That conveniently overlaps with Andy Rubin's appearance at Recode's Code Conference, which starts on May 30. It's expected we'll get some sort of details on the device — and the company itself — and could even see the hardware.
Aside from a single teaser image showing a tiny corner of the phone, we don't really have any details on what's in store. We expect a futuristic phone that's running Android and has some value-added features based on artificial intelligence, but then again, that's sounding a lot like every other top-end phone launched in 2017.
We'll have to wait a week and see how much Rubin has to show off.

I'm curious but I wouldn't be holding my breath.
-
Probably just a new picture exposing yet another 10 cm of the phone.
-
LOL
-
10 cm is actually quite a lot, as phones go. It's nearly my entire screen!
-
I'm definitely excited to see this phone. He is after all one of the creators of android and was leading the android team for nearly a decade.
-
I'm not bothered about something big coming. I'm fed up of oversized phones, give me something smaller, small bezels and a flat screen about 4.7" would be ideal.
-
4.7" with no bezels would be insanely tiny. You could very comfortably reach a full 5" screen with no bezels, so i'd say 5" can be a minimum, and if its 5.5" or even 6" with no bezels, then its perfect!
