The main drawback of the Google Nexus is its storage which is 8GB hence user can store only limited games on this device, however, user also has the advantage of online streaming through Google so that need not bother user much. The other drawback could be because the device does not have Ethernet, it works on Wi Fi however it seems the online streaming is better on wired connections which is typically faster and more reliable than wireless.
So for all the UK users can get Google’s Nexus Player in their living rooms as well now.
