Details are now leaking out about the Google Nexus smartphone — and as you can see from the chart below, it’s not only gunning for the title of “iPhone Killer du jour,” but wouldn’t mind knocking the newly-hot-and-hip Motorola Droid off its perch.
F’rinstance, it’s got twice as much RAM right out of the gate as either phone (with the option to add perhaps as much as 32GB of Micro SD memory — take THAT, Uncle Steve!). It also offers the Android OS, Wi-Fi on the 802.11n band, a 5 mexapixel camera with flash, a bigger screen, and both softkeys and a trackball. Expect it to run on T-Mobile 3G (and possibly AT&T, via EDGE).
Just don’t expect to own one immediately upon the rumored January 5, 2010 release date; word is that the first batch will become available by “invitation only.”

The Nexus looks very cool but there are some things missing on the Droid side of that chart. For instance the Droid also has a proximity sensor and 2 light sensors. It also has physical buttons for power and volume which aren’t noted. There are a few other things there as well but you get the idea.
There’s many Droid features missing on the chart. Hardly an accurate comparison. The only benefits I see are the processor, RAM and trackball
wow, this chart is missing ALOT of information on the droid, let me fill it in…
cell tower and wi-fi positioning
digital compass-must be downloaded but available
physical power key
physical volume up and down key
haptic feedback
microphone
proximity sensor
light sensor
*not sure about audio specs but certainly more then shown*
add-multicolor led for notifications
I guess there is some Nexus One bias on this article since purposely a LOT of info is missing from this chart for the Droid, also for the iPhone.
Droid important differentiator , Physical Keyboard is not mentioned as well. Nexus specs are comparable but don’t see any big physical improvements over Droid.
wow… the chart is missing a lot of Droid’s features… it comes with a 16gb Micro SD, it has dual processors (CPU and GPU), it DOES have the compass that’s been left blank, it has a proximity sensor, it has cell tower triangulation just like the Nexus and iPhone…
This article is useless with so many missing facts. I love Android, it’s far superior to iPhone, but an article with so much misinformation can’t be trusted.
I used the droid for 1day and it started to fall apart lol pos
You forgot to include the 16 Gig SD that comes with the Droid
The article doesn’t list the Storage RAM that are used for apps. The only article I have read that lists the Storage RAM for apps and explains WHY it is important can be found here: http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2009/11/21/inside-googles-android-and-apples-iphone-os-as-software-markets/
The RAM comparison chart can be found here: http://images.appleinsider.com/iphoneandroid112109.003.png
Yea, obviously there is somebody trying to build hype for the nexus, because your right.. more than half of the droid specs that show it as pretty much equal to the nexus are left completely blank! If your going to do a spec comparison, at least be honest about it for crying out loud! One example is the blatant leaving out of the light sensor.. the droid has that and just about 90% of every other one of the nexus’s specs.
Yea, ok.. we believe u.. hahahaha. I’ve had mine for over a month and its the greatest thing I’ve ever played with! And sturdy as a prize steer.. it will become the next biggest phone, dethroning the iphone.. but they all get dethroned eventually, so one day the droid will be topped, too. But as long as that keeps happening, we the consumer ultimitely win. Until then, hail to the new king Droid! At once sire… hahaha
This article is an EPIC FAIL!!!!!
There are missing specs on both the Droid and iPhone……
Wow you got so many things wrong here it’s hard to know where to start. First, the screen is 3.7 inches not 4.3, the battery is supposedly 1400mAh, is does NOT have muti-touch, there is no info on the 720p video recording. Still, better hardware than the current iPhone by far.
Lean Muscle;
It DOES have multi-touch in the hardware.
The table is very wrong!
The iPhone also has “Celltower and Wifi positioning”, “Physicaly PowerKey and Volume Up / Down Key”
hahaha even a “sim card slot” hahaha how else can it work??
Light Sensor “, it has also !and and and and….
I’m sorry but you can throw away the table!
how embarrassing!!
more battery life info would be helpful.
MASSIVE confusion of specs. Many are listed twice, and a great deal are in the wrong category.
How do we know nothing was left out?
An Epic Fail for certain.
This is a bias comparison. Starting from the location category, scroll down quickly to notice that extensive description is in the nexus’s boxes, while the iphone and the Droid are almost empty. This does show the bias of this study. the reason is that those products are competitors. only slight differences should be noticeable.
trying to make cellphones better than iphones but i dont think so! apple still wins best technology worldwide so far!
This guy must have been high while writing this.
