We can describe this Nexus as a “superphone” and “the meeting place of Web and phone”. Big plus for the Nexus One are the Snapdragon processor, the AMOLED, the enhanced voice dialing capabilities and the noise cancellation feature. Some minus are the music player continues to underwhelm, app storage remains limited to the internal memory, the handset lacks hands-free Bluetooth dialing, and it does not support Outlook Calendar syncing.

One thing we should remember that the Nexus One is sold exclusively by Google.
The Nexus One has a sleek and attractive candy bar, touch-screen-only design, a trackball and prominent display. It measures are 4.56 x 2.36 x 0.47 in with only 4.58 ounces weigh and 3.7-inch AMOLED display. Bursting with 16.7 million colors and an 800×480-pixel resolution. Everything from standard text to busy photos and graphics jumped right off the display in full glory. The Android 2.1 operating system adds to the fun with 3D graphics and live wallpapers, which are animated backgrounds that react to our touch and our music.

Nexus One display offers an accelerometer, an ambient light sensor, a proximity sensor, and haptic feedback also available. The touch interface is accurate and responsive, both on the edges and in the center. Nexus One makes some improvement on the home screen. A square touch control with a grid design replaces the menu. There are dots on either side of the touch control that let us skip to an individual home screen or view thumbnails of all home screens in a row. There is also a shortcut bar that allows us to activate and deactivate the Bluetooth, GPS, syncing, and Wi-Fi features, and control the display brightness.

There are four touch controls below the display, used for a back button, home and search keys, and a control for the notifications menu. A long press to the home screen will bring up our recent features, and a long press to the search control will activate voice search. When we’re not using the touch screen, the trackball will be our primary interface tool for accessing menus. It’s large and responsive, and it lights up when we have a message.

The contacts menu is limited by the available memory, but each entry can store multiple fields for phone numbers, street addresses, work information, e-mails, URLs, instant-messaging handles, nicknames, and notes. Contacts are automatically synced from our Gmail account, and we can also sync Facebook and Microsoft Exchange contacts.

The Nexus One supports Gmail and POP3 and IMAP4 accounts. We added an Outlook Web Access (OWA) CNET e-mail, but we were unable to add a Yahoo Mail account via automatic setup. Too bad that not all Yahoo accounts are supported. When we typed in our Yahoo account anyway, the Nexus One informed us that our username and password were incorrect. We were successful only after we performed a manual setup (we’ll need the correct ports and server names). Note that free Yahoo accounts will not sync over Wi-Fi.

Even though the Gmail Calendar will sync automatically, the Nexus One does not support Outlook Calendar and notes. The Nexus One’s top feature is its voice command features. In addition to dialing, we can perform a variety of functions, such as updating our Facebook page, composing a text message, and searching the Android Market using only our voice.

The 5-megapixel camera offers four resolutions, the aforementioned flash, white balance and color effect controls, autofocus, infinity focus, a 2x digital zoom, and three quality settings. The enhanced camera interface came with Android 1.6 with quick switch to the camcorder. We can record up to 30 minutes of video in a 720×480-pixel resolution (20 frames per second), but clips for multimedia messages are capped at 30 seconds. We can also select a quality setting, a color effect, and white balance.

Photo quality is satisfying. Colors looked natural and there was little image noise. The flash is relatively bright. Video quality is about average. When shooting, we still have to keep our phone steady for up to 4 seconds to avoid a blurry photo. We can add music via a USB cable, a memory card, or from the Amazon MP3 Store. Call quality was quite good on the whole. Conversations were clear, the volume was loud, and little static or interference.

Some other management features are a calculator, a full duplex speakerphone, a compass, a text-to-speech feature, A2DP stereo Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, text and multimedia messaging, and the full slate of Google applications like YouTube, Picasa, Google Voice, Google Talk, and Google Goggles. Google Maps offers the standard features, plus a night mode and search suggestion. Nexus One also has the Car Home application, which offers local search and real-time, turn-by-turn directions with voice.

The full HTML Web browser lacks Flash Lite. Zoom in by double-tapping our finger and by using the pinch. The browser offers other Android features like bookmarks, multiple windows, and the capability to cut and paste. Music quality is decent over the external speaker, but a headset will offer the best experience. Streaming video over the YouTube app is mostly satisfying, but it will depend on our 3G connection. The Nexus One’s greatest triumph is its 1Ghz Snapdragon processor. Applications loaded instantly and there was no lag when switching between features.

Plus :

The Nexus One has a gorgeous display, a lightning-fast processor, and a loaded feature set. This is truly the fastest Android phone. The enhanced voice capabilities worked flawlessly, and the phone delivers solid performance. The photo quality and video quality are above average.

Minus :

The Nexus One forces us to store apps on the internal memory. The media player remains average, and it’s missing some wanted features like hands-free Bluetooth dialing. Bad news, Outlook Calendar syncing is not available.
