While some of the companies Google has worked with have been quite vocal about how good their working relationship is with Google (ahem, LG and ASUS), others we know practically nothing about. The relationship that Google has struck up with Huawei appears to be strictly business after producing the wonderful Nexus 6P smartphone this year, however if new rumours are to be believed, Google might be coming back to Huawei for another Nexus smartphone next year – specifically, a Huawei Nexus with a Snapdragon 820 processor.
The rumour originates from analyst Pan Jiutang, who was the first to suggest this year’s Huawei-manufactured Nexus 6P would have the Snapdragon 810 instead of the Snapdragon 820 – so we’re willing to at least give him the benefit of the doubt. Of course, it’s just a prediction at this point, but if it turns out to be true, it would really illustrate the power that Google has over Huawei – Huawei launched its own SoC this year, the Kirin 950, which has proven to be quite the powerhouse, so for Huawei to turn away from that would require some significant clout.
