Some notable features of the Google Nexus One include a huge 3.7 inch (diagonally) screen with a resolution of 480 x 800, an accelerometer, multi-touch support a proximity sensor. Along with 512 megabytes of ROM (Read-only memory) for the operating system to work on, the Google Nexus One also comes with 512 megabytes of RAM and a 4 gigabyte SD card, which is expandable up to 32 gigabytes.
As expected, it also comes with Bluetooth, GPS, 3G and WiFi support. The Google Nexus One has a processor with capable speeds of 1 Ghz, meaning that it will be one of the fastest Smartphones available. It will also be running the most up-to-date version of the famed Android software, version 2.1. For Google, it is their first foray into the Smartphone market, and the Nexus One will be the first phone to have downloadable updates and patches for the operating system and other applications, available via the internet.
Google released an update for the Android 2.1 OS, relatively soon after the release of the Nexus One enabling the support of multi-touch features of the screen, meaning that the Google Nexus One is one of the first handsets to have such features as ‘pinch zoom’. In contrast to what you may have read in internet reports or newspapers regarding problems with the phone’s keypad or Google’s customer service, the Nexus One is actually a very good Smartphone. It is very common to hear the phrase ‘iPhone beater’ around the new releases of Smartphones but, in reality, most handsets that carry the Android operating system are content with just being ahead of much larger brands like Samsung, RIM (BlackBerry) and Nokia. The Google Nexus One, being offered by a huge online business, means that data transfer via the internet is of paramount importance to the success of the handset, and will certainly be a feature that Google are sure to hone to the highest standards possible.
