Nvidia promises a Android 6.0 Marshmallow Shield Update before Christmas

 

Nvidia has promised an Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for the Shield Tablet and the Shield Tablet K1 before Christmas, making the Shield tablet one of the very few devices that has received more than one update to a numbered version of Android, 4.2, 5.0 and now 6.0. If only other tablet or phone manufacturers could update their products more frequently. 

 

    

Even now the Shield tablet is one of the most powerful tablets out there, almost unrivaled when it comes to pure gaming potential. Now it comes with a few less accessories, like the Nvidia Stylus, but still comes with the same Nvidia Kepler powered K1 SoC and still thrashes any other tablet in it’s price range.
