Huawei’s Nexus smartphone may offer global LTE support

While Google’s Nexus smartphones usually come equipped with top-of-the-line hardware, their popularity can be largely attributed to the pure Android experience that they offer. But this time around, Huawei is going to give you one more reason to get excited about the upcoming Google flagship – it could be compatible with LTE bands worldwide.

According to BGR India, the Huawei-made Nexus will feature a single PCB for all bands, making it the world’s first Global LTE capable smartphone. Usually a country either has FD-LTE or TD-LTE frequency bands, therefore, smartphone companies manufacture country-specific handsets. Those travelling from one country to another often face network issues if their handset is not compatible with the frequency bands of the new country.

“In order to save costs, manufacturers instead have different variants for different regions. However this is something only Google would do,” a Huawei source was quoted as saying.

It is not clear whether Huawei is using Qualcomm’s RF360 technology that promises to deliver one global LTE solution for bands of multiple frequencies.

Earlier, we had reported a leaked video that showed the design and specifications of Huawei’s upcoming Nexus smartphone. According to rumours, the Huawei Nexus will come with a 5.7-inch QHD display, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 processor, 13.1-megapixel rear camera with laser focus, 4GB of RAM and NFC support. Needless to say, it will run Android M out-of-the-box.
