- The camera is 5MP with LED flash.
- The audio has received an upgrade. It has two microphones, one of which is used for noise cancellation.
- Customization is a key to the Nexus One. There are five home screens to cusotmize your interface.
- Google showed off some of its dynamic touchscreen features of the software.. For example, one of the wallpapers is a lake with leaves. When you touch it, it will ripple. It’s quite nifty, actually.
- They worked with the team at CoolIris to visualize photons on the Nexus One in a 3D environment. If you tap on an album, you’ll be able to quickly scan and load photos. You can also tip and dip photos based on your hand motions and the accelerometer.
