We have been talking about Google Phone (Nexus One) for the past 3 day. But, still we are unclear on its specs (expect few). Couple things we know, it has a super fast Processes (Snapdragon) and running on Android 2.1 OS.

One of our source gone through all the library files and various other system files from the Nexus One ROM and got the following details.

  • Proximity Sensor/Light Sensor: Capella CM3602 per sensors.mahimahi.so in Nexus One ROM Dump.
  • Accelerometer: BMA150 3-axis Accelerometer per sensors.mahimahi.so in Nexus One ROM Dump.
  • Magnetic Compass:  AK8973 3-axis Magnetic field sensor/AK8973 Orientation sensor per sensors.mahimahi.so in Nexus One ROM Dump.
  • Wi-Fi Radio / Blue-Tooth / FM: BCM4329 in lib/modules
  • In libaudio.so found “Routing audio to Speakerphone with back mic” reference.
  • In libaudio.so found “Stereo FM speaker” also referenced.
  • Audience A1026 Noise Canceling Chip – No link but here is the A1024 found in libaudio.so
  • Qualcomm QSD8K Specific hardware libs in lib/hw (QSD8250 Probably)
  • Adreno 200 Graphics Core with OpenGLES 2.0 – Part of Snapdragon?

We are interested mostly in the BCM4329 as it has support for 802.11n and FM Tx and Rx. We are not sure 802.11n would really be necessary, but it’s good to know it’s there, just in case someone wants exploit that. I did see a screen shot not too long ago of the Motorola Sholes with an FM software app in Android, so that is a possibility.

That part was all about its hardware. Now, from other source we go to know that..

1.) Google Phone is going to be $199, subsidized by Google. That is pretty game changing from a cell phone sales perspective. Sounds like Google is going to make a big push to get a good Android handset into as many people’s hands as possible.

2.) They are apparently working on some new 3D UI elements for Android.

3.) GSM at first, CDMA version will follow.

Here is little Boot Animated Video of Android 2.1
