Nexus is Google 's smartphone with native Android as its operating system. Unlike most Android vendors that use third-party customized interfaces, the Nexus series has always used Google's native system. The most authentic Android is its mark, many Geek players regarded it as an Android benchmark, nicknamed " pro-son ." The original intention of Google’s launch of the Nexus series was to provide developers with a low-cost, high-quality development tester. At the same time, Nexus also led the hardware benchmarking of contemporary Android products and took the lead among the Android players.
Nexus One
Nexus One is Nexus's first generation product, which was built by HTC. As the best Android early manufacturer, HTC hosted Android for the first time in history. Not only was the world's first mobile phone equipped with an Android system, HTC also started OEM. The first son. The machine was launched in 2010 as a twin brother of the HTC classic model G7. Both have very high similarities. The machine's texture and color match are very similar. The Nexus One is the first mobile phone to have a touch-sensitive design. Previously, mobile phones mostly retained physical buttons and full keyboards. The Nexus One is Google's first step toward full-touch design. As Google's pro son, Nexus configuration at that time was still very good, with a 3.7-inch screen resolution of 480 × 800, the display effect is very outstanding, to know that the iPhone 3GS was only 320 × 480 resolution.
Nexus S
With the development and expansion of the Android camp, Google's second-generation pro sons no longer use HTC OEM, but turned to Google, another important partner of Samsung. The Nexus S was equipped with the latest Android 2.3 system at the time, and was equipped with a 4.0-inch Super AMOLED screen and was equipped with NFC for the first time. The first time you can experience the advantages of the latest Android system is demonstrated in the second generation of your own son.
Galaxy Nexus
Galaxy Nexus is the third generation of its own son. Galaxy Nexus is slightly different in name from its other relatives. It is named after Galaxy and it has another name called Samsung i9250. The relationship with the Galaxy series is "intimate." As the first mobile phone to carry Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, this phone can be said to open the door to the new era of Android. Before 4.0, Android's "completion level" was a bit worse, but after stepping into 4.0, Android has made great progress, a new user interface, and improved features such as multi-tasking, notifications, etc., Android is more beautiful and easy to use. In addition to his son's own characteristics, the Galaxy Nexus also allowed his first son to have a physical appearance. His white Panda version was welcomed by users.
Nexus 4
As the two sides changed hands and time and space, after the two generations of their own sons and sisters had cooperated with Samsung, their pro-sons replaced it again. This time it was the LG, Apple's screen supplier. If Galaxy Nexus is to lead Android into the right path, then Nexus 4 has become the benchmark of all Android manufacturers. It has brought us the famous Google Now, Android 4.2 system, it has brought us the famous Google Now. Google Now is also the main selling point.
The 4.7-inch 1280x768 screen, Corning Gorilla 2nd generation glass, Snapdragon S4 Pro and 2GB RAM, rear 8 megapixel camera and support for wireless charging, Nexus 4 is already very close to what we use today. In addition to its benchmarking in hardware configuration, the Nexus 4 is the most pro-faced son. Its bright back cover is very beautiful. It is beautiful both black and white. What's slightly regrettable is that the Nexus 4's fever is more obvious, and it has the title of "the king of refrigerators."
Nexus 5
The good reputation brought by Nexus 4 quickly raised the popularity of LG. Google also chose to continue to cooperate with LG to launch its own son. Nexus 5 was released in October 2013 and powered by the Android 4.4 Kitkat system. Although the system version number is still 4.XX, 4.4 is a major update to Android. The emergence of 4.4 also allows Android to get rid of the "cards that have been mocked by Apple for years." Dayton issue.
In addition to the system-level updates, the hardware configuration of the Nexus 5 has also reached the top level. The Snapdragon 800, 2G RAM, and 4.95-inch 1080P screen at 2.3GHz all have a qualitative leap compared to the Nexus 4. At the same time, the Nexus 5 also maintains a very high price/performance ratio of its pro-son series, coupled with a good shape, Nexus 5 is the highest-selling model of the pro son series so far, if you can still see Nexus in the street 5 Do not be surprised.
Nexus 6
With Google’s acquisition of Motorola, its own son has not accidentally “falled into†Motorola's hand. Nexus has also changed its image of high cost-effectiveness and turned to attack the high-end market. The Nexus 6 evolved from the second generation of the Moto X and further expanded on the basis of the Moto X II generation. The screen reached an exaggerated 5.96-inch screen and adopted a 2K resolution screen with the Snapdragon 805 and 3GB of memory. Although the hardware configuration was at the top of the time, the Nexus 6 was not a very good model. Its AMOLED screen was too low in brightness, and the battery life was not satisfactory. Together with the high price, the Nexus 6 was worthy. The most unpopular pro son. However, the pro-son is a pro-son after all, and the Nexus 6 is still the first model equipped with Android 5.0 Lollipop. It is worth mentioning that after the acquisition of Motorola by Lenovo, Nexus 6 launched the Continental version under the name of Moto X Pro, which is also considered a misfortune.
Nexus 5X
After experiencing the failure of Nexus 6, Google adjusted its pro-son product line strategy. This time, Google also launched two parent sons, LG OEM Nexus 5X and Huawei OEM Nexus 6P. The success of Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 has helped LG accumulate a good reputation. It is not surprising that pro-sons are returning to LG. Not to mention that Google has already sold Motorola. As a successor to the Nexus 5, the Nexus 5X returned to the 5-inch screen, using a 5.2-inch 1080P screen, with the Snapdragon 808 and 2G RAM, with a 2700mAh battery, and everything was just fine. In addition to the rational hardware configuration, Nexus 5X also made up for the short-board "no photo" of the pro son. It is equipped with a 12.3 million pixel IMX377 sensor (Nexus 6P also uses the IMX377), a large 1.55 micron pixel area. The new generation of sons has a very good imaging effect.

The machine uses a combination of Snapdragon 810 + 3G memory to ensure that the pro son also has top performance. This is the first time that the Chinese manufacturers have found their own sons.
