Kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo, besithetha kakhulu kwaye bekukho intelekelelo malunga ne-smartphone UAndy Rubin wayesebenza kuyo, i-smartphone awayibanga ingayindawo esele iyinxalenye kwihlabathi lobuchwepheshe. Kodwa njengoko sinokubona ngoMeyi ophelileyo, umhla owawunikwe ngawo ngokusesikweni, iFowuni ebalulekileyo ayibonakalisi nantoni na, kuba sisiphelo esifana nesinokuyifumana ngoku kwintengiso, nescreen phantse izakhelo kunye nezixhobo zehardware ezifumaneka kwizixhobo eziphezulu eziphezulu. Ukuba bendiyikhuphe kunyaka ophelileyo, bekuzakukhala enye inkuku.
Kodwa, ukongeza ekuphoxekeni okubangelwe yile fowuni kwicandelo lobuchwephesha, kufuneka songeze ixabiso, ixabiso eliphakame kakhulu kulonto ibinikezela ngayo njenge-novice kule ndima, iidola ezingama-699 kunye neerhafu. Ukuba uceba ukuya eUnited States kwaye ucacile ukuba esi sisiphelo sakho, unethamsanqa, kuba inkampani iye yalinciphisa ixabiso layo ngama- $ 200, ishiya i- $ 499 kuphela. Kwaye nditsho ukuya eUnited States, kuba okwangoku asazi ukuba iza kuphehlelelwa nini eYurophu, ukumiliselwa kwithiyori ecwangcisiweyo ukwenza njalo ngokusebenzisa abaqhubi.
Oku kuncitshiswa kwamaxabiso kukhuthazwa ukuthengisa okuphantsi kwesi sigxina eMelika, i-terminal engalunganga, kodwa eye yalibaziseka ixesha elininzi, ebangele ukuba xa ibonakala kwintengiso, yayingengomnyango wangaphambili, kodwa kungenxa yenkonzo enye. Bonke abathengi esele bethembekile esi siginali baya kufumana itsheki ye- $ 200, yokuchitha kwizinto zefowuni ebalulekileyo okanye ekuthengeni kwesinye isiphelo sendlela.
Ngaphakathi kweFowuni ebalulekileyo sifumana iprosesa yeQualcomm Snapdragon 835, ehamba ne-4 GB ye-RAM kunye ne-128 GB yokugcina kwangaphakathi. Isikrini, kunye nefomathi ye-18: 9, inee-intshi ezingama-5,71 kwaye ilawulwa yi-Adreno 540 GPU. Inguqulelo yeBluetooth yi-5.0 kwaye ilawulwa yi-Android N. Ngasemva, sifumana ikhamera ye-13 mpx kabini kunye ne-8 mpx ngaphambili.
