With the recent release of the Google Nexus One in the states I thought I’d spend some time comparing its basic features to the ever popular Apple iPhone.
The two phones are similar in appearance but function quite differently, some has ever gone as far as calling the Nexus One the “iPhone Killer”.
Let’s have a look…
Google Nexus One
- Unlocked: The Nexus One is being sold unlocked so customers can purchase service plans separate from the mobile.
- Price: While the price has not been released in the UK, we can assume it will be around the US price $529 unlocked (330GBP).
- Applications: The Nexus One features between 15,000 and 20,000 applications.
- Camera: 5 megapixels, flash, autofocus
- Screen: 480×800 pixel resolution screen, 3.7in touch screen display
- Weight: 4.69 ounces
- Operating System: Android
- Manufacturer: HTC

Apple iPhone 3GS
- Locked: It’s true the iPhone can be purchased unlocked, it is generally sold locked with contracts with either O2 or Orange.
- Price: Around £700 and up unlocked 16 GB.
- Applications: more than 100,000
- Camera: 3.2 megapixels, no flash, autofocus
- Screen: 480×320 pixel resolution, 3.5in widescreen multi-touch display
- Weight: 4.8 ounces
- Operating System: iPhone OS 3.0
- Manufacturer: Apple
It’s clear that Google has spent much time and effort studying the iPhone’s best and worst qualities while developing innovations and improvements to create what they hope will become the best selling smartphone of 2010.
So what does this mean????
It means that the Google Nexus One could very well give the iPhone a run for its money! In the end it all comes down to usability, quality and durability.
