Google Nexus One
Thank you to a secret meeting with a source, I have a chance to play with and try the Nexus One. It is basically my time with him, Google Killer Droid. It is thin; it’s fast, its better anyway.
My source was very firm on any photograph, and I do not want anything to jeopardize not the end of my source, so there are no photos, so that these images are, we’ve already shown. But for the general public about all the bullets came from this week, the most beautiful and very clear on the last week of Boy Genius, everyone knows what the phone looks like now. Hell, it even has a solution for unemployment insurance announced today that on YouTube. So I will focus on the experience and how it compares to the droid and the iPhone 3GS.
How It Feels
The Nexus One is slightly thinner than the iPhone 3G and a little easier. No hard data is dropped, unfortunately, because Google is not even the people they know the phone. The back is not really cheap and plasticky, like support for the iPhone, and feels like a sort of rubber like material. Well, not smooth like the iPhone, but not as rubbery as the droid. It is midway between the two.
You can call the antithesis of the Droid: smooth curves and light, instead of hard, sharp and pointed. It feels long and silky and naturally in the hand – more than the iPhone 3G. There are also three gold contacts on the base designed for the future of docking (can you collect? but there are no accessories for the phone now. It plugs in via microUSB yet.
The screen is strong enough good
Even if the screen is the same size and same resolution as the droid, it is much better. The colors are more vivid and blacks are blacker than the two side by side and offer a variety of websites and loading of various games occupied. Eyelets on Perez Hilton and Blues on Gizmodo did not appear much to the N1 and made the droids (which has actually been considered as having a large screen) appear washed out. This sentiment is echoed in the relationship when comparing the iPhone with 3GS. And it’s really bright compared to the other two phones.
This is probably the best picture we’ve seen on a smartphone before. Probably.
Why so fast?
Google did that Motorola (and Verizon) for a quick start to his head, as is the Nexus One surprisingly faster than the droid. The speed of dominance was most evident when using the loading of Web pages compared, but even if you just scrolling around, started applications, and move the operating system, one can say that brains are sturdier in N1. I do not know the technical details to be sure, but it speaks of a 1 GHz processor inside, pushes it through, and would be as above 550MHz arm of Motorola A8 recent toy.
When comparing the three phones when loading a Web via Wi-Fi, called the Nexus The first iPhone 3G came later in a few seconds, the droid came after a certain time after. This was loaded on the number of webpages constantly, so it is indicative of something inside with hardware.
I ran three through a JavaScript engine reference for quantifying the numbers, while the results were the link between one and iPhone 3G, the droid was still about 60 percent of the other only two. Surprisingly scored better Mobile Safari on the iPhone on the benches javscript the Nexus, the Nexus could even pull-down and the reality of making web pages faster. Notice that I did not list the real numbers here, for reasons of confidentiality.
This background video Crazy
You’ve probably heard of the video backgrounds animated, but they are actually more than just entertainment: You can interact with them.
The background is the default square/8-bit come when the lines of colored squares on different sides of the screen. What’s neat (although it is redundant, and drain the battery) is that you tap anywhere on the desktop in an empty room and trigger points that stretches around your cock can. Basically, you press anywhere because of the blocks flying outward. The same thing happens in the water “” background, but instead of blocks, causing waves in the water.
What is also nice to have two meters of its virtual, as a viewer of music that you act now on your phone? There is an analog that resembles an old red with a needle, and a “digital” is similar to the one you look elsewhere. Sorta neat in itself, but it shows that the interactive backgrounds can interact efficiently with applications, as long as we know, the other APIs.
Other bits
The 5-megapixel camera is nice, and the flash works well enough to flash the phone, but not spectacular photos taken in the early hours of Googlers and made available online. There are auto focus, and activate it with the trackball on the front of the phone. There is no tap to look like the emphasis on the iPhone 3G.
There is no multi-touch in the browser or in the card, but I think at this stage is more of a legal test as a technical matter, since many phones have the capability of the support multi-touch on a hardware level, Android.
Playing music through the speakers decent but not exceptional. It certainly want the need for a dock – like all smartphones – if you listen to music for a longer period of time.
I have not had the chance to use them because I wanted to keep it as anonymous as possible, and would not pursue any case, if I have the phone is used. In the work, people say, in his time with him, he works as a phone, and should be as normal as other Android phones in the SMS / MMS division.
So what does this mean?
If Google is planning on releasing this phone as a phone Official Google, would it be a premium brand Android phone out there right now testifies. Although she has no physical keyboard, it really beats the hell out of the droid in every single task we threw at them. And honestly, some people do not like the keyboard droid, because it shares empty and the keys with the other. Screen keyboard N1 felt good, and fast processor, so that each key has been correctly interpreted.
But in the end it is still an Android phone. If you want Android phones, is that we should get, if Google continues with plans rumors themselves, or they sell the partnership with T-Mobile in a more traditional role. Droid is shmoid, Nexus, you’re looking for.
