Details on the next Nvidia Shield tablet are coming out

Nvidia is working on the next version of its Shield tablet. This is according to documents from the American FCC. It is not yet known whether the tablet will ever come to market. Several details have also emerged.

The successor to the Shield tablet from 2014 and Tablet K1 from 2015 carries the type number P2290W, according to the FCC inspection that Liliputing discovered. The tablet from the inspection measures 218×123×8mm, slightly smaller 221x126x9.2mm of the current Shield Tablet. Given the size, it is still a tablet with a screen around 8 “.

Users steel01 of the Nividia Geforce forum links the P2290W to the Hawkeye, the code name for a product that can be found in various places on sites with code from Nvidia. A blob entry explicitly mentions Hawkeye as P2290. Corresponding specs are an Nvidia Tegra X1-soc, screen with a resolution of 1920×1200 pixels, an lpddr4 memory of 3GB and an emmc storage of 32GB.

The fact that Nvidia has the device approved is no guarantee that it will actually come out, but it does show that Nvidia is working or has worked on the tablet. Nvidia positioned the first Shield tablets as gaming tablets.
