The Google Nexus One : The Basics Explained

By Mark Walters

Pretty much everyone who has bought themselves a Google Nexus One has been impressed with their new purchase. Why? Well, these are some of the reasons for its popularity...

Design - The Nexus One is undoubtedly a sleek, beautiful device. It has a magnificent screen display which dominates the front of the phone. It is incredibly slim - slimmer than even the iPhone 3Gs - and has a nice sturdy feel to it even though it is one of the lightest smartphones available. All in all, it is a phone that you will be pleased to be holding in your hand.

Speed - The Nexus One's 1 GHZ Snapdragon processor, the premier processor in cell phones today, enables it to jump from page to page smoothly and switch orientation without a hitch.

Homescreen - Google has completely revamped the homescreen experience with its latest offering. It features five panes, updated widgets and a fast, common sense based navigation system. You can, for example, get news and weather updates, update your Facebook status, and play music all from your homescreen.

Camera - The top of the line 5 MP camera takes lush, beautifully colored photographs with the aid of an LED flash. The UI gives you plenty of options in order to refine your photography. You can also record video of up to 30 fps with the video camera.

Display - The phone packs has perhaps the best touch screen display that you will find on any cell phone. The 3.7" AMOLED screen used makes watching browsing the internet, playing games and watching videos a really nice experience. An added benefit of the large screen size is that it makes typing on the Google Nexus One fast and easy.

Voice Input - Google had the foresight to add speech-to-text to Android 2.1 technology; therefore, any function on the Nexus One that allows for typing allows for verbal data entry as well. This feature is really quite accurate, lending a high level of ease to sending a quick text message.

Making Calls - Sometimes lost in all of the wizardry and features of today's cell phones is the fact that they are, indeed, telephones. The Nexus One is a top notch telephone. HTC applied a dual microphone system to it, with one performing the voice duties and the other canceling noise.

So, if you are looking to buy a new cell phone then you could do a lot worse than the Google Nexus One. In fact, it would actually be incredibly difficult to find anything better. Arguably, this is the best there is!
