What is happening between Google Nexus One and Motorola Droid
Posted by Reginald Bailly under Nexus
To recap, Google was never involved in the business of selling mobile phones.
Today they are launching and selling the Google Nexus One, months after the
very popular Motorola Droid came to market as the first Android-based phone available on the Verizon network.
Google wants to compete but has not added any cool options to the Nexus One to change the smartphone industry. Apparently for Google, the objective is to use the Nexus One as a showcase for the Android platform's potential and to prioritize cutting-edge hardware and software.
The difference between these 2 smartphone is first of all the processors The Nexus have faster processors than the Droid which utilizes Texas Instruments' TI OMAP 3430 processor running at 600MHz. The Nexus One is powered by the Snapdragon 1 GHz core processor.
As for keyboards and display screens, The Droid is can be easily chosen because users have both both a touch screen keyboard and a physical slide-out keypad. The Droid has a 3.7-inch screen that uses Wide Video Graphics Array (WVGA) to display video at 854 x 480 pixels, whereas the Nexus One's screen is slightly finer than WVGA display screen, which operates at 800 x 480 pixels.
The voice-enabled keyboard that will let you vocally update your social networking sites and to speak text into any field, as well as the ability to have a 3D photo gallery, is to the advantage of the Nexus One
The not so interesting thing about the the Droid, is that it is sold exclusively through Verizon, whereas the Nexus One will not be tied to any specific wireless carrier.
Obviously the Nexus One has no flaws or compromises. The phone is the state of the art in mobile smartphone, success is guaranteed for Google until the next generation of smartphones in the market
