Who knew? Even though up there I have a banner explaining the Nexus One, I didn’t know about this myself! iFixit (as usual) has teardowned the poor Nexus One to pieces and made 2 interesting discoveries. One, according to the Google spec page, the N1 has a 802.11n Wi-Fi transmitter, even though HTC only lists it as 802.11b/g. Two, there’s an FM transmitter as well. Other things of interest found is a Samsung-branded OLED display, Qualcomm QSD8250 “Snapdragon” 1 GHz ARM processor, Synaptics touchscreen controller. Then there’s the Broadcom chip labeled Broadcom BCM4329EKUBG, which is what provides Wi-Fi to the Nexus One. Hit the source link for the full teardown.
