The 64-bit processors could soon cease to be an exclusive of high-end devices to become accessible to a fairly wide audience thanks in the near future, judging by the latest news from Taiwan, since the Nexus that it is rumored that Google could throw for U.S. dollar 100 could tell one of them.
Exactly a week ago the rumor began to circulate that Google could be preparing an important novelty for your range Nexus: a mid-range smartphone priced at just $ 100. Today, not only information is coming back confirming this project, but also leaving us some new information about its Technical specifications.
A $ 100 Nexus with a 64-bit processor
When we spoke to you for the first time about this assumption new Nexus ultra-low cost, We already told you that the only thing that was known about him so far is that he would mount a processor Mediatek, which would be, in fact, a key factor to achieve this low price. The news that comes to us today from the Taiwanese media, however, is even more interesting, since they affirm that the processors that are being considered are the MT6732, of quad core and 1,5 GHz frequency, and the MT6752, from eight cores and 2,0 GHz frequency. In either case, we would be talking about processors with 64 bit support, which probably will not reach in future performance Snapdragon 805, but that undoubtedly represent an important claim in a device of that price.
A new strategy against the threat of the OnePlus One?
When the first information about this possible Mid-range Nexus, it was stated that in principle this would be a device that would not replace the Nexus 6, but now some media dare to speak of him as the Nexus 6. We will have to wait for new information to confirm if this will be the case or not but, the truth is that, with the expansion of Oppo (and other low-cost manufacturers) and the arrival of OnePlus One, perhaps the segment in which the current one is competing Nexus 5 is becoming too confrontational and it cannot be ruled out that Google You have decided to bet on a change in strategy.
