The following 6 evident reasons why the Google Nexus 1 can possibly better than the iPhone’s status in the market.
1. Screen – First things first. When you look at a smartphone, the first thing that catches your attention is its screen. Clarity and size of the screen would be a major turn on for any smartphone lover. Well, in this aspect, the Nexus One surpasses the iPhone easily given its bigger screen and also higher resolution which contributes to better clarity.
Nexus One has a 3.7-inch screen compared to a 3.5-inch screen of an Apple iPhone.
The Nexus one also has a widescreen WVGA AMOLED touchscreen with 800x480 pixels resolution display where as the iPhone has a 480x320 pixel resolution at 163 ppi. This simply means that Nexus One is more appealing when it comes to watching video and playing games or browsing the net as it gives sharper details and livelier images.
2. Camera – Next thing one would look for in a high-end phone would be its camera. Well in this aspect the Nexus One again defeats the legendary iPhone conveniently as the Google phone has been blessed with a huge 5-megapixel camera which is way ahead of the 3.15-megapixel camera of the iPhone 3GS. The zooming capability combined with the LED flash of Nexus One leaves the iPhone behind as the Apple device lacks both zooming option and a flash. Nexus One users can also include location of photos by syncing it with the phone’s AGPS receiver.
3. Processor – Any smartphone would surely boast about its processor and when it comes to the Nexus One it can confidently scale above the iPhone with its powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 1GHz processor. The iPhone, on the other hand, has ARM Cortex A8 600MHz processor, which is very slow and is nowhere close to the performance of the Nexus One snapdragon processor. In other words, things seem to happen faster and crispier on a Nexus One than on an iPhone.
4. Operating System – First and foremost, the Android OS used in Nexus One is an “Open system” so that if someone creates a better browser, address book, calendar, or email client, you can install it. Now Nexus One is the first smartphone using the Android 2.1 operating system which is an advanced version of the Android 2.0 OS used in Motorola Droid. The new operating system has better graphic, widgets and customizable homescreens. It also makes multitasking much easier and you can listen to music, surf the net and call a number at the same time without any hindrance or any delay.
The open source platform further enables a user to carry out things that are not possible on an iPhone because of its proprietary iPhone OS (based on Mac OS). Things such as getting updates from Facebook or receiving a Tweet from a friend on the phone, sending emails and listening to music from a website, all can be done in one place rather than spread across programs.
5. Memory – It’s always better to have more. And when it comes to storage capacity surely higher storage is always an added advantage. Nexus One comes with a 512MB RAM which makes it faster compared to the iPhone which has a 256MB RAM memory.
Also Nexus One comes with a 4GB microSD card that can be fitted in its microSD card slot, and the option to expand up to 32GB makes storage of songs movies and other files makes Nexus One better and more convenient than iPhone, which comes with only two choices of internal storage - 16GB and 32GB.
6. Voice Recognition Feature – This feature has been mentioned in the specs of almost all the smartphones in the market but none could give the purpose and the real usage for such a feature. Nexus One, on the other hand, has taken this character of the phone a notch higher and has made it look really useful. The voice recognition feature is compatible with almost all the software and applications and is of practical use, as users can use the voice recognition feature for text messages, emails, updated of community sites, search Google, call contacts, as well as obtain driving directions. On the other hand, the same function in iPhone is of little use as it is not compatible with most of the applications and this makes the feature rudimentary.
The Nexus One surely wins the battle ‘big time’ in this aspect. The Nexus One, given its superiority to the iPhone is extremely reasonable, as it’s cheaper than the iPhone. Nexus One comes at $529.99 unlocked, which is about $70 cheaper than iPhone 3GS (16GB). And a subsidized Nexus One on a 2-year T-Mobile contract comes at $179.99, which is $20 cheaper than a subsidized iPhone 3GS and hence it’s a better value for money product, given its superiority in its features and functionality.
