We\u2019ve been hearing that Verizon would rebrand the 2016 Nexus phones<\/a>, and that Google is renaming the Nexus line \u201cPixel,\u201d with two HTC devices arriving this Fall that bear the monikers \u201cPixel\u201d and \u201cPixel XL.\u201d<\/a> Well, Google has just renamed its Nexus launcher this week, putting an end to the speculation. The name of it? Pixel Launcher.<\/p>\n

The leak was announced by LlabTooFeR, a famous leakster known for his HTC phone leaks, and he\u2019s back to talk about the newly-renamed Nexus launcher because \u2014 to no one\u2019s surprise! \u2014 the new Pixel Launcher is mostly Google\u2019s take on HTC\u2019s own Sense UI with HTC wallpapers that you find on the HTC 10 the Taiwanese phone maker launched earlier this year (which means that it\u2019ll likely arrive with the upcoming Pixel and Pixel XL phones, too). \u201cGoogle\u2019s new Pixel Launcher,\u201d the leakster wrote, with screenshots of what, by all appearances, is nothing more than HTC\u2019s own Sense UI. There are a few other apps as well that I find surprising in the screenshots, but it has \u201cheavy HTC influence\u201d written all over it.<\/p>\n

Nothing more is said about the Pixel Launcher, but the name itself helps those Google faithful who held out hope that Google would not go with the name \u201cPixel\u201d for its upcoming smartphones. Pixel and Pixel XL sound a lot like Microsoft\u2019s naming of the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL \u2014 names that are boring, indeed, with little originality given to them. At least the Nexus name was a brand with a name that meant something. \u201cNexus\u201d refers to the center of the activity, and Google always said that its flagship was the shining example of what Android \u201cshould be.\u201d Well, it appears as though that\u2019s not the case anymore. \u201cPixel\u201d sounds too much like \u201cpixie dust\u201d and fairy tales and is basically a name given to a kid\u2019s toy phone in Toys\u2019 R\u2019 Us (not a mobile device that adults worldwide would want to own and use daily).\u00a0I\u2019m 100% certain that Pixel is not a name to which I\u2019d assign a vote of confidence.<\/p>\n

In any case, LlabTooFeR sounds as though the search engine giant has made up its mind about the new Pixel Launcher and Pixel smartphone moniker. We\u2019ll know for sure on October 4th, but this is as good a clue as we can get right now.<\/p>\n
