Google Nexus One Review

24 Dec 2009 | Google [Update]

Google Nexus One - Power of joint innovation
HTC and Google are proud to present the Nexus One, featuring the latest incamation of Android. An amazing combination of hardware and software, the Nexus One is a beautiful and powerful phone that seamlessly merges mobile communication, the internet and powerful applications from Android market.

The Nexus One is built by HTC with a lot of input from Google and it runs Android 2.1. The reported changes are a touch of 3D in the app tray, a bit of WebOS gadgetry with a preview of all homescreen pages done card-style. Preloaded are Google Navigation (in the US) and the new Google Goggles, which identifies objects by using the camera and brings up relevant information.

the device is not locked ad works on both AT&T and T-Mobile networks in the US. Engadget have unearthed a report from the FCC about the Nexus One passing their tests. The interesting bit here is that it has quad-band GSM support and 850/1700/1900MHz 3G support, which covers both AT&T and T-Mobile indeed.

HTC is excited to have worked with Google in the development of the Nexus One. Through our collaborative efforts we have delivered the ground breaking Nexus One to market quickly, and accelerated the rate of design innovation across our full portfolio of Android phones.

Our industrial designers and engineers reached deep to come up with a design that would fully take advantage of all the latest advances that the Android platform has to offer. The Nexus One is sleek, light, and extremely thin without sacrificing on power or the vivid visual experience brought forth by the phone’s display.

The Nexus One features active noise suppression by Audience™, a large high resolution 3.7-inch AMOLED display for a truly vivid visual experience, as well as a 1GHz Snapdragon processor for super fast response. It runs Android 2.1 with key enhancements such as the car dock mode to optimize the Google Maps Navigation experience while driving and the clock mode to offer a practical desk clock with quick access to the alarm clock, music player and multimedia gallery.

The Nexus One is available for purchase through a web store hosted by Google. The web store can be found at www.google.com/phone. Currently consumers in the US, UK, Singapore and Hong Kong can buy the Nexus One without service (meaning any GSM network SIM card can be inserted into the device), or purchase the phone with service from one of Google's operator partners.
