nexus-one

A guy from These Are The Droids has spent a little time digging through the libraries found in the leaked Nexus One ROM. Here is what he has found so far:

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon libraries for QSD8K, possibly hinting on the QSD8250 chip(1GHz CPU)
  • Adreno 200 Graphics Core with OpenGL ES 2.0
  • At least a 5MP camera with auto focus and flash
  • Proximity Sensor/Light Sensor – Probably used like on the iPhone, to turn of the screen while talking
  • 3-axis Accelerometer
  • 3-axis Magnetic Compass
  • Stereo FM Speaker
  • A mic on the back
  • Audience A1026 Noise Canceling Chip
  • WiFi and Radio handled by BCM4329, a chip that is capable of WiFi b/g/n

Seems like a killer-phone so far!

The New York Times today wrote about the possible origin for the name Nexus One. According to them, the Nexus name comes from a novel called “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”, by Phillip K. Dick. The book is about Androids, and includes a bounty hunter who’s tasked to track down Nexus-6 cyborgs. This could in fact be the source for the name ‘Nexus One’, since it’s about Androids. Google yesterday filed a patent on the name, and this could lead to a lawsuit. The authors daughter is currently exploring options, on whether to sue Google or not.
