Google Nexus tabletAn interesting rumour has popped on the web today, which suggests that Google is working on a MediaTek-powered Nexus smartphone. As the report comes with an unverified source, we are sceptical and until there is any credible evidence, we suggest you take it with a pinch of salt.

According to MTKSJ, this Nexus smartphone will be priced closer to $100 and will be targeted to developing markets where low-cost smartphones are popular. If this rumour turns out to be true, we could see the release of two Nexus smartphones this year including the traditionally high-end Nexus smartphone.

Not many details are available at this point but we will be keeping an eye out and will let you folks know as soon as something new pops up.
