If you rock a SHIELD Tablet, go grab the update.
Still haven’t received my update.
Every release is a baby step towards fixing the ROM’s awful non-gaming performance issues. Gotta give Nvidia props for updates though.
The Shield K1 has been a great replacement for my 2013 Nexus 7, after I discovered my N7 was having trouble running a lot of Youtube/Twitch content at 1080p. Also works great for work, as I’ve gotten a few of them for shop Foremen to use.
Awesome, still hoping for Nougat soon, but glad my tablet gets more-frequent updates than my phone at this point…
Still no nougat… Sigh
Nice, still use and like my Shield tab. If it gets Android N, it will be an unexpected, but awesome surprise. Nvidia has supported this device better than any other non-Nexus tab it seems. I hope they make another one at some point.
Best tablet money can buy in my opinion. Best tablet i’ve ever owned ahead of the N7.
I can’t believe the support for this thing through its lifespan. Nvidia honestly knocked it out of the park with the tablet.
To bad it flew under the radar and didn’t do much marketing.
I expect it will get N, but probably not anytime soon.
