Will Google Nexus One Be The New Benchmark For Smartphones?
Released in January 2010, the HTC manufactured Google Nexus One has been one of the most anticipated mobile phone releases since the Apple iPhone. A plethora of advanced applications and its Android operating system, coupled with the HTC built quality, the Google Nexus One is sure to be a hit. The fact that internet giants Google have put their name on a phone indicates that there will surely be no compromises with this handset.
The Google Nexus One measures 119×59.8mm and is just 11.5mm thick. It weighs in at 130g so is comfortable to hold and operate. The large 3.7” AMOLED capacitive touchscreen displays 480×800 pixels in WVGA resolution offering unparalleled display clarity and brightness. An accelerometer is built into the phone which senses when the phone has been tilted and rotates the onscreen image accordingly so it can be viewed in both portrait and landscape forms. Trackball navigation is included as support to the touchscreen navigation, similar to that found on several Blackberry Models.
Users are alerted to incoming calls and messages via vibration and ringing with the option to use MP3 music files as ringtones. A speakerphone is included allowing hands free communication. A 3.5mm audio jack can be used for hands free kits as well as listening to music with a pair of compatible headphones.
Internal memory in the Google Nexus One is 512MB RAM and 512MB ROM. A microSD slot is found on the handset with 4GB of memory included. This can, however, be expanded to up to 32GB allowing plenty of storage for media files, applications, contact info and other files.
A wide range of connectivity options is available with the handset. GPRS and EDGE are included, both in Class 10 versions. HSDPA is available at speeds of up to 7.2Mbps and HSUPA at up to 2Mbps. WiFi access allows users to take advantage of various hotspots at various locations around the country. Bluetooth v2.1 is installed as standard enabling direct transfer of files and data between Bluetooth compatible devices.
The Google Nexus One is equipped with a camera boasting 5MP which operates at a pixel resolution of 2560×1920 pixels. Features of the camera include autofocus and LED flash, smile detection and the increasingly popular geo-tagging facility whereby users can tag the location where a picture was taken. Video can be recorded in D1 at 720×480 pixels at a rate of 20 frames per second. Pictures and videos can be directly uploaded to YouTube and Picasa via applications which allow direct access to these sites.
A whole host of available features make it easy to see why there has been so much hype about this phone. A range of music and video file formats are supported by the phone’s media player. These can be easily transferred to and from a computer via the microUSB (v2.0) port. Extra features include noise cancellation with dedicated microphone, digital compass and voice memo recorder.
This range of applications and software requires some very capable hardware. A powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 1 GHz processor certainly fits the bill, and adequately compliments the Android v2.1 operating system.
Many will see the HTC Google Nexus One as one of the first major rivals to Apple’s iPhone 3G and its easy to see why.

Actually, people seem to refer to any Android phone as a Google phone. There upcoming phone, will actually have the Google brand name on the handset.
This mobile phone will be made by HTC, Google’s first own brand mobile phone, named the Nexus one, is undoubtedly a superb piece of engineering. The Nexus one slips into your hand and has some really smooth edges to it. For a phone packed with so many features and fucntions, the Nexus is a light handset – weighing just 130g. This is lighter than both the iPhone and the Motorola Milestone
It has a fantastic 3.7 inch widescreen, AMOLED display, delivering 720×480 pixels resolution. Arguably crisper and clearer than any other display on the market. The Nexus One has a very responsive touchscreen. With a built in 1GHz processor and 512MB RAM, the Google phone runs multiple applications with ease.

NewTeeVee’s brief review of Adobe Flash performance on Google’s Nexus One running FroYo was very partial. This video shows NewTeeVee’s own review video running on a Nexus One in the Flash Player without any issues. What Kevin Tofel could have done is at least show that _some_ Flash video runs properly. He didn’t have to look very far – his own website has plenty. I have been watching the TWiT live stream (live.twit.tv) on my HTC Desire for a few weeks now without any issues. The internet connection used was a 1Mbps DSL line (read not broadband). Not all H.264 videos are created equal. FWIW, the iPhone does not play all H.264 MP4 files. They have to be specially crafted. It’s not just about resolution, it’s also about H.264 profiles.

Google Nexus One : An Overview
The screen size for the Google Nexus One is 3.7 inches from corner to corner and is capable of a resolution of 480 x 800 and, along with the multi-touch support, will be an accelerometer and a proximity sensor for auto shut down ability. The Google Nexus One is available with 512 megabytes of ROM, 512 megabytes of RAM and an SD card, expandable from 4 gigabyte up to a possible 32 gigabytes. Wireless internet is an expected feature in the Nexus one, as is Bluetooth, GPS and 3G. The Nexus One has a faster processor than nearly any other phone available on the market, which means it is incredibly responsive. Plus it runs Android 2.1, the newest version of Google’s mobile phone operating system. Because this is Google’s first real phone, it is also probable that the Google Nexus One will be first in line for new over-the-air updates and patches to the Android operating system and Google’s mobile applications, including Google Maps and Google Calendar. Soon after its release, Google made available updates for the operating system, which made the Nexus One, one of the first Android-powered handsets to support multi-touch support such as pinch-to-zoom. Despite a flurry of well-publicised problems with Google’s customer support and some keypad malfunctions, the Google Nexus One is actually a great Smartphone, easily a match for its rivals. Everyone likes to deliberate the next ‘iPhone beater’ – but in reality, the mobiles with an Android operating system are at least content with second place, beating competing manufacturers like Palm, Windows Mobile, Nokia and also RIM’s BlackBerry. The new Google Nexus One is a step in the right direction for Smartphones and a handset being branded by such a large online brand means that support for internet use / data transfer, whether it be by GPRS, WiFi or any other medium is paramount.

Google Nexus One vs Motorola Milestone

Google Nexus One vs Motorola Milestone
When we compare Motorola Milestone and Google Nexus One, it is nothing short of the clash of the biggies, rather the bests in the business. The concept of Android is not very old in the field of the smartphones, but its popularity has increased tremendously over the past one year. In fact, the operating system is running its fourth edition within such a short period of time. The announcement of the Nexus One was pioneering as Google is coming with its own operating system in the device. On the other hand, the already-available Motorola Milestone is definitely very impressive as well. Let’s take a look at the comparisons of these two giants in the mobile phone market.
First of all, let’s take on the speed factor of the mobile phones. The 1GHz Snapdragon processor of Google Nexus One makes it super fast. It can perform at an immaculate speed with various applications running. Compared to that, the speed of Milestone is sluggish. In terms of speed, Nexus One is definitely the winner.
However, in terms of browsing experience, Motorola Milestone marches ahead of the Google Nexus One. The Milestone is supportive of 10.2 mbps, in comparison to the 7.2 mbps speed of the Google unit.
Now, let’s compare the display features of both these devices. Motorola Milestone comes with a 3.7 inch TFT capacitive touch screen with excellent features such as multi touch input method, proximity sensor for auto turn off, accelerometer sensor, and a fill QWERTY keyboard. Nexus One brings in multi touch input method via firmware update touch sensitive controls and accelerometer sensor for UI auto rotate. There is no QWERTY keyboard with Google Nexus One but its display in 3.7 inches AMOLED capacitive touch screen.
Motorola Milestone is definitely a brilliant smart phone, but it is Google Nexus One that wins hands down in this comparison.
