. I wonder if that's what is happening here? Looking forward to a teardown.
