evleaks: Verizon will carry the two Pixel phones

Re: evleaks: Verizon will carry the two Nexus phones

..what if the new Google-sold Nexus phones don't support Verizon and Sprint like the Nexus 6, 5X, and 6P? That could be a reason for this Verizon variant.

That would be a HUGE step backward with no real reason.

And that would SUCK but ... I think it might be enough for me to not buy it; not sure. Depends on whether or not it could be software converted like the old GPE phones and somehow still work on Verizon.

Then I sure won't buy one out of the gate; I would want to see if Verizon puts themselves between timely updates and the device. I also very much like not having their bloat ware, even disabled. As much as I like stock Android, I might look at an unlocked S7.

I guess I'll start the rumor now.

How bad can Big Red screw this up? Did the old Galaxy Nexus have VZW bloat, or not get timely updates? Just curious as to what to expect....

No bloat; was actually difficult to get Verizon apps to work for the first year. They did also impede Google Wallet at first. There was also no bloat on the Nexus 6 they carried, though it did briefly have its own software build version. As for updates... really depends on if anything is changed or if they're just selling it.

I thought the Galaxy Nexus had the My Verizon and Visual Voice Mail apps.

Hmm, you may be right. It's been awhile, I'm probably mistaken.

Found this article which sums it up nicely Yep: Verizon will probably sell the 2016 Nexus phones
