NVIDIA SHIELD : REVIEW
Though Nvidia is lacking in terms of mobile market share but always comes up with a astounding product every time.This time it is the Nvidia Shield Tablet, though Nvidia is always gaming genre this also has a back end of gaming but as well as for all the normal joe's(common man).
But if you are a gamer or love playing hardcore games , this is the tablet for you.The Nvidia Shield is 8 inch gaming slate which has got a Tegra K1 processor under it's hood.It is basically has got everything for everyone : A high-end gaming device , a powerful media tablet and a benchmark for the market.
HARDWARE :
The slate is draped in a mix of glossy and reflective blacks. It's a clean, if less distinctive, look, but the absence of color doesn't mean the Shield is just another cookie-cutter tablet. It looks like a combination of HTC One and the Nexus 7 crafted beautifully.The top speaker bar is split in half by a 5-megapixel front-facing camera and also on the rear of the device.The bottom edge is host to a simple bass speaker vent, while the left side is marked only by the magnetic connectors that latch onto an optional screen cover. On the back, just a smooth matte surface accented only by the word "Shield," etched in glossy black lettering.Although the tablet feels sturdy and well-built, it isn't perfect. Putting all of the Shield's ports on one half of the top edge leaves it feeling a little crowded, and thumbing its physical toggles gave me second thoughts about its build quality.
DISPLAY & SOUND :
The Shield's 8-inch, 283-ppi, 1,920 x 1,200 IPS screen may not be the brightest or sharpest tablet display, but did not have a feeling of wowness.It has clear, balanced colors, great contrast and wide viewing angles.Their design enables a true hand-held stereo experience.Considering how much media we consume on these devices, that's just unacceptable. Thankfully, NVIDIA got it right, placing a speaker on each end of the tablet.
The Shield's speakers don't crackle or distort, but they aren't incredibly loud either. The sound is balanced, and good overall, but it won't fill a room and it definitely can't replace a good set of headphones. This makes the Shield tablet's audio experience a little mixed. At the end of the day, however, the tablet's design makes it impossible to accidentally "block" the speakers by holding the device "incorrectly
GAMING :
This is why you are here?? This is a device is stated as the "ultimate gaming tablet," a slate to take mobile gaming to a new level.The tablet's Tegra K1 outclasses the Tegra 4 chip found in the hand-held Shield, it's hard to tell in most games. With the exception of a few NVIDIA -optimized titles, most Android games simply aren't designed with high-performance graphics chips in mind. Titles like Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode II, Grand Theft Auto III or Jet Set Radio aren't going to look appreciably different on either device -- though all of them run great. In fact, the only titles where we could see any notable difference were ones designed specifically for NVIDIA Shield devices -- namely, Valve's Android ports of Portal and Half-Life 2.
All of this really tells us that is the NVIDIA Shield tablet the most powerful Android gaming device ?? The original Shield device faced too -a bizarre, but tantalizingly capable product with precious few apps that could leverage its power. While it's true that NVIDIA is continually pushing to get more Tegra-optimized games on the market, the fact of the matter is that these titles trickle out at an inconsistent pace.
FEATURES :
The Shield has a upgraded Stylus from the previous one, but again as the previous does it really need a stylus? But this one has greatly improved the Direct Stylus 2.0 is more sensitive as well it looks more like a stylus than the previous one.The Shield is a hardcore gaming tablet and you will need a controller for that type of gaming , fortunately Shield has got it's own controller specially for the tablet.The Shield Wireless Controller is a great controller for the Android device. Being designed specifically for Shield devices. This means it has a few extra features -- namely, a click able mouse pad and a dedicated NVIDIA button (for launching the NVIDIA hub). The rest of the game pad looks pretty standard: two analog thumb sticks, a directional pad, four face buttons, two bumpers and a pair of triggers. It's a good-feeling controller.
The Nvidia Shield is an ultimate gaming device though after it's strangely precceddor not doing well, At the end of the day, the NVIDIA Shield is a solid, worthwhile 8-inch Android tablet in its own right, and it just happens to have a host of novel features, to boot. Sadly, making the most of the device requires an extra controller and an NVIDIA GTX GPU ,making the full Shield experience an expensive proposition.If you are a professional android gamer , this is the Gadget for you.Said that it does have desktop-class architecture cpu.Giving all what the users want.
BUT WILL GAMERS BUY SUCH A TABLET ??
