Nvidia Shield LTE - User Reviews

  • Hi, Yes it have it Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, dual-band, hotspot

  • Hi. Yes is working no problem with lot of game!

  • does this thing could still play 2018 online games with mid graph?

  • Does this model come with Wi-Fi?

  • does it support gamestream?

  • Yes it supports otg, my recomendation for gaming hours, use a Y OTG cable, i use one that i build by myself, i connect a Genius FireblazeUsb Controller (like ps3 but genius) and the same time a charger. Works with real racing and many Nvidia Tegra Games. Regards

  • does it support otg?

  • It heats up on certain battery model. Nyt Nvidia has a recall programme up for them and will replace the tablet free of charge. Google it.

  • To all the nvidia shield tablet user : Anybody tested drawing or sketching on the other device (sony, samsung, htc...) using the directstylus from the nvidia shield tablet. And how is the result? Is it respond to the screen? because I am only interested on the directstylus. Please help me test it. Thanks in advance :)

  • Can anyone tell about its battery? Does it heat a lot or no? Wanna know about its battery???

  • I also have this problem with my samsung galaxy s5. Its not device fault. Android set a new rule that in kitkat OS, anyone cannot transfer files from internal memory to sd card for avoiding ...... actually i don't remember the reason. i just google it long time ago and i saw some rules and regulations like this.

  • Need help.. This Nvidia Shield.. Can transfer fail from internal memory to micro SD. Can or Not ?. Need help because i want buy One..

  • Ye 2g as well as 3g both working fine on my nvidia shield tablet, I have used Reliance, bsnl, vodafone, idea all working fine. Someone said that it does not support WhatsApp but I am also using WhatsApp without root.

  • You can call me weird. But when in the office, using a large tablet to text and call (via bluetooth or headset), makes a lot of sense.

  • Actually all tablets with LTE or 3G connectivity has a phone number assigned to it. This is standard cellular practice. You can find the number in the status menus of Android as well as iOS.

  • the main reason you buy a table is voice call....srsly? not to mention a purely gaming tablet...no comment dude...your smartness amazed me beyound you imagination

  • It can make and receive calls if you have a Google Voice account, Hangouts with Hangout dialer, and an active internet connection. It is not a phone and does not have a regular number assigned to it.

  • Dose this works for calling in US ?? And how is the display , means how will you rate it out of 10

  • How can I buy in bahran

  • Can I make mobile phone calls on my nvidia shield tablet

  • Does 3G sim card work in india? Vodafone or Airtel?

  • The lack of gsm voice/text capability makes this a purely gaming device that would be useless in about a year.

  • 16 gb model is on snapdeal NOT the 32gb lte

  • Now with 5.0.1 before Xmas! It flies!

  • Picked up my LTE model last week, ordered a poetic case off amazon for it just now. I have the controller and cover for it, but cover for nothing to protect back side. After its all set up and loaded, it rocks, 64gb SD card and it's nearly full already. Nvidia games are a cut above, blood people away when they what this tablet can do, for something they never heard of before lol.

  • I have LTE version from us it works in India but voice call is not supported. U can't even have watsapp. There is a bigger isse that airtel gives 4g at 2300 band and this tablet does not support 2300 band. If u r not a rich game wait till international version with voice call comes

  • Well, I got mine off eBay from Germany, two weeks old :) There are always options if you really want something, you know, and you're willing to take the risk. I'm from Bulgaria btw.

  • how could I get this item in Indonesia?

  • Yeah! Android 5.0 Lollipop coming up for this tablet...

  • If I buy the LTE version from U.S .will it work in india with Sim cards from india ?

  • Nvidia's website clearly tells us that 2g 3g and 4g facilities are available but then voice calling is not available. this is because of google's decision to remove the dialler app from the software. Moreover google wants to promote the use of its app called 'Hangouts'. I really wish they bring it back in lollipop.

  • GPRS Yes EDGE Yes Sim Micro sim !! so yes

  • does nvidia tablet shield cna make phone call?

  • ermm...this nvidia shield tablet have contact?and can call someone like normal phone?

  • Heheh that's the main reason you need a phablet :) Well, I want voice calls too. Let's see if we get them with the Lollipop update (for the record, I haven't received mine yet so I don't know if it has voice calls or not).

