This could be the Nvidia Shield 2 (yes, it exists)

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 SE 2 (or iPhone 9?): This could be our first look
iPhone SE 2 renders

Apple is expected to unveil a successor to the beloved iPhone SE sometime in the next couple of months. But you won’t have to wait until the launch for a preview as, courtesy of prolific leaker OnLeaks and iGeeksBlog, we may have today our first look at the iPhone SE 2 (or iPhone 9).

OnLeaks has shared a series of renders that pretty much suggest the iPhone SE 2 will be an iPhone 8 with 2020 specs. That, unfortunately, means the iPhone SE 2 will have a dated design featuring thick bezels on the front -- a far cry from the edge-to-edge screens we’re so used to today.
