According to These are the Droids, a list of the hardware found in the Nexus One phone was discovered by gaining access to the library files and various other system files. Early indications show that the specs for the Nexus One are fairly decent, to say the least.
Upon discovering these hardware references in the ROM system files on the Nexus One, it was discovered that the phone will support a Snapdragon processor, developed by Qualcomm. The Snapdragon is an ARM-based CPU processor, offering up to 1Ghz for applications, with a cellular modem and GPS.
Some other features discovered in the library include:
- A proximity sensor/light sensor, similar to that on the iPhone
- 3-axis accelerometer
- 3-axis magnetic compass
- WiFi radio / Bluetooth / FM radio
- Noise canceling chip
- Adreno 200 graphics core with OpenGLES 2.0
- Camera – including auto focus, flash, white balance, anti-banding, and an LED flash
The Nexus One is also said to support 802.11n WiFi, be 3G compatible, just like the Motorola Droid. Google employees even uploaded photos to Picasa, and based on the uploaded photos, the supported camera is at least a 5MP camera with auto-focus and LED flash.
Pictures of the Nexus One leaked earlier this week, revealing that it will be supporting Android 2.1, with some unrevealed features.
