The editors liked
The interface looks and feels great. I really want the promise of Android TV to be realized
Because there's a lot of potential here
It's pretty damn cool that you can voice search for any actor
Director
Or series and get a list of films and their cast
The editors didn't like
Google didn't get it together before launch. The software doesn't feel remotely complete. It didn't get partners to properly integrate their apps with the platform's most intriguing features
Like recommendations and voice search. It didn't do a great job

Attractive design. Intuitive interface. Google Play Store integration. Game and gamepad support.
Anemic app selection. Choppy performance. Inconsistent and limited voice search
Google's Nexus Player is a functional-enough media hub that simply falls flat when held up against its more polished competitors....

The Google Nexus Player Android TV streaming box offers good conversational voice search from the included physical remote. If you use your smartphone or tablet to Cast compatible apps, it provides access to most important services. It delivers Android ga
At launch, native app selection is abysmal compared with that of Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV. The interface seems designed to push users toward Google's media services, and voice search doesn't yet include major third-party apps like Netflix or Hulu
Until it receives a major infusion of native apps and developer support, and better integrates non-Google services, the Nexus Player with Android TV offers no compelling upgrade over other streaming devices....
Responsive performance, Some great apps and games available, Smar, user-friendly interface
Limited app selection, Can't customize navigation, Hit-or-miss casting and mirroring features
The Google Nexus Player performs well and delivers a good combination of content and games, but it needs more apps. The set-top boxes, streaming sticks and game consoles on the market today are all about compromises. You can get more than a tho...
Attractive aesthetics all around, Great gaming controller and remote, Googlecast integration is a big plus
Connections drop often (wifi, controllers, etc), Limited storage space, Limited games and apps, Software experience just doesn't feel fully polished just yet
5.0 The Nexus Player, and Android TV platform in general, have tons of potential and we're really excited to see where Google takes it. Unfortunately, we just aren't there yet, between a limited library and software quirks, I find myself going back to Chr...

Pretty, intuitive interface, Voice search can be really powerful, It's a Chromecast
Not nearly enough apps or games yet, Best features only work with Google apps for now, Some quirky software bugs
More times than not, the Verge score is based on the average of the subscores below. However, since this is a non-weighted average, we reserve the right to tweak the overall score if we feel it doesn't reflect our overall assessment and price of the produ...
Voice search is simple and intuitive, Simple card-based interface, Google Cast gives it Chromecast-like features
Limited storage, Search results are limited to Google-related content sources, Buggy software, Chintzy remote, No Ethernet port
The Nexus Player is a great, if imperfect, introductory showcase for Android TV. It doesn't have an Ethernet port and suffers from a few bugs, but Android TV's simple interface, intelligent voice search and Google Cast abilities more than make up for it....

Nice compact form factor, Dual-band Wi-Fi, Controller is pretty nice
No Ethernet, Limited Storage, Sometimes ‘jittery' playback on Games, Google Casting sometimes gets ‘weird', Hardware
The Nexus Player is a Nexus device, so naturally it's a must buy for me. It's also the first Android TV device on the market and with no details from Sony or Razer on when their SmartTVs or set-top box are expected to arrive on our shores – if an Android ...

As far as games go, the Nexus Player suffers the same problem of having a limited library. You're not, for example, going to go out and buy Sword & Sworcery EP and start playing the celebrated indie title on your TV...
Potencia y estabilidad, Resolución a 1080p, Buena calidad reproduciendo vídeo, Mando a distancia BT bien integrado, Android TV se adapta perfectamente a la TV, Buen Wifi a 5GHz,
El sistema Android TV aún tiene que evolucionar, Poca personalización del entorno, Faltan ajustes de vídeo y audio, Solo admite sonido estéreo, El mando BT tiene un tacto algo tosco,
Como podemos ver el Nexus Player nos ofrece un hardware por parte de ASUS bastante interesante que junto al sistema Android TV nos da una experiencia solida para ver contenidos streaming en nuestra TV, pero por otro lado el sistema tiene limitaciones inco...
