The Nexus One was developed by HTC under close supervision by Google, folks at iFixit wanted to see what kind of Google magic lay inside the device, so they took it apart. More pictures after the break and let’s see what’s iFixit views toward this Nexus One.

iFixit:

- The 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor is quite speedy. We had a Motorola Droid on-hand for comparison, and it seemed to us that everything went a bit more smoothly on the Nexus One — at least before we took it apart.

- The unbelievably easy task of removing the plastic rear cover gives access to the replaceable battery. Hey Apple, take notes!

- This phone is very nicely put together and has no visible screws.
Yet, we were able to remove the battery cover, unscrew three screws, and take off the battery holder frame. Depending on the part, the phone can certainly be user-serviceable.

- It’s quite a colorful phone on the inside. HTC/Google was nice enough to include greens, yellows, oranges, dark grays, and all sorts of other colors inside the Nexus One.

- Nexus One chip winners include Qualcomm, Broadcom, Skyworks, TI, Samsung, Synaptics, Atmel, and Audience.

- The 3.7-inch (diagonal) WVGA AMOLED touchscreen is made by Samsung, the same screen supplier as for Microsoft’s Zune HD.

- Qualcomm is certainly the chip winner for the Nexus One, having three of the largest-profile chips in the device: processor, power management chip, and RF transceiver.

- The 802.11n capability gives the Nexus an advantage over the iPhone 3GS, which only has 802.11g. The Broadcom BCM4329 chip in the Nexus is the same chip found in Apple’s newest (3rd generation) iPod touch, and also has Bluetooth and FM transceiver functionality.
