How Far Has The Nexus Line Come? Watch This Video To Find Out

It doesn’t seem like all the long ago that I was trying to find a way to justify spending $600 on the Nexus One.  I was the owner of the wonderful HTC Dream but had just seen the Nexus One in person for the first time.  I was immediately impressed with the speed and the design and tried to figure out how I could secure $600 as fast as possible.  Ultimately I held off purchasing the device but I did end up snagging one used for a little over $100 years later.  Sadly it was stolen from me….still such a sad day in this bloggers history.

Again, it doesn’t seem like that long ago that the first Nexus device came to market but things have come a long long way, both in the Nexus project and in Android as a whole.  The guys over at PhoneBuff have put together this little video to show just how far things have come since the Nexus One.  In the video, they showcase all 5 Nexus phones side by side and show the speed difference in boot up, loading a game, and web browsing.  Obviously the Nexus 5 wins out every time but the Nexus 4 still performs very well.  Even the Galaxy Nexus keeps up pretty well with it’s successors.

The crazy part for me is to think that just a few years ago I thought that the Nexus One was so fast and was ready to shell out $600 for it!  Obviously things have come a long long way.  And to be fair to the Nexus One, I still love the device and it will remain one of my all time favourite phones.

Which Nexus device was your all time favourite?
