  • We tried queueing up the Nexus Q with songs, but after staring at its flashy lights for awhile, we decided to do what we do best: tear the sucker down.

  • Google's glowing orb features:

  • 16 GB internal flash memory

  • 1 GB RAM

  • 32 RGB perimeter and 1 RGB mute indicator LED

  • OMAP4460 (dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU and SGX540 graphics core)

  • Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich"

  • As an added bonus, we've identified (to the best of our ability) the country of origin of each integrated circuit we found throughout the teardown.
