Important news in the Nvidia house that arrive practically at the same time and we have gathered in a single post. On the one hand, the Tablet Shield recibe Android Marshmallow and support for the Vulkan API. On the other hand, it has transcended the passage of a team from the firm through a US regulatory body and we could have new tablet in this same 2016. We give you all the details below.
For many users, the Nvidia Tablet Shield has become a kind of successor to the Nexus 7 never had. On the one hand, it has a specially tuned processor in the graphics section, on the other, it is a device with a relatively pure version of Android and a very balanced price for its high potential. Thus, the novelties of the processor manufacturer have awakened a great interest, for some time now, in a specific user profile.
Tablet Shield receiving Android 6.0 Marshmallow
The first of the tablet models that Envy launched is already updating to Android Marshmallow and important new features are being integrated in the process. Perhaps the most notable is the support for the new Vulkan API, which will substantially improve the performance of Nvidia hardware.
Android 6.0 It has also brought other changes, such as the repositioning of the buttons to landscape mode, new emojis, a double press on the power button to launch the tablet's camera and a "do not disturb until the next alarm" option. We also have, of course, Pickups, to improve consumption, a new security patch and stability improvements, as well as a solution to different bugs that could affect some users of the device.
New Tablet Shield passes through the FCC
What is clearly a new Nvidia device, somewhat smaller, although it would keep the 8 inches, has been registered with a major US regulatory body, the FCC.
At the moment, we only have a schematic reproduction of its front part in which some of its components are indicated. We cannot give more details on other types of technical issues, however, the most logical thing is that we already see a processor in it Tegra X1, maybe the RAM a little expanded (3-4GB) and who knows if also a Quad HD screen. We will have to wait a little longer before getting an accurate idea, however, they are good news for fans of this Nvidia product line.
