The Genuine-article Google Phone is Finally Here — For Better or Worse

Posted by admin under Google Phone News

As you’ve heard, the Nexus One runs atop the much-hyped, rarely seen 1GHz Snapdragon CPU from Qualcomm (the same processor powering the HD2) — really the highlight of this show. The phone also has 512MB of both RAM and ROM. The display is an AMOLED, 480 x 800 capacitive touchscreen, and the handset also contains a light sensor, proximity sensor, and accelerometer, along with an HSPA-capable GSM radio, WiFi, the prerequisite AGPS chip, and a microSD slot (which comes loaded with a 4GB card, but is expandable to 32GB).
One place where the Nexus One seems to be improving things is in the camera department. So if you want to go on a vacation and know more About Armenia and the Armenian Holidays, you could capture every moment you spent at these places.
Not only has Google bumped up the speed of the camera app, but the 5 megapixel lens and flash took sharp, detailed images with none of the HTC-related issues we’ve seen on other models. The focus of the lens was super speedy, and images came out looking more or less as we’d hoped.
Of course, if Google’s goal is to spread Android more wide than deep, maybe this is the right phone at the right time: class-leading processor, vibrant display, sexy shell, and just a sprinkling of geekiness that only Google could pull off effortlessly.
