Taking android gaming to the next level… NVIDIA SHIELD..

Gaming industry has truly revolutionized in the past couple of years.  The mobile gaming platform is raising its bar every year and is drawing nearer and nearer to pc gaming. With more heavy and demanding games landing on the android store every year, there was a need of a gadget that could give you the excitement of playing an android game the way it was meant to be played. That is where the Nvidia Shield came in.

                                                                              

A brief run on the specifications first..

• Nvidia Tegra 4 Quad Core Mobile Processor
• 2gb ram
• 5 inch HD dispay (1280 * 720) 294 ppi Retina quality
• 16 GB flash memory (external memory support upto  64 gb)
• Wifi, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS
• Android Jelly Bean OS 4.2.1
• 28.8 Watt
• Mini-HDMI output, Micro-USB 2.0, 3.5mm stereo headphone jack with microphone support

All these specs sure resemble a powerhouse of a gaming android device. Just to show how the new and advance tegra 4 rivals against the top dogs in the smartphone industry.

                                                               

The benchmark clearly show that the Nvidia thrashed the competition into sand when it came to raw power even giving the current top dog in processing power: Snapdragon 800 a run for its money.

Lets take a dive in to see how Nvidia shield hopes to transform the way you play your android games.

The main attraction of the Nvidia Shield is its controller. If you have played on an X box 360, you will notice an unprecedented resemblance  between the controller of the X box 360 and the nvidia shield. This resemblance is a good sign as we all know how perfect the x-box controllers are for playing games. The buttons are well positioned and the thumbsticks are very responsive. Despite all this, it still doesn’t feel like a proper gaming pad as compared to the original xbox controller. The reason behind it is the fact that owing to the attached screen, the thumbsticks had to placed at an angle which would allow the screen to sit down and that caused their arrangement to be lower than what would be generally desired.

The next main attraction of the Nvidia Shield comes in the form of its display. The 5 inch hd display with 294 ppi is surely a beauty to stare at. While it might not be able to match the display quality of 1080p Full HD tablets available in the market right now, it certainly is the best screen quality in gaming handhelds and certainly much better than the PS Vita whose resolution is 960*544.

                                                                                                                                                   

Another feature to take your gaming to the next level are the speakers. There is no fun in playing a game unless you cant enjoy its sound effects and Nvidia made sure you wouldn’t. The two speakers on the nvidia shield provide a solid punch and are more powerful than any other android device available in the market right now and certainly better than the rivals : Nintendo 3ds and PS vita

Now coming over to the feature that left the crowd awestruck reagarding the capabilities of Nvidia Shield when it was announced in January 2013, its ability to stream PC games from your desktop. That’s right, this beast had all the horsepower required to stream a PC title (keep in mind PC games are way more demanding than android games) through Wifi onto your nvidia shield. Unfortunately, this was only possible if your desktop rig had a GTX 650 graphic card or higher and you had a dual band router at your place.

Another slight drawback is the fact that some games which can only be played on-screen like the Temple Run etc. cannot be played comfortably on this device owing to the attached controllers.

Finally, there is no denying the fact that Nvidia Shield Is a major step forward for the android gaming platform. It shows the world that android gaming can take a hit at the pc-like gaming provided you can enjoy it with the right set of controls and screen.

As for the pricing and availability, it is available in US and Canada only with a price tag of $299.99.
