The Ultimate Google Android Comparison.

Google's first phone, built like the pre-smartphone era devices, and most would agree it wasn't quite good enough.

A big step forward from the G1, with a slimmer body and no physical keyboard.

Aggressive design, top-tier specs for its time and a plain Google software experience.

A beastly phone and a flying start for Nexus, held back only by poor sales from the sell-direct model.

Liked the redesigned hinge but skipped it as it wasn't a Google launch device.

A completely new Samsung-built phone that fixed the Nexus One's mistake by being sold in stores.

Best of Samsung and Google, well rounded apart from a mediocre camera, and cheaper than its predecessor.

Affordable, glass-backed and the first completely lag-free Android phone, which he instantly loved.

A nice iterative upgrade with a god-tier chip at an affordable price, held back by its camera.

Great software, but too big, bulky and expensive after a huge price jump.

Price-constrained with a 1080p LCD, but a good chip and clean software at $379 made people happy.

Polarising Futurama-like design, but a better signal, Google's best camera yet and more manageable than the Nexus 6.

The first Google-made phone with HDR+ was a leap in computational photography, though sales started slowly.

Nicer materials, front-facing speakers and a better camera, though sales were still modest.

Incredible standard photos and Night Sight, but unbalanced with weak video, zoom, ultra wide, battery and storage.

Not Google's most competitive phone, but he loves the matte design direction.
