Gadgets : Nvidia Shield Announced, A Portable Android Gaming Console Powered By Tegra 4 With Full-Sized Controller

If you’re looking for yet another way to enjoy your mobile Android games, NVIDIA has just announced a new portable console that is worth looking at. Project SHIELD is NVIDIA’s take on the portable gaming market: it features a full-sized gaming controller, the latest version of Android and PC connectivity.

The first thing that users will notice is the new controller: it looks nothing like a mobile controller, instead it has the appearance of one you’d find on a standard gaming console, such as the PlayStation 3 or the Xbox 360. Right above it there’s a compact 5-inch multi-touch 720p high-definition display. It runs the latest version of Android, code named Jelly Bean, with all of its standard features, so aside from running all Android games, it can also work as a standard Android device. Aside from all of the everyday games available from the Play Store, SHIELD will also include its own app store, known as NVIDIA TegraZone, which is expected to feature specifically-designed games for this form factor. And to top everything off; it’s powered by NVIDIA’s latest Tegra 4 SoC, which is a quad-core A15 chip and has custom 72-core GeForce GPUs. (Read More)
