MediaTek is probably the fastest growing chip maker, and while you might have heard of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips or Nvidia’s Tegra…

True, we're looking forward to see the Micromax Canvas HD, that's probably going to be the first MT6589 phone.

With all of respect. Tegra is not competitor for anyone at smartphone market. Share of Tegra is also minimal.

Speaking from a US standpoint, it is noticeable, and that's our perspective here.

Micromax Canvas HD A116 has a mediatek quad core in it and an HD(1280 x 720) IPS display and a 8 mp camera, but only priced at INR 10,000 (around 185 Dollar). No other big brands can compete.

Neither they need to compete: it uses a Mediatek MT6589, which is chipset worth of 2011, hardly competition with the 2012 ones. With a GPU PowerVR 544 SINGLE CORE. Even if it´s quad core it can lag as hell being HD.
Only because of that most of the people (outside India) would not even look at the phone.

Isn't the nexus 4 already cheap? (except in some developing nations)

Nexus 4 is very cheap for a flagship, Mediatek makes chips for the REALLY cheap phones.
We are talking about phones that cost less than $150, half the $300 tha the nexus 4 costs.

Yea looking forward to micromax canvas hd a116. But the processor runs on a7 architecture not the a15. Can the a7 handle graphic intintensive games without lagging issues?.
Though I checked the phone's review it was sleak on stock android.
