A new Huawei Nexus smartphone might get the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset. For the release date, a report from Phone Arena suggests that it is "unlikely to be unveiled before [the] second half of 2016."

The publication cited China-based analyst Pan Jiutang, which claimed that the new Huawei Nexus might be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 820. According to recent reports, the latest Qualcomm SoC is boasting of impressive benchmark scores.

Android Authority shares that Snapdragon 820 offers better memory bandwidth, with "more than twice the performance of the Snapdragon 810 in specific GeekBench 3 tests." Furthermore, the Adreno 530 GPU featured in Snapdragon 820 "completely dominated all the benchmarks thrown at it," the report notes.

Specifically, the Adreno 530 GPU's GFXBench tests were able to obtain scores that are 52 percent to 72 percent greater than the next-fastest Android mobile device. Accordingly, this device is the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, which is powered by Exynos 7420 processor.
