Nvidia Shield K1 - User Reviews

  • 5MP of questionable quality? It's normal. What's the good of 5MP if the images are soft, details lost, see nothing in low light, etc.? Compared to todays 5MP that may even make night like a day.

  • Try ebay and swappa.

  • Hey anybody knows where i can buy this??

  • It's out of production, you might find some on Ebay or perhaps amazon

  • It is better for you that if its come don't upgrade! Devices with 3GB of RAM have lags in android 7, you want 8?! Then your device will lags always!

  • Will Nvidia ever make a phone?

  • i want to buy this tablet how can i buy it?

  • pls give our Nvidia Shield K1 a last update of Android Oreo 8.0.....

  • Why do tablets that aren't even that old have 5MP cameras??? :/

  • How much would that be?

  • U can get this one in benstore.com.ph

  • Thanks!

  • Not available in Bangladesh. I bought this tablet from america. It's a great gaming table for under 200$

  • I install the call of duty strike team but I can't play the game!!!! Need help!!!!

  • Guys if you have battery problem flash the lineage os 13 rom.There is no lag and I went from getting 3hrSoT in stock to 5hr SoT in this rom

  • Can i buy it from Bangladesh ?

  • You can buy it in benstore.com.ph

  • Just got 7.0 upgrade ... EUR ( Czech Rep.)

  • Is there any possibility that this tablet would go in the Philippines?

  • Works well if you take the time to optimize power settings. Nivida really fell slightly short here. Everything else is amazing. Let us hope a Nougat update is planned which may enhance battery usage over manually adjusting it for your personal needs. Still deemed the best Android tablet by far in its class. 4K output...wow!!!

  • Some games run ridiculously fast, if you cap the framerate to 60 or 30 fps and play with other settings you could extend battery life quite a bit, there is a configuration panel hidden in the battery section you can find in settings. One of the most power hungry app on my shield was a nice looking chess game, it was running way too fast than necessary, well beyond 60fps and limiting the fps increased the battery life by more than 5x!

  • Mine runs great but you could slow any device if you load it with garbage.

  • my nvidia shield k1 seems running really slow is it possible this is caused by too many application? I thought this tablet is very amazing, but asus zenfone 2 can do better (fast response touch)

  • But battery drain to fast when gaming. It need to be fixed by nvidia.

  • i agree, Nvidia should fix the battery life.

  • 128gb :)

  • 128 GP only

  • 256

  • Guys? Is it 128GB or 256GB capable? beacause i dunno which card i should buy with it. Thx.

  • yup

  • Does the stylus support palm rejection?

  • Well this seems very good as it is on the top of the line of the benchmarks. I am switching from a very slow tablet around the same price point, I hope it is between $150 to $180 used

  • How is the contrast ratio of the Shield Tablet? I hear it is not that good? And does multitasking suffer from the 2GB RAM?

  • Ou noooo 5200 mAh battery!!! h

  • Hey, at least it's $100 cheaper than the original!

  • They had to recall the original model because of a battery fire hazard

  • Go to power settings and reduce max cpu speed to 70-80%. Stuff runs fast enough to notice any difference, but battery life and heat are much better.

  • I used it one month, performance was good, run smooth, acceptable screen quality, best experience in sound quality both Headphone and Build in speaker. Something that suck for me is Battery Life, I give you 1/5 battery life, always plug in charger while I playing game or travel with Power Bank., Nvidia Please improve this thing.

  • Wow nvidia, way to go for making the SAME tablet only getting android M

  • Awesome device. £150 and comes with Marshmellow. Just tried out Geforce Now and it is pretty spectacular. You need to have fast broadband however which I do. Movies are great. Screen is not as nice as Samsungs OLEDs.

  • why?
