Vivo phablet by Chinese producer BKK rumored to have Nikon's Expeed image processor

With the bandwagon of smartphones equipped with outrageous number of megapixels on their camera and bigger sensors, one manufacturer may have thought of adding all the ingredients (including Nikon's legendary Expeed image processor) to make it notoriously compete against everything else.

The Vivo phablet by BKK packs with 1/1.7" CMOS partnered with a fast f/2.0 lens and Nikon's Expeed processor.

"The professional image processing chip used is Nikon's Expeed E1-158 1051 200 M, which could be a slightly modified version of the old Expeed 3 ARM processor introduced in 2011 with the Nikon 1 series mirrorless cameras."

It may seem hard to speculate this rumor considering I haven't received any information regarding BKK's joint venture with the camera manufacturer. It may be a step for Nikon to start experimenting the smart phone market by supplying their image processors to mobile phone manufacturers. There was even a rumor that the upcoming Nexus 5 will sport a Nikon camera module.
It is also worth noting that Nikon's executives have raised concern on the increasing smart pone market share that could shrink the compact camera market. Even Nikon has started experimenting on their own line of camera phones to catch the trend.
In the meantime, no word from the Chinese manufacturer as to what the phone may be packing internally aside from the rumoured camera bits. For now, I would probably settle on the idea that it may be packing no less than a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB ROM, Full HD 5 display.
