Original post

Move over Google Nexus S. if a popular technology blog is to be believed, pictures of Google Nexus 3 – the next device from the search engine giant – has already been leaked.

Is this the Google Nexus 3?

Yes, this is the supposed picture of the Google nexus 3, which was first posted by Michael Blake on TechHog. However, Michael has recently revised his article and removed the picture saying:

Sorry everyone, I’ve been politely asked to remove the information from this page regarding the 3rd Nexus. I apologize for the inconvenience.

However I will not be removing the picture till I get that polite nudge. Now looking at the Nexus 3 pic, its apparent that  the device lacks the signature Android buttons like the Search, Menu, etc. Its a good decision because the buttons were never really needed, and they became particularly obsolete with Android Honeycomb. While the HTC is a strong contender to manufacture this Google phone (since it also mentioned about porting Unlocked HTC phones) we mustn’t forget LG and its keen interest in Android or Motorola as for the matter.

In all probability the Nexus 3 will be powered by the Ice Cream Sandwich OS – the latest version of Android OS for mobiles announced recently by Google.  You can also expect a dual camera as well as a dual core processor (Samsung Galaxy S II showed us the way this year). Given most of the device shipping by the end of this year will have dual core processors powering  them, this feature is a must. Also, an amoled screen would be an icing on the cake.

Update: Michael seems to think that the picture above is possibly a test model for the Nexus 3 by HTC.

Wi-Fi

With Wi-Fi you can use your phone to connect to a local wireless network (W-LAN) to connect to the internet. This offers a cheap (sometimes free) method of connecting to the net to download emails, files, or check on your favourite website.

A-GPS

A-GPS is a network service that can locate your position to within 100 metres by using a clever technique called triangulation. By sending a signal to three cell masts, A-GPS will work out your location by the location of the cells and your distance from them. When combined with a GPS enabled phone, the addition of A-GPS enables a faster GPS satellite lock.


Email Client

The N900 Mini on Vodafone has an email client, which will allow you to receive email from your own personal email account, and send pictures, videos or text emails to any email account anywhere in the world. Email access on the phone is simple to set up and a cost effective way of keeping in touch. The N900 can support up to 10 email accounts so you’re never out of touch with the people that matter!
