Google introduces its new phone: Nexus One
After weeks of leaks and revelations, the Google phone has been officially revealed….it’s what Google calls a “Superphone”
According to Mashable, this is what they have learned so far:
- The specs match previous leaks. It’s a 3.7″ AMOLED display with a trackball.
- It comes with features such as a light sensor, GPS, and accelerometer. These are all features pioneered by Apple’s iPhone.
- It’s 130 grams in weight and 11.5 mm in width, about the width of a standard #2 pencil.
- The camera is 5MP with LED flash.
- The audio has received an upgrade. It has two microphones, one of which is used for noise cancellation.
- Customization is a key to the Nexus One. There are five home screens to customize your interface.
- Google showed off some of its dynamic touchscreen features of the software. For example, one of the wallpapers is a lake with leaves. When you touch it, it will ripple. It’s quite nifty, actually.
- They worked with the team at CoolIris to visualize photons on the Nexus One in a 3D environment. If you tap on an album, you’ll be able to quickly scan and load photos. You can also tip and dip photos based on your hand motions and the accelerometer.
- Every text field is voice-enabled. Every time you speak, it will process your speech into text. It gets better and better the more you use it.
The phone costs $179 on T Mobile with a two-year contract….to learn more go to Google.com/phone
