It was expected that the device will go on sale in the United States at a price of $ 299 apiece. However, the launch was delayed due to user feedback on the lack of functionality of the Nexus Q [3] . In October 2012, when Google announced the Nexus 4 and Nexus 10, the project was unofficially closed.
