Just a day after it has revealed when it will roll out Android Lollipop for its SHIELD Tablet, NVIDIA has released a system update for its earlier SHIELD Portable handheld. While this update does have some rather important changes, perhaps including the new SHIELD Hub alluded to yesterday, this is not yet the awaited Android 5.0 for the device, whose arrival still remains unknown.
NVIDIA actually only lists four major chaImproves battery drain when SHIELD portable lid is closed
• Improves battery drain when SHIELD portable lid is closed
• Updates the latest SHIELD hub app available on Google Play Store
• Fixes a bug that does not allow videos to be played from Facebook, using Browser or Chrome, or on the YouTube app
• Fixes a bug to enable support for 4K content in Console Modenges, with many more probably lurking underneath, but all of them are all equally important.
Yesterday, NVIDIA made it known that its SHIELD Tablet will be one of the earliest to receive Android Lollipop outside of the Nexus line. It later on also confirmed something that owners of the company's first SHIELD gaming device have been waiting for, that the Android gaming handheld will also be receiving the update. The only problem is, NVIDIA hasn't revealed yet when, while the SHIELD Tablet will get the update before the month ends.
Given NVIDIA's track record at providing timely updates, it shouldn't take long for the Portable to gets its fair share. What's more important was the confirmation that it will actually get the update at all. Sadly, the same can't be said of the Tegra Note 7.
