Nexus 3 Could Sport NVidia’s Tegra-3

So we already know that Google’s Nexus 3 might very well be in the works and possibly seeing a release date end of the year to coincide with Android’s Ice Cream Sandwich operating system and it seems that there’s a possibility that NVidia’s Tegra-3 processor will be the processor to grace the Nexus 3.

This was after NVidia’s CEO Jen-Hsun Huang was quoted as saying “we’re working very closely with Google on Ice Cream Sandwich, and it’s a very important new generation of operating system based on starting from the Honeycomb base and I’m expecting it to be really terrific. And so we’re working very closely with the Google team, and Tegra will be surely be wonderful for Ice Cream when it comes.”

So it seems like Google and NVidia are working together to produce something and with NVidia’s Tegra processor and Google’s Android operating system it’s not too difficult to draw out a conclusion, and to further cement the possibility of the Tegra-3 to be featured on the Nexus 3, Jen-Hsun Huang was further quoted saying “We’re really excited about the work that they’re doing on Ice Cream. And I can’t comment too much more other than that, but we’re working very closely with their teams on the Ice Cream Sandwich. And as all of these products — they will come to the market when they’re great, and I’m certainly expecting them to be great on this year.”

What does all this mean for the Nexus 3 then? Perhaps being the world’s first quad-core phone which is also 5x faster than the Tegra-2 and a 2560 x 1600 screen resolution. This phone is starting to sound like a powerhouse and might very well be the most anticipated phone for 2011.
