Google Nexus Q Successor Passes Through FCC: Media Player to Support Bluetooth

|

In 2012, Google introduced a device called the Nexus Q, a spherical media player which could play audio and video from sources like Youtube or Google Play by connecting to TV or speakers. The device was made available for pre-order on Play Store at $299. However, it was quickly discontinued and was given away as a freebie to people who had pre-ordered for it. Besides, Google pushed an update to their Google Music app which meant compatibility issues with the Nexus Q.
