Next-gen NVIDIA Shield tablet leaked by the FCC?

05/12/2016 at 1:15 PM by Brad Linder Leave a Comment

NVIDIA launched an 8 inch Android tablet designed for gaming in 2014. Then the company re-launched the tablet with a new name, but similar specs (and a lower price tag) in late 2015.

Now it looks like a new NVIDIA Shield tablet is on the way. Maybe this time NVIDIA will put a new chip in the tablet.

An unannounced NVIDIA tablet showed up at the FCC website this week.

While the FCC documents are light on specs, here’s what we do know:

  • It supports 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz 802.11ac WiFi.
  • The tablet has a micro USB port.
  • There’s Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy support.
  • The tablet measures 8.6″ x 4.8″ x 0.3″ and weighs 12.3 ounces.

The tablet’s model number if P2290W.

Last year’s Shield K1 Tablet had an 8 inch, 1920 x 1200 pixel display, an NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage. It was also a tiny bit bulkier, measuring 8.7″ x 5″ x 0.4″ and weighing 12.6 ounces.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the new model had a Tegra X1 chip and more memory… but those are just guesses.

An interesting turn of events just a week from I/O. Will be curious to see if it comes with Android N. So many devices launching now with M while Google is on the verge of the next version.

That’s just a Google thang. I’ve had an Android phone since Nov 2009 w/the OG Moto Droid. Having the new OS has never been a strong factor for Android unless you’re rockin’ a Nexus device. It’s sad, but true. That’s one of the few kudos I’ll give to Apple & it’s OS releases. However, Apple has full control over that subject while Google doesn’t. I wish they did.

Unlikely, but if the last two Shields are an example, it should get it fairly swiftly. Few months or so. (Which yes is swift in Android land :p)

Actually in the auto thing (Drive PX2) there is an unannounced Tegra so it would make sense to go with this one not the X1. All we know is that it has 2x Denver, 4xA57 and Pascal GPU and would likely be on 16ff – it makes no sense to spend on doing Pascal on an older process.

Based on the K1 it seems Nvidia is aiming to keep costs down, which means the Shield tablet will always ship with previous gen CPUs. At $200 it’s the best value for money on the market.

No no and no.
The current Shield is not even close to great value, low res, bulky and slow. It;s 2 years old (that’s why the k1) and it wasn’t great at any point during its life.
It wasn’t aimed at the value segment either, it launched at 299$ and the price dropped over time.
X1 is too slow on the CPU side for today even if they don’t clock it lower than in the Pixel C.
Additionally it doesn’t make any sense to have a new chip and not use it, they would make less money, on purpose and it would be much harder to justify developing the new chip.

Depends on what you’re using it for. I wanted a tablet with gigantic onboard adoptable storage and an HD screen. $199 + a $99 128 GB SD card later, I have a 144 GB tablet for $289, which blows everything else on the market out of the water.

Also, the K1 is a separate model from the original Shield, as the former’s hardware specs are a subset of the latter’s and Nvidia updates both separately . It did premiere at $199, not $299.

I like the idea of a new shield tablet, but I also want to see a 10″ shield tablet before I purchase one. They MIGHT have me if they included something newer than the X1 though.

EXACTLY! The Shield TV w/X1 debuted May 28th last year. That chip has been out for a year. I’d like to see an upgrade/successor to the X1.

I wish they’d just adopt CyanogenMod as the stock Nvidia Shield software – although lightweight – is janky AF. My K1 is supposedly faster than my S5, but the latter runs CM13 Nightly and routinely trounces it in daily use with the same amount of RAM and storage.

I am disappointed in the performance of my Nvidia Shield K1. It is extremely laggy, it hangs/freezes way too often for a premium tablet. My Samsung Note5 absolutley SMOKES the Nvidia. Even for in-game performance. I can watch movies and listen to Spotify, my heaven help me if I task-switch.
