Nexus One hands-on preview

Nexus One, the jewel of the Google it ended up the other day in the hands of some reviewers who turned it one way and the other to see how many of the rumors about this phone are really true or not. For those who still don't know what it is Nexus One, I recommend this article where I also presented the data on the phone's hardware.

First of all, the phone is made by the people from HTC, that Google has collaborated many times before, so from the point of view of design, the phone is quite similar in certain lines to the latest terminals from HTC, it is somewhat thinner than the iPhone, however, it is not the best-looking terminal of all , but not the worst.

Nexus One it doesn't really differ that much from Droid, leaving aside the hardware, Android 2.1 does not bring substantial changes, presenting largely the same shortcomings as in previous versions, among them the most important is multitouch which, although it is supported from Android 2.0 upwards, at Nexus One it has not yet been implemented. Although from a hardware point of view it is one of the most powerful phones in the world, as you will see in the video below, the phone has moments when it moves quite heavily, especially while navigating through the home screens, in the time of scrolling through the web pages, however, in total, is somewhat faster than the rest of the phones Android, but not by much.

Android 2.1 comes with several novelties, including a new keyboard, which should make typing easier, live wallpapers that add quite interesting animated wallpapers, the number of home screens has increased to 5, etc. Although Google try, it's still quite far from equal iPhone OS.

All-in-all it's a good phone, and at the marketed price I say it's an option worth considering if you want to buy a phone.
