Budget Nexus One due for developing countries?

A downgraded version of Google's Nexus One smartphone may ship to markets in developing countries, including India, according to this week's TechTree report. This handset would be slimmer than the current and only Nexus One and would have less features, though what exactly it would lack has not been disclosed. This will also mean a lower price of entry, but again, no specifics are yet known.

Whether it would be a totally different handset is unknown, but likely, due to the slimmer profile. The same 3.7-inch touchscreen of the original is expected to be carried over, along with the Snapdragon CPU. The most likely features to be downgraded are to be the megapixel count of the camera and less internal storage space.

The existence of this handset is just a rumor at this point, with no leaked photos or company documents supporting it.
