New Nvidia Shield TV clears FCC, could launch soon with updated hardware


Last month, a new version of the Nvidia Shield TV was spotted in the Play Console device catalog. Aside from running Android 9 Pie straight out of the box, the new revision — codenamed "mdarcy" to the previous iteration's "darcy" — didn't seem drastically different. What seems to be that refreshed version passed the FCC's certification process today.
We can't tell a whole lot from the filing — the FCC is primarily concerned with wireless communication (bombshell: this new Shield does have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), and there are no photos of the device. One interesting tidbit is that it seems likely from labeling that the player will ditch the 2017 model's bulky wall wart in favor of an internal power supply, which could help simplify the mass of cables and plugs behind your TV.
Mdarcy's Play Console listing mentions the same Tegra X1 T210 chipset used in the 2017 Shield TV. There are rumors that the SoC is due for a refresh, and this new model could use a new version under the same name. As of this month, a new Tegra X1 revision is being used in production of the Nintendo Switch — but that's called X1 T214, not T210. For now, we'll just have to wait and see what features the new Shield picks up (fingers crossed for a better remote).

It's unclear when the device will be available, but a 2019 release would make sense: previous models launched in 2015 and 2017.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

According to a report by  SamMobile , the two late-2019 Samsung flagships are receiving the Android 10 update in Germany, although the rollout is limited to a small group of beta testers. This stable release follows a  five-round beta testing  that concluded just a couple of days ago. Samsung is rolling out the stable build only to its beta testers in Germany to possibly look out for any major bug. Besides SamMobile, the confirmation also comes from  some Redditors  who got the update in Germany just a few hours back. The same Reddit users also mention that Google Pay remains broken even after installing this final Android 10 firmware, although it wasn’t immediately clear how widespread the issue is. The Android 10-bas
