TAG | Nexus One
So its been awhile since I last posted a blog about whats going on in my life. I guess a few things have happened, Leia ran away a few days ago when my dad was walking her in the morning, we spent 4 hours walked over 5 miles through the woods looking for her (with me in shorts…I’m an idiot…I always wear shorts…even in the winter, oh well). And never found her, just as we were driving through the neighborhood and getting ready to go home my mom calls and says she came home…which is a good thing. I did buy the Nexus One, I said I wasnt but after thinking it over…the pros and cons the pros outweighed the cons and I caved…I liked the ability to replace the battery, I liked the ability to use 3G, so I just bought it, and I dont regret it…so far its been a great phone. Lately I’ve been watching a lot of episodes of House, I never really watched it when it first came on…but now I have to admit I really like it, its a great show. Eh I guess lately I’ve just been thinking about a lot of stuff…stuff that’s always on my mind which I’ve written about before, and the future and just a lot of stuff. I need to start doing more work for RunePlanet…I need to start working on Netcessor…I need to do a lot of stuff but put it off…blah….almost valentines day….Hm…more later.
Today, Google started taking orders for their newest creation, the Nexus One, that phone that in theory, could be the iPhone Killer. So what’s so great about this new phone that so many people think it has a chance to take on the king? First off lets talk about the processor in this bad boy. The Nexus one features a Qualcomm QSD 8250 1 GHz, a ONE GIGAHERTS PROCESSOR! The iPhone 3G[s] is stuck with a 833 mhz PowerVR SGX GPU under clocked to 600mhz. So for processing power the Nexus is a clear winner. Now as for RAM the iPhone 3G[s] got a boost of 256mb from the original 128 mb found in the iPhone 2G and 3G, which was a GREAT update and you rarely see an application crash, however the Nexus strikes again with a whopping 512MB of RAM, doubling the 3G[S]. Another awesome feature of the Nexus is the camera, which trumps just about any other smart phone out there, the Nexus includes a 5MP camera with auto focus and LED flash while the 3G[S] is stuck with a 3.0MP auto focus. Both phones have the ability to record video, the iPhone at up to 30 FPS and the Nexus as 20+ FPS. The screens are not too different the Nexus is .2 inches larger. So what do you think do you thinks Google’s phone will finally take down the iPhone? Or will Apple roll out the 4G with better features and an amped up processor? Only time will tell, but for now its really which system your more familiar with, the Nexus is about $100 (unlocked) more than the 3G[S], and it is of course, running Android. With Apple’s policies of taking months to review app updates and new submissions do you think many people will switch over to the Nexus? Or do you think Apple has learned from their mistakes and is working with developers to deal with the App Store mistakes?
