NVIDIA Announces Android 11 Update for All Shield TV Devices

[clopezi]

If you have to ask the question, then there is no help for you. Try Google, or anyone that has owned the same Android phone for more than a year.

First of all, Nvidia Shield was launched with Android 5, we are now on Android 11, so you are wrong if this it's your point. In this case, @lexluthermiester hit the spot.

On the other hand, as @Flying Fish said, Samsung, Google or others Android, even Nokia, are upgraded over almost three years, five on recent phones, so I'll suggest to buy a phone from companies that offers a better support.

Those companies realised that batteries die, phones get bunged up and technology moves on, as do the owners of most phones after 3 years.
Tbf a set top like box isn't entirely comparable, and I except android 12 is very new, but at a bare minimum the security updates should be released.

It's like log4j and it's like aren't a thing to some, security is key to others.

And anyway Nvidia are a company that thrives on sales , a new ,better shield wouldn't do sales any harm would they?!.

You missed the word "phone" there sporto. It's important to understand and comprehend their post when your going to attack someone.

No it didn't. Mine had 4.4.4 when new and I didn't update until they released Android 7.1.2 for it. The first Shield was released with 4.4.2.

I genuinely keep thinking i should get a shield, since i'm heavily into the nvidia ecosystem and would use the in-house streaming (as well as the android TV features)

I have thought this many times myself, and before seeing your comment I was going to post about the in house streaming potentially being a great value add for nVidia gpu users. To any Shield owners-- is the game streaming from a desktop pretty good? Controller, etc? Can you use mouse/keyboard as an option for games? I would love to ditch my living room PC entirely and just run everything from my main desktop.

I use moonlight which is an open source version of the shield software

Yes its good, yes you can use mouse/keyboard/etc - in the same house with wireless tech, i dont even need to use them on the client, i just pick up the mouse and headset and walk out there

If you have a second PC, you can use the moonlight client instead of android and get better latency results (slower android hardware adds a lot of latency, but moonlight stats show that to you - my TV's hardware was about 16ms, my chromecast 10ms, and my phone was like 1.66ms - my HTPC? 0.1ms)
