Google on Wednesday revealed its new Nexus line of products including the new Nexus 6 smartphone and Nexus 9 tablet running the brand new Android 5.0 Lollipop. The company also introduced the Nexus Player, a set-top streaming box.
Built by Asus in partnership with Google, the Nexus Player is Google's first Android TV device and is also accompanied by a gamepad controller that will be sold separately and has been engineered for fine-tuned control of Android games. Nexus Player comes with a voice-activated remote.
The search engine giant has confirmed that the Nexus Player will be available for pre-order starting October 17 without officially revealing the price of the product.
However, Re/Code reports that the new Nexus Player has been priced at $99 (roughly Rs. 6,000) while the gamepad controller will be available at $39 (roughly Rs. 2,400). A Bluetooth-controlled remote will also be bundled. The report also claims that the new set-top streaming box from Google will go on sale starting November 3, much like the Google Nexus 9.
Google touts the device is a "streaming media player for movies, music and videos."
The Google Nexus Player includes 8GB of inbuilt storage and comes with HDMI and Micro-USB connectivity options. The device also supports Wi-Fi 802.11ac 2x2 (MIMO) and Bluetooth 4.1. It weighs 235 grams and comes with dimensions 120x120x20mm.
