It’s been roughly a year since Nvidia released its Tegra 4-powered Android-based gaming handheld, the Shield. As such, it’s most likely due for an upgrade, and based on a recent FCC visit by a device that looks much like the Shield, we might get that upgrade.

Dubbed the P2570, the device bears a striking resemblance to the Shield while also displaying subtle differences when compared to the Shield. For one, the bumper buttons look to be lengthened. In addition, the shoulder buttons appear to be slightly raised, with the overall packaging looking slender and more compact. In other words, if the P2570 ends up being the Shield 2, it seems to be shaped more like an actual controller rather than the original Shield, which is shaped around its 5-inch screen.

While the FCC listing didn’t reveal much more, we do know the upcoming Shield 2 will be equipped with Tegra’s K1 processor, the company’s successor to its Tegra 4 chipset. Also likely to be upgraded is the display, which is expected to see a resolution bump from its current 720p incarnation. We could see the Shield 2 announced sooner rather than later with E3 right around the corner.

iPhone 8 Product (RED)

Rumors continue to dance around the iPhone SE 2, with further talk of the next affordable iPhone costing $400, being based on the iPhone 8, and arriving early next year. This time it’s noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo revealing more details about the unofficial phone, which may be a late sequel to the old iPhone SE that ceased production in 2017.

According to the latest information, Apple will use an event held in early 2020 to show the iPhone SE 2. Over the last few years Apple has showed new products in March, and it was during the 2016 March event the original iPhone SE was revealed. Apple has never had a particular product focus for its March gatherings, unlike its late-year events that center around the iPhone.
