Motorola Working On Nexus 6-like Droid Handset With Snapdragon 810 Chipset [Rumor]

In terms of recently released devices, Motorola has the Nexus 6 and the Droid Turbo. Both are powerful handsets in their own right but apparently Motorola has plans to release the another handset in the near future based on the Nexus 6, except that this time round it will pack even more powerful hardware and will bear the Motorola branding.

According to the rumors, the upcoming handset is said to bear a resemblance to the Nexus 6 which in itself reminds us a bit of the Moto X (2014). However the main difference here will be what’s under the hood. If the rumors are to be believed, the upcoming handset will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor.

This is an upgrade over the Snapdragon 805 found in the Nexus 6 and will also see the amount of RAM bumped to 4GB which will be able to take advantage of the Snapdragon 810’s 64-bit architecture. The rest of the phone is expected to remain somewhat similar to the Nexus 6, meaning that we can look forward to a 5.9-inch QHD display.

In any case there is no way to confirm if the rumors are true, but either way we will be keeping our eyes and ears peeled for more information, but in the meantime what do you guys think? Does the idea of a Snapdragon 810-powered Nexus 6-like device appeal to you?
