There is a new rumor that has made its way out from China, touting that Internet search giant Google will select MediaTek as their chipset supplier for their upcoming Nexus smartphone model. It might be nothing but hot air, really, considering how just about everyone else makes use of Qualcomm processors in this day and age, it would be a real surprise if Google were to make use of MediaTek’s achievements in this department.

After all, we did hear about MediaTek working on their very own hexa-core chipset that they call their own earlier this February, not to mention the MT6732 processor that targets the mid-range market, also heard of in February this year. It must be noted that MediaTek themselves are an up-and-coming mobile chipset manufacturer, so it would make perfect sense for Google to consider them at one point or another. Perhaps, if this were to be true, that Google too, could eventually wield their power of persuasion over the company to release sources for its chips in order for additional custom ROM developments to happen on MTK-based devices.

MediaTek has somewhat gained a reputation for churning out affordable chipsets in the past, so does this mean that we can also expect the next generation Nexus device to be easy on your bank account as well without compromising on performance?

It is nice to see good things arrive to those who wait, and Google, whose claim to fame happens to be in the search engine department, can be said to have improved by a whole lot when it comes to offering accessories for its Nexus hardware range, at least over in the Google Play Store. Of course, from time to time, there seems to be a delay or so in rolling out those accessories as opposed to the actual devices themselves, but I would suppose that the number of accessories are being built up even as you read this. As for the most recent addition to the Nexus ecosystem in the Play Store, it happens to be an official wall charger.

Now, it might seem rather premature to say this, but the alleged Nexus 6 (which will be a Google device for sure) is all set to arrive with a 64-bit 8-core Snapdragon 810 chipset, at least according to the folks over at Digitimes who have cited a new report that hailed from China’s Economic Daily News. It was mentioned that the Snapdragon 810 will arrive some time in the second half of next year, where the chipset is said to boast of a whopping 8-cores that will run in an ARM big.LITTLE configuration, allowing it to merge both speed and battery efficiency in a single form factor.
