Recently, Nvidia announced;
"...today announced a voluntary recall of its SHIELDTM 8-inch tablets that were sold between July 2014 and July 2015, which the company will replace. NVIDIA has determined that the battery in these tablets can overheat, posing a fire hazard. The recall does not affect any other NVIDIA products.
NVIDIA is asking customers to visit www.nvidia.com/support/tabletrecall for information on how to obtain a replacement device. NVIDIA is also asking consumers to stop using the recalled tablet, except as needed to participate in the recall and back up data. Consumers will receive a replacement tablet after registering to participate in the recall."
Previously it was reported that The Nvidia Shield Tablet 2 is set to come out this year (according to Techno Buffalo and PC Advisor UK).
Nvidia Shield Tablet 2 will still run on Android, this time using the updated 5.1 Lollipop version. According to PC Advisor UK, this new tablet from Nvidia is expected to pack Nvidia's latest Tegra X1 processor, which offers better performance and higher quality graphics any gamer will enjoy. In addition, Nvidia Shield Tablet 2 offers 10 hours of video viewing and web browsing before the battery needs to be charged.
For gaming use, the battery should be charged after 5 hours . The Tegra X1 chip is quad-core and runs at 2.2 GHz and 2 GB of RAM. It is the same processor used on the latest Nvidia Shield Android TV device.
The first Nvidia Shield Tablet used Tegra K1 SoC processor and came with an 8 inch display screen with 1920 x 1200 resolution that offered users the ability to output 4K resolution to TVs. Nvidia Shield Tablet 2 retains this resolution. It will also feature a 5- mega pixel camera both at the front and at the rear of the device. Also in front are two front-facing speakers.
A micro- USB, microSD and mini HDMI ports can be found on its side. Reports say it will be lighter in weight at 13.1 oz. It may be heavier than Nexus 7, but only by 3 oz., and its extra screen space and extra internal thermal shield that keeps the device cool, more than make up for the difference in weight. Another feature at the back of each unit is a slip-resistant surface, a step Nvidia has taken to further protect the device.
With a suggested retail price of US$ 299 (wifi version), the Nvidia Shield Tablet 2 is pretty much affordable given all the improvements on power and features the tablet offers.
