Google Nexus One Reviews

By Dena Cassella January 5, 2010

There has been a lot of hype over the first “Google phone,” the Nexus One. But, just like you, we have to ask is this new smartphone all it’s cracked up to be? There seem to be some pretty consistent opinions floating around the Web from those lucky folks who got their hands on a prerelease Nexus One. Michael Arrington of TechCrunch reported in his review of the device that he had been using it since mid-December and was quite impressed. Most reviewers acknowledge it as the best Android device on the market, while some others (few and far between) describe it as another mediocre attempt to topple the iPhone. So if you’re thinking about getting your hands on Google’s new Nexus One smartphone here are the latest expert reviews of the device.

Tech Crunch’s Michael Arrington describes the Nexus One as “the best Android powered phone to date,” praising it for its speed and design. Check out TechCrunch’s review

Fox News claims the Nexus One is a great phone, and although it is the most comparible to the iPhone, it still doesn’t boast any must-have features. Check out FoxNews.com’s review

Gizmodo shares common views with Arrington, claiming that it’s probably the best Android phone to date, but they are calling it the “Droid-killer” rather than iPhone-killer. Check out Gizmodo’s hands-on review.

Engadget was awed by the Nexus One’s design and power, but says the new Google phone is not without faults. Check out Engadget’s review.

Tech Republic calls the Nexus One “promising,” but unfortunately they don’t agree with Google’s push of it as “super.” Check out Tech Republic’s review

The Pixel 7a would be better if Google brought back this brilliant accessory

The Google Pixel 7a is a great little phone, and Google makes some colorful protective cases to keep it safe. I’ve been using one since getting the phone, but it has made me really miss a product that Google seems to have forgotten about: the fabric phone case. What we’ve got for the Pixel 7a (and the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro), is an admittedly durable, but really irritating silicone case. What it does is hammer home it’s time for Google to bring back the fabric one.

Google’s silicone case for the Pixel 7a will definitely protect your phone. It wraps around the sides and has a slight lip at the edge of the screen, so even if you put it face-down on a table, it’ll keep it relatively safe. The Google logo on the back has a swish brushed finish, and the buttons are separate from the case, giving them more feel and precision than if they were part of the silicone mold.

Don’t buy the Pixel Tablet; get this cheaper Android tablet instead

The market for Android tablets appears to be sinking, but the likes of the Pixel Tablet may have some role in salvaging it. The Pixel Tablet, launched last week -- exactly a year after it was first unveiled -- marks Google's reentry into the tablet segment after almost a decade.

While this development may help bring more manufacturers onto the scene, Google itself feels shy about making big claims about performance and productivity. Instead, the Pixel Tablet is projected as a mere hybrid upgrade to the Nest Hub and Nest Hub Max.

Google Pixel 7a vs. Pixel 7: don’t buy the wrong Pixel

Google's A-series smartphones have been a bright spot in the midrange market for a few years now, and the Google Pixel 7a is the latest in that line. This newest update supercharges the Pixel A, adding the Google Tensor Gen 2 processor, a 90Hz refresh rate, and the highest megapixel couny ever seen on a Pixel A smartphone. But those upgrades come at a price, and that has translated into a slightly higher cost for the new Pixel 7a of $499.

It's a relatively modest increase for the specs boost on offer -- but it does mean the Pixel 7a has moved to just $100 away from its bigger sibling, the Pixel 7. Priced at $599, the Pixel 7's flagship specs mean it's a tough competitor for the new Pixel 7a to beat. It also means you're presented with a difficult choice when it comes to buying a reasonably priced Pixel. Should you buy the Google Pixel 7a or spend $100 more to grab the flagship Pixel 7? Let's find out.
