Nexus phones to be discontinued

If recent reports on the internet are true then the nexus 5x and the nexus 6p of last year are the last of the nexus's.

 As we all know there have been many leaks of the new "nexus" phones that Htc is making but now rumors claim that the phones may not have any branding at all. Not the htc logo on it and not the nexus logo on it. Nexus phones are pretty much known for their distinctive "Nexus" logo on the back but now if its going away , maybe we'll see a new brand start withing Google.

Nexus phones had stock google software pre loaded and thats what made them special. However as we can see google is planning to change that as it has released the new google launcher ,which if rumors are true , will only be present on the new google phones. Also we've heard that google is planning to change the ui for the new phones coming out. Nexus phones were known for "stock pure android" but now for the upcoming phones google stated "the phones will come out with tweaked vanilla interface and additional software". 

However all we can do right now is speculate as these are still reports and rumors and nothing has been confirmed as of yet.What do you think then? is the nexus brand gone? Comment your thoughts down below.
