Google Nexus One

Although many did not believe it possible or likely, the information that have been arriving in recent days and left no doubt about the existence of Google Nexus One, the mobile phone search giant with whom they want to give their vision of how it should be a terminal with Android.

To do so have decided to work jointly and closely with one of the largest manufacturers of phones with Android, HTC, thus achieving a terminal tailored to what Google wanted, even more than earlier models like the Motorola Droid in that Google had put a lot of hands.

Google Nexus One, specifications

Specification is not much more than stress, having been almost all of them unveiled earlier. However, it is worth giving a look to know that is what brings this phone.

Outside we found a 3.7-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 800 × 480 pixels, and type AMOLED. Oddly enough, the trackball is located at the bottom of this is illuminated in different colors to give visual information from different events (new messages, missed calls ,…).

Inside, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor gives you the power to run all applications smoothly. The light sensors to automatically adjust the brightness, and proximity are taken for granted, and the GPS receiver, accelerometer and compass.

It adds also a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash and a headphone jack 3.5 mm with four contact points. This means that serves simultaneously as a headset and a microphone. The handset itself includes a pair of microphones for noise suppression.

All this comes at a thickness of 11.5 mm and weighing 130 grams, plus the ability to record a message in the case when we ask.
Not everything is hardware, Android goes beyond

Although the specifics of Google Nexus One are attractive, it is important to have an operating system that gets all the performance sacarles. The phone comes equipped with Android 2.1, the latest version of this system, which includes applications like Google Maps with navigation system, a client of Facebook and others that have been seen in the Motorola Droid.

Moreover, it has increased the number of five main screens, providing more space for widgets and shortcuts. Among the widgets will find one to show news and another to display the current time GPS tracking.

Another novelty is the incorporation of animated wallpapers and interactive. Examples show the reflection of a tree in a lake, where we will see leaves fall to the water waves are or how we play the water to form these waves. Be seen whether this affects the autonomy of the terminal.

The application launcher has also been redesigned to facilitate access to these, as well as photo viewing system, depending on when grouping these have been taken, which have been taken, … also automatically upload them to Picasa.

Speech recognition has been added to the whole system, so that we can enter text by voice in any field. This works, for example, the GPS navigator or the new Google Earth has added to the system.

Google Nexus One, how to buy

Google wants to disengage some operators to sell when the terminals equipped with its operating system. For this reason, they will from their own page: http://www.google.com/phone is the site chosen to do so.

Of course, operators do not disappear altogether in the process, because the terminal will offer both free and under contract. At first, put on sale in U.S. T-Mobile, while Europe is Vodafone’s chosen to bring the phone during the spring of this year.

So far they have not announced the prices that come into our hands, but in the United States costs $ 529 if you want free and $ 179 if purchased with a two-year contract.

This store, which sold the Nexus One United States, United Kingdom, Singapore and Hong Kong in the first instance, will add new models in the future, both from HTC and other manufacturers and with other operators.
