Last year Nvidia announced its new Shield brand of portable gaming hardware, releasing a Android 5-inch portable device that ran on the Tegra 4 processor. Since then we have no news but it seems that the company has decided to expand the Shield family with a tablet PC.
The leaked slides were originally published by VideoCardz.com and they show an 8-inch Android tablet and as they say it is the first device to be released on USA and will use the new processor graphics by Nvidia, Tegra K1. The leaked slides promise a July 29 release date for the device with a starting price of $299. It will be released in Europe from August 14.
The Shield tablet will come with a 16GB hard drive, but for $100 you can get the 32GB version. Nvidia is accompanying it with a controller that costs $59 and looks like a wireless version of the full-featured Shield handheld controller. consoles. It comes with a Shield stand that costs 39 to facilitate hands-free gaming.
Other tablet features include 2GB of RAM, a 1,920×1,200 full HD screen resolution, 5-megapixel front and rear cameras, a stylus, and built-in 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi with an option for LTE cellular connectivity, only for the 32GB model. Nvidia claims that the device can get 10 hours per hourproduction HD video before needing a recharge, though it's unclear how much battery life this translates to.
