Short Review
- The HTC Google Nexus One features a compact design with dimensions of 119 x 59.8 x 11.5 mm and a weight of 130g, making it portable.
- Its 3.7-inch AMOLED display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 252 ppi, which provides decent clarity for its time.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon S1 chipset, a 1.0 GHz Scorpion CPU, and 512MB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking.
- The 5 MP rear camera includes autofocus but lacks optical image stabilization and can record video at 480p.
- The 1400mAh battery capacity is modest and does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 2.1 (Eclair), it can be upgraded to 2.3.6 (Gingerbread), offering a basic user experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device has a headphone jack, which is a plus for audio enthusiasts.
- The brown teflon coating adds a unique aesthetic, though it lacks water resistance.
- Overall, the Nexus One was a solid smartphone for its era, with limitations in performance and camera capabilities.
