HTC Google Nexus One Review
Pitched to buyers as a phone built on a robot’s brain, designed to do your bidding and nothing more, the Google Nexus One by HTC is an exciting addition to Google’s mobile phone offerings. Through careful marketing, Google has created a positive image for a phone that they promise to be excellent. At £400, buyers have high expectations and even higher hopes, and for good reason. Numerous mobile phone reviews are available but does the Google Nexus One live up to the hype, or is it just incremental update?
Feature wise, the Nexus One boasts an impressive 3.7 inch display, measures just 11.5 mm thick, and runs an ultra-powerful Snapdragon Chipset. Partnered with HTC, the Nexus One’s display not only is large, but manages to keep looking bright and sharp for hours of constant use. The responsiveness of the touch screen leaves little to complain about, offering pinpoint accuracy when necessary, and avoiding unnecessary sensitivity when scrolling through menus. Running Android 2.1, there’s already a wealth of applications and software available, continuing to deliver what users have come to expect from this product line.
All in all, while the price may be high, and the battery life leaves something to be desired, the Nexus One manages to outperform on all other fronts. This is a fantastic mobile phone with the power to do just about whatever it’s asked to, much like how it was marketed. The Nexus One is simply a very capable mobile, and should be near the top of any mobile enthusiast’s wish list for the latest mobile phones.
