What is a taimen, you ask? It's a type of salmon.

Next, we learned via 9to5Googlethat someone working for LG reported a “USB PD Compliance Failure” in the Android Issue Tracker. But the rabbit hole goes even deeper: A "Googler" then asked that this report be moved to "Android > Partner > External > LGE > Taimen > power."

Ergo, LG is working on the next generation Pixel XL.

Oh, also, an Android Policeeditor claimed LG is manufacturing the taimen.
