The Nvidia Shield Portable (Nvidia Shield or NSP) is a handheld game console developed by Nvidia, released on July 31, 2013.[3] It runs on Android Lollipop 5.1, featuring a flip 130mm (5-inch) touchscreen display[4] with 1280×720 resolution.[5] It is similar in shape to an Xbox 360 controller and similar in control setup to a DualShock controller, with two analog joysticks, a D-pad, and other buttons. It is the first device to use Nvidia's Tegra 4 processor. It was originally called Shield or Nvidia Shield, but since the launch of the Shield Tablet, it is called the Shield Portable.[6]
Due to being out of stock for many years, it is presumably discontinued, but there has not yet been any official announcement from Nvidia.[citation needed]
