It seems like Google is on a roll in introducing new devices for everyone. There’s the upcoming Project Ara that will be available for $50, the newly-patented Google contact lens with built-in microcameras, and now reports are telling us that a new Google Nexus smartphone will be arriving with a price tag below $100.
Since it’s rumored to be really affordable ($100 converts to around the Php4,000 mark), don’t expect that it will be at the same range as the Nexus 5 when it comes to specs. Instead, the company is gearing this new smartphone for the entry-level to midrange category. There is a possibility, though, that we could be seeing better specs than what we normally see in lower-end devices since the Nexus 5 came with better-than-usual specs for its asking price. Hopefully, Google uses this same formula we’re used to seeing from its Nexus lineup. As of now, the only rumored component is a MediaTek processor.
Brand-wise, it’s still undisclosed as to which company will be manufacturing the smartphone. We’ve seen different brands carry the name starting from HTC, Samsung, and LG as the latest Nexus smartphone manufacturer.
Previous reports suggest that Google will be unveiling a lineup of Nexus devices during their event at the end of June including the next flagship Nexus 6, a Nexus 8, and a Nexus 10 2 along with the new Android OS (rumored to be called Lollipop), but we’re not expecting the sub-100-dollar Nexus to make its appearance there.

Oh my goodness! Amazing article dude! Thank you, However
I am having issues with your RSS. I don’t know the reason why I can’t subscribe to
it. Is there anybody getting the same RSS issues?
Anyone who knows the solution can you kindly respond?
Thanks!!
chismis site naba ang yuga… wala naman official announcement ang google sa sinabi dito
butas ng pwet ? porn site ata toh wrong website ako mga baklaaaa
ung mga butas ng pwet comments dito halatang iisang tao lng eh hahaha
Sorry but MediaTek and Nexus just don’t mix. MediaTek is so notorious for not releasing the damn source code of their SoCs in the public. If Google were to do this, they should encourage MediaTek to release their source code or else there will be no deal.
damn true! sa pagkaka alam ko hanggang JB 4.2.2 plng ang MTK.
They could call it the Google Nexus mini and slap it with a qHD screen. 720p seems destined for the mid-range just like the Moto G.
When has Google released any of its phones in the Philippines? The promised moto G was never announced.
I think it’s going to be the same with this one. If you buy from the US, Taxes, import duties and delivery cost will double its price.
If I remember it correctly, they did release Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 here. Only problem is, the price wasn’t subsidized just like in the US. We do have a lot of importers and grey-market resellers here so that won’t be a problem. When it comes to warranty, most don’t care as they root their phones anyway.
You can’t go wrong with a Nexus Phone. Hoping for a local availability.
Project ARA is not equivalent to Google NEXUS
Please get your facts right
What facts?
the article did not state that Project ARA is equivalent to Google NEXUS, it just enumerated the upcoming devices.
I think you missunderstood the first part of the article. Ara was stated because as the title suggest, the next nexus could be cheap, same with ara.
Anyway well this is good for the masses, will probably compete with the “local” brands here in PH.
(I added quotes to the local coz to what I know, this so called “local” are not really made in PH, it is just rebranded China phones…well i hope i could be enlightened by this hehehehe)
Mr/Ms Theo, please read properly before commenting down here. The introduction is very clear yet you still missed the point. Take some time to read before posting an annoying comment. Thanks
halatang di binasa ang buong article…
Here’s a fun fact: malaki ang butas ng pwet mo Theo!
LOL bobo! Tanga! Di makaintindi nga English..
Go back to grade one you dimwitted idiot and get your brain straight!
Wag kasi dunung-dunungan,basa muna ng maigi, magaling pa ko mangulangot kesa magcomment ka theo., and also malaki nga butas ng pwet mo..
Bopols mo Theo.
NEXUS is a Flagship google product…malabo magkaroon ng mga entry level phones sa product line nya…
(Parang Sinabi mo magkaroon ang HTC na HTC ONE or LG G series na ultra low cost).
Kung yung MOTO X (sub $300) at MOTO G (sub $200) na gamechangers dahil sa price di nga rinebrand as NEXUS, tapos binitawan kasi poor sales at pinagbili sa LENOVO… Pano kaya sila kikita sa sub $100 phones….
Dami mong alam,pero magbasa hindi.
If it has near the same specs as Rioa dn CM’s 5K offering then this is hard to beat
