Nvidia Shield TV is considered by many to be the best Android box on the market. Comprised of highly capable hardware and versatile software, this product does much more than just watching a series or movies.
However, Shield TV has been stuck with Android 9 for too long and the prospects for an update are not the best. According to Nvidia, the update to Android 10 will not happen.
Android 10 will not arrive on Nvidia Shield TV due to lack of news
In a discreet post on its official forum, Nvidia clarifies what motivates it not to release Android 10 for its popular box. In his opinion, this version of the operating system does not offer enough news.
The work inherent in the development of the new firmware it would be sufficient and, in his opinion, it would not offer any real advantage over currently available software. In this sense, Nvidia prefers to channel efforts towards projects that have a greater impact on the user.
Nvidia further clarifies that it will not publicly share information about its update schedule. This means that we will not have communications from the company revealing that a certain update will arrive in a certain period.
Such statements do not preclude a possible upgrade of Shield TV to Android 11 or 12. It will all depend on the news that the software supports and the impact it will have on the user experience.
With the official release of Android 12 coming soon, we’re waiting to see what’s new in the software for this universe. Essential point for a possible Shield TV update for this.
What’s new in Android 12 looks promising for this market segment. With this version of the operating system, native support for 4K will be introduced in its interface and also the introduction of variable refresh rate.
These new features can be very beneficial for anyone using a product like Nvidia Shield TV to play games. It remains to be seen whether the American company will share the same opinion.
