Google Nexus One Phone Review

Saturday, January 9, 2010




Google’s first venture in mobile phones called Nexus One is already announced and out of the market. Some of the reviews from Nexus One users.

Nexus One Google Phone has features common to some touch screen phones just like the iPhone and Motorola’s Droid phone. However, comparing the Nexus One Google Phone to these, the Nexus One presents a much slimmer design.

Nexus One Google phone is 11.5 mm deep, slightly thinner than the iPhone 3GS at 12.3 mm. It is also slightly lighter than the iPhone 130 grams v. 135 grams). The complete package of Nexus One Google phone when you buy it brand new comes with the phone unit, a removable battery, 4 GB Micro SD storage card (expandable to 32 GB), USB charger and microphone headset.

Nexus One Google phone has four functional touch buttons at the bottom of the screen (back, menu, home, search) and a navigation trackball pointing device. It also has physical power and volume controls. But most of your interaction with the Nexus One phone will be through the gorgeous 3.7 inch 480 x 800 OLED capacitive touch screen. This is the best mobile phone display on the market today according to Tech Crunch, defeating the iPhone’s 480 x 320 display. The screen is bright and alive, and an absolute pleasure to use.

We’ve talked about the positive reviews. Here are some of the negative reviews about Nexus One Google phone:

Nexus One google phone’s hardware bling is an energy hog. The screen will self adjust brightness and Google is smart about turning down the processor when it’s not being used. In addition, battery life is woefully brief, even by iPhone standards. Officially the Nexus One Google phone has up to 7 hours talk time, 250 hours standby, 5 hours of 3G Internet use, 7 hours of video playback and 20 hours of audio playback. However, several users complained that the Nexus One Google Phone shuts down after 1.5 hours of coninuous gameplay due to battery drainage.