  • I got it couple of days ago and there are no options of making or receiving gsm voice calls. The OS is missing a dialer component and custom dialers give error - voice dialing not supported. It came with a factory inserted SIM card from AT&T, though. NVIDIA support says there is no voice version on the market. I think all LTE tablets with DATA ONLY should emphasize that. It's an unnecessary flaw for otherwise great tablet. I'm taking mine back, because gsm voice calling is one of the main reasons, I need a tablet.

  • Not exactly. From Nvidia site FAQs: WHAT CELLULAR NETWORKS DOES THE SHIELD TABLET LTE SUPPORT? There are three versions of SHIELD tablet LTE. There is a North American version that works on AT&T, T-Mobile and Rogers on LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 7, and 17 and HSPA bands 1, 2, 4, 5. There is a second International version that works on popular European and Asian networks. It supports LTE bands 3, 7, 20 and HSPA+ bands 1, 2, 5, 8. The third version also works on popular International carriers, in addition to including voice support on compatible networks. It supports LTE bands 1, 3, 7, 20 and HSPA+ bands 1, 2, 5, 8. DOES THE SHIELD TABLET LTE SUPPORT VOICE? There is a version of the international SKU that supports voice on compatible networks, available for purchase in select regions. They don't list the regions though...

  • Yes u didnt see it says that this tablet have a sim card than that means u can call

  • Got this one instead of Nexus 9. I believe I'll be happier in the long term. Just waiting for it to arrive. For me this is the best and well-thought out tablet on the market at the moment, has everything I need and more, minus the hype. With an incredibly low price even! I just wish Nvidia posted the SKUs where voice calls are enabled or allow us to enable them so I could ditch the phone... A bit worried about stepping down 2 inches from my current Xoom, but hey! Sometimes loss could be gain, for what I know.

  • Did you read the specifications before asking the question? Yes,OK?

  • can this tablet make a phone call ?

  • i live in Indonesia, mostly used 800Mhz and/or 1900Mhz Frequency, if i purchase the LTE unlocked version from amazon, can i use it in my country? please help me

  • there is no shipping for india. so how do we get it?

  • can this lte version call?

  • The Shield Tablet is no replacement for the NVIDIA Shield handheld console, but more or less the successor of the Tegra Note 7. Instead of the Tegra 4, the Shield tablet gets the new Tegra K1 quad-core SoC with integrated 192 core Kepler graphics card. The build quality has improved as the whole tablet is now a gaming device aimed at the higher end market. The 8-inch 1920 x 1200 pixels screen offers more real estate and a finer resolution than the Note 7. Furthermore, the front camera is now improved to 5 MP, up from 0.3 MP. As the name suggests, the Shield Tablet also inherited the features of the NVIDIA Shield console, like GameStream or GRID to stream games from the PC or from the cloud to the tablet. New features for the Shield line up include the ability to stream to Twitch via NVIDIA ShadowPlay. This is also the reason behind the upgrade of the front cam. Thanks to the Tegra K1 SoC, the tablet now also supports Direct Stylus 2 and ships with a stylus that can be stowed in the tablet. A new drawing app called NVIDIA Dabbler is also preinstalled for realistic watercolor and 3D oil paintings. As the Tegra K1 is OpenGL 4.4 capable, Nvidia states that it is relatively easy to port console and desktop games to devices powered by this chip. The Shield tablet is delivered with a full version of Trine 2 that was ported in only a few weeks according to Nvidia. Furthermore, there will be 11 optimized games for Tegra K1 at launch and some of them like Half Life 2 and Portal will get additional graphical features. Nvidia also told us that the cooling system of the tablet is able to dissipate about twice the heat that conventional systems can handle. Therefore, the Tegra K1 used in the tablet will have a higher TDP than other tablet SoCs. The 20 WHr battery offers 10 hours of video playback and 2-3 hours of gaming, according to Nvidia. Nvidia provided a demo system for a short period of time and some benchmarks. The (selected) tests showed impressive scores of the new Tegra K1. For example, the fast Snapdragon 801 in the LG G3 was left behind in every single test. The GPU performance looks way ahead of the current competition and even the Snapdragon 805 should be left behind. The CPU performance is also very good and ahead of the current high end devices

  • when will it be available in india?? I m waiting to buy this awesome device..
