It was back in 2010 that Google launched its Nexus program with the Nexus One. Since then, the Nexus smartphone has gone through quite a transformation, not only getting bigger as screen sizes grew but also losing its physical buttons and the microSD card slot. It culminates (for now) with the Google Nexus 5 announced this week. The animated GIF below shows you (quickly) how the Nexus smartphone has changed since the Nexus One:
The Google Nexus One came with a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapradon QSD 8250 processor and Google Android 2.1. It had a 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen display, 512MB of RAM and 512MB of onboard storage, a microSD card slot (!!!), a 5MP rear-facing camera and a 1,400mAh battery.
Just over three years later, we have a device powered by a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and Android 4.4 KitKat. It also comes with a 4.95-inch Full HD (1080 1920/445PPI) Corning Glass 3 display, 2GB of RAM, 16 or 32GB of onboard storage, an 8MP rear camera with OIS, a 1.3MP camera and a 2,300mAh battery.
Quite an impressive evolution!
