Nvidia Shield Android TV Launched at CES 2017 With Google Assistant and 4K HDR Support...
Nvidia launched a new version of its Shield Android TV, called just Shield, at the CES 2017 trade show on Wednesday. It comes with Google Assistant integration and supports 4K HDR. Even though the previous generation of the device was already capable of video output at 4K resolution and featured a powerful eight-core 64-bit capable SoC, the latest additions are bound to make the device more useful than before. The new Nvidia Shield will cost $199 (roughly Rs. 13,200) but the company has not announced the availability of the device yet.
The new Nvidia Shield is the first Android TV device to come with Google Assistant integration and supports 4K HDR for both games and movies, as pointed out in a report by Engadget. Google Assistant, which is already available on search giant's Pixel smartphones and its Google Home voice-activated speakers, will not only work as a digital assistant but can also be given the command to play media on the device.
In order for Shield to receive commands from the users easily, the company has also launched a microphone accessory called Nvidia Spot along with the device, enabling it to receive commands just like voice-activated speakers. Multiple Spot microphones can be bought as well, and placed in rooms across the house, providing Google Assistant features with the Shield Android TV as the central hub.
Interestingly, at CES 2017, the company didn't share specific details about the processor on the new Shield as well as the gaming performance of the device. Considering that the first generation was itself very capable, it will be interesting to see what the company has to offer with the new version of Shield. We will have to wait for the company to announce further details, pricing, and availability of the new Shield.
