Nexus S vs Nexus One
The Nexus S vs. Nexus One are both flagship devices from Google, although the Nexus One was the hot phone a very long time ago. Actually, the Nexus One was launched around the world throughout the first half of 2010. Nevertheless, let us take a look and see what the main differences are between the two devices.
Firstly, the Nexus S has a slightly larger screen at 4.0-inches, whereas the Nexus One has a 3.7-inch screen. The Nexus One comes with Android 2.1 (now 2.2) and the Nexus S comes with Android 2.3 out of the box. Of course, the Android OS is usually upgradeable, so we would expect that eventually both devices would use the same OS version, whether by design or by user contribution.
The key differences would then be in the camera and in the onboard memory. The Nexus One, being the earlier device, has a 5-megapixel camera while the Nexus S has an 8-megapixel camera.
However, it is in the onboard memory where the Nexus S really outdoes the Nexus One. The Nexus One has 512 MBs of memory whereas the Nexus S has a whopping 16GB of memory, outdoing the earlier model by a factor of 32.
Other interesting facts about the Nexus devices
It is interesting to note that the Nexus One was manufactured by HTC of Taiwan and was at one time codenamed the HTC Passion. There is an ongoing lawsuit by Apple against HTC which involves the Nexus One.
There are two versions of the Nexus One, with the difference being in the UMTS frequencies that either version can access. The Nexus One uses a 1 GHz Qualcomm QSD 8250 processor while the Nexus S uses a 1 GHz Samsung Hummingbird S5PC110 (ARM Cortex A8) processor
The Nexus S is manufactured by Samsung of Korea and is the first Android device to support NFC in both hardware and software.
It is interesting to note that both devices started out at the same introductory price of USD 529 for an unlocked device, but it would be reasonable to expect that the Nexus One will devalue at a quicker rate than the Nexus S since the Nexus One is after all, the older model.
