The first reviews of the Google Nexus One are excellent, but let’s be honest, the new android phone does not beat the iPhone.
Let us start with the advantages of the Google Nexus One:
- The processor in the device is is better than the processor of the iPhone (not much better, but better), it is the fast 1 Ghz processor Snap Dragon. This processor allows you to close any applications for the device to work faster. The iPhone uses a 600 Mhz processor.
- The device is (a little bit) thinner than the iPhone
- It has a somewhat larger screen.
- It has a 5MP camera, the iPhone has a 3MP camera.
- Although not yet working perfectly, the Nexus One uses voice commands for sending a SMS. The accuracy is about 90%. Simple messages can be send more quickly, because you don’t have to type it.
David Progue of the New York Times believes that the Nexus One is a worthy competitor to the Motorola Droid, but not for the iPhone. Let us explain why this smart man says this.
The advantages of the iPhone:
- Many users have some problems with the battery life of the iPhone. It is true that your battery needs recharging every 3 days. This is not always fun, but knowing that the Nexus One is even worse, it does not suit them. An example: Suppose you just want a use program or a play game, then you, even if your battery is fully charged, will have to recharge your Nexus One battery after 1.5 hours, because your battery is completely empty!
- The number of applications: The iPhone has more than 100,000 applications, The Nexus one has about less than 30,000 applications, conclusion, the iPhone is still the best application platform.
- The internal memory of the Nexus One is much lower than that of the iPhone. which concludes in the fact that far fewer applications can be installed onto the device. Ok, you will be able to use SD-cards, but it’s easier if your phone has enough memory when you buy it.
- Most importantly, and where the Nexus One can totally not match, is the software for music, photos and videos. The iPhone, in combination with the familiar iTunes software, is no match for any phone!
So… these are the advantages and disadvantages of the Nexus One. I find it quite a good phone, but really compare it with the iPhone, I don’t think so (yet). Google has 1 big advantage with, it’s using the Google Voice. This ensures that you can call free. One small problem for people who are reading this in Europe, you could not use it in Europe. Only users who live in America can use it… Another thing, Google Navigation can also only be used in America.
