mobile gaming has come a very long way in a short matter of time and this product is a perfect indication of just that I'm Taylor Martin this is PocketNow and this is our unboxing of the Nvidia shield so at CES this year Nvidia announced a new gaming console a mobile gaming console powered by Android and we've got one right here it is called the Nvidia shield and it just arrived so let's get this thing out of the box we haven't even opened the shipping box yet so let's do that first this thing is the first device powered by the Tegra 4 processor which was also announced at the CES press event and let's just say before we get this thing out of the box it's heavy the shipping weight for this was almost 4 pounds I believe so it's uh it's definitely bulky big but it is also very high powered take Android gaming to the next level on the side here you've got your Google Play so it has access to Google Play it comes with all my almost stock version of Android and this is just some information you've got your your specifications down here it has a 5-inch 720p display 16 gigabytes of fixed storage has 2 gigs of RAM and of course the Tegra 4 chipset it has you know integrated speakers and everything and I'm not even sure how to get into this box there's some tape so let's cut that this is a very very high quality box it's solid and I imagine the device is too let's see if we can get this thing off and get in here and look at it maybe this is not easy alright so now that we have that off you can just lift up and you can just see what's inside we've got your AC adapter in your micro USB cable nothing major some reading materials which includes just some papers we'll get to that later you don't need to know about all that I don't guess and the device and I think I opened the box upside down did because there is the Nvidia logo so or the shield logo so I got this upside down but that's all there is in the box yeah it has instructions this has open that way here is the device we have to cut this off a lot of cutting if I didn't have this knife I'd be out of luck but this is the device it fills in the hand it almost feels actually like a 360 controller which I'm sure other people have said that but you can get this plastic off I'm gonna move it to the mic yeah we got a good good tear sound I think that is the first unboxing that I've got a nice positive feedback from the plastic but the device is very chunky bulky and it's heavy it feels really sturdy though on the back we've got a few you know your FCC branding and everything for your IDs and it is powered by nvidia tegra got another Nvidia logo and shield and this is what we've been waiting for just pop it right open yeah that's awesome I love it it does it feels like a 360 controller except for your joysticks are in the middle instead of having the alternated joystick in the d-pad and below your left thumb but this is get something on it but it says push the Nvidia button so as this powers up you've got your standard XY ba button configuration a play/pause button volume back home for your menus and for your navigation on Android the joysticks d-pad and that is your multifunction Nvidia button so there's not a lot to see here it's just standard game controller your triggers and your bumpers and if we get in right here on this you've got an ant an HDMI port out that is a micro SD card slot micro USB and your headphone jack so not a lot going on there in the hardware but this is definitely something we've been looking forward to seeing and playing with so we're not going to go through the whole setup process here but this is the 5 inch 720p display it seems at least relatively clear and crisp from from here this has been the unboxing of the Nvidia shield stay tuned to pocket now for the next over the next week to see more content maybe some comparisons definitely a review and other content so stay tuned to pocket now I'm Taylor Martin and I'll see you next time you
