Google are this evening set to officially unveil their first own-branded mobile phone.
Touted as an iPhone killer, here below we give you the lowdown on this hotly anticipated handset.
1. The phone takes it name from one of the “replicants” in Ridley Scott’s classic sci-fi movie Blade Runner.
2. While a number of manufacturer’s have released handsets featuring Google’s Android operation over the past couple of years, this is the first piece of hardware to sport the search giant’s familiar multicoloured logo. The device was built by Taiwanese manufacturer HTC under strict design instructions from Google.
3. There’s mounting speculation that Spotify could make its delayed US launch via the Nexus One, coming pre-installed as an app on the phone.
4. The phone also has its own built Stereo FM radio with RDS.
5. Unlike the iPhone, the Nexus One’s 5 mega pixel camera boasts a flash and also features mechanical auto focus.
6. The handset has a super bright 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED touch screen display that’s slightly larger than its Apple rival.
7. The phone is expected to be priced at $530 (£328) SIM-free when it goes on sale in the States, with a UK launch expected later in the year.
8. One snazzy feature of the phone are "live wallpapers" – animated background images that move subtly as you write a text messages or look through your contacts.
9. As well as touch screen controls, the phone also features four hardware buttons and a Blackberry-style rollerball for navigating menus and web pages.
10. The Nexus One only comes with a 4GB SD card in the box for storing files, but this can be expanded to 32 GB with a larger capacity card.
