Nexus Q gets torn down, reveals foreign parts

Google recently announced their media streaming player, the Nexus Q. Dubbed the world’s first social streaming media player, the Nexus Q streams your favourite entertainment directly from the cloud to your living room. The one thing Google mentioned while unveiling the Nexus Q was that it was a device ‘Made in America’, however a teardown by iFixit shows that the Nexus Q has parts from China, Germany, the United Kingdom and others. For example, the optical out port was made in Japan. The tear down also revealed that the device feels like a bowling ball, owing to the heavy base. The Q features many small parts and though it may be easy to take it apart, putting everything back together takes some amount of time and care.
