NVIDIA is not a hardware manufacturer like the others. But the company known for its graphics processors, graphics cards and chips for PCs, has been very successful with its range of Shield devices since it launched the first Shield in 2013, now called Shield Portable .
Since then, we have seen the range expand with Shield Tablet, tablet-centric game with a wireless controller and a stylus, as well as the recent Shield console, powered by Android TV.

Indeed, this month, at GDC 2015, NVIDIA announced its intention to launch its first video game console designed to meet alongside your TV. But the new game console Shield of the firm, which aims to offer the video game streaming directly on your TV may not be the only new feature of the Shield line to be launched in 2015.
The NVIDIA Shield Portable could be about to receive an upgrade. The information relayed by Android Police stressed that the game console described as the P2523 has recently appeared on various certification sites, Bluetooth and WiFi.
Unfortunately, neither of the two sites provides details of variety. Nevertheless, they suggest that the Shield Portable new generation will embark connectivity Wi-Fi 802.11a / b / g / n / ac dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, a Bluetooth 4.1 chip and Android 5.0 .
This means that the new device will have Wi-Fi connectivity as fast as its predecessor, supports the latest Bluetooth standard, and launched a new version of NVIDIA firmware.
There is no information about the processor, screen, or other components. But if the new Portable Shield is similar to the original, it will probably have a design that looks like an Xbox game controller, with a 5-inch screen that allows you to play games very naturally.
In addition, you can hoped that the new Portable Shield will have similar features to the console, with its Tegra processor X1, its 3 GB of RAM, and the possibility of providing a video stream 4K output.
I would not be surprised that it has also other new features.
