Design
A good-looking 4.6-inch, 2-pound black orb, the Nexus Q has a ring of LEDs around its diagonal equator and a single LED on the top of its axis from that equator. The LEDs change color to let you know what the device is doing, and for fun, the LEDs also cycle in time with the music you're playing. The top hemisphere of the orb spins to change the Nexus Q's volume, but otherwise there are no physical controls.

You need to use an Android smartphone or tablet to control the Nexus Q. Without it, the Q will only show a welcome screen with a drawing of the device and the URL for Google's Nexus website on your HDTV. Of course, even after you set up the Nexus Q, it won't show anything besides the volume level, any YouTube or Google Play video you stream from your phone, or the visualizer for any music you're playing. The device can easily work without any HDTV at all, putting sound through a home theater system or powering its own stereo speakers with its built-in 25-watt amp.
Hardware
It’s a two-pound beast, if you’re thinking about carrying it around, but since it’s designed to remain stationary – it doesn’t really matter how much it weighs. It’s also a sphere, or nearly a sphere, this allowing the Nexus Q to look and feel completely unique in a tech world saturated with rectangles and squares in the living room. The Nexus Q has a ring of LED lights around its center, this lovely display of color showing you the status of the device as well as indicating when its being touched.
