The Final iPhone 3GS Vs Nexus One Spec Smackdown

Specs aren’t everything, but for those of you obsessed with them instead of only caring about what you actually like about a gadget, here’s the latest spec smackdown between the Apple iPhone and the HTC Nexus One.

Do I care about specs? No, not really. I don’t give a damn about how many more triangles per second my mobile phone can do. I care about how fun the games or how useful and polished the apps are. I don’t care that the screen is made of jam and has higher resolution. I enjoy that it reads well under the sun and that it’s accurate. I don’t pay attention to megahertz. I just want it to feel zippy. In other words: Who cares about the specs. Get whatever feels right to you and fits your needs. [iFixIt]

    thats interesting about the 3gs gfx chip being more powerful. tho measuring in triangles per sec is a bit random. should measure in fill rate.

    I had my shattered screen replaced in my nexus one for $60 so I am not sure where your figures come from?

    In other words, the author has an iPhone, not an N1 ;)
