Kevin Yang, director of China research at mobile analytics company iSuppli has shared via his Weibo account that Google has chosen Huawei to make its Nexus smartphone/tablet.
The Mountain View company has previously collaborated with Samsung, HTC and LG for making its Nexus models. Also, making the next Nexus could be a big booster for Huawei in particular as far its market reputation is concerned.
It must be noted that reports that Huawei may be the maker of the next Nexus device have been doing the rounds for quite some time now. An anonymous source had earlier taken the same Weibo platform to suggest that Google was planning to launch two Nexus variants sometime in 2015.
According to the post, Huawei would be the maker of a low-end cheaper variant, while a high-end Nexus would be manufactured by South Korean company LG.
The current breed of Nexus devices, the Nexus 6 smartphone and the Nexus 9 tablet have been built by Motorola and HTC respectively. The Nexus 6 is available in India at a price tag of Rs.43,999 for the 32GB variant.
