hey guys EBPMAN here and I'm going to do
the really short video that's going to
compare just the overall aesthetic from
the changes from science dimensions and
whatnot for the new nvidia shield 2017
that's going to be released in the next
three days versus the original 2015
let's go and check it out now one of the
things that you can see rather clearly
here just by looking at the set
what you have with the 2015 version and
2017 version is the footprint so we're
going to do is going to look at each one
of these components see if anything has
changed highlight those as you consider
maybe upgrading or if this is the first
time that you're picking up a 20-17
shield so the first thing we're going to
look at is the remote so the remotes
look very similar and matter of fact if
you look at them side-by-side there are
actually the same height
the controls are seen to be placed in
the exact same area and they have
functionally the same capabilities when
it comes to volume control here in the
body when I flip this over you will
notice however that the new remote which
is this one right here is a little bit
thicker and wider actually think I'll
just stick with not wider you can see
that right there
the other thing that you notice at the
bottom it is missing the micro USB
charging port and it's missing the
headphone jack so you're not going to be
able to connect the headphone to your
remote to be able to listen if you want
to do some private listening you'll
notice up here that pretty much
everything is the same except you have
this little area right here that I don't
know what this is it almost looks like
if it was the microUSB that it was never
cut out besides that it is a little bit
thicker switch these around again this
is the new one this is the old one and I
guess we'll learn more as to why i have
not found out how you can charge this
maybe this is not something you have to
charge maybe there is a long-term
battery in it
I don't know yet but that's something
that I'm looking to find figure out in
the next couple days now next up is the
gamepad so here the two-game pads and
right off the bat you're gonna be able
to see the difference the first
generation of the shield gamepad isn't
really up to standards when it comes to
gaming gamepad like those that you find
the playstation and then those that you
find in the xbox so now you go from
something that was wide
I don't want to call it clunky but it
was a lot wider and the weight
distribution wasn't really the best so
you could experience some fatigue now
you'd have to turn this on when you
wanted to use it you know if you have
some volume controls right here you'll
notice here that you have headphone jack
and you had your ability to charge but
it has pretty much the standard controls
that you find in any of the gamepad the
problem is that it was a lot heavier now
compare that to the new one and notice a
big difference lot more like what you
find on the PlayStation you do have here
on the bottom your headphone jack so you
can see that there's you don't lose that
and you do have their micro USB charging
port right there so there you see it
right there and then you see it sound
there it feels much better in the hand
it doesn't have the same weight
significantly larger you know lighter
than the predecessor and but the
joysticks everything feels really good
in the hand and the other thing is that
while you do have here I like Michael
pause or or back button here and and
forward and back control you can see
that right there
the remote doesn't have an on button and
if you pick it up it knows and it does
have the haptic feedback built in so i
think that's another good improvement
now the last thing we look at are the
boxes themselves and this says it all
look at the size difference significant
reduction in size so put their my next
to each other so literally that's
probably over almost 2 inches thinner or
from a with perspective and then
probably i don't know a little bit over
two inches on the top as well as much
smaller and that's just my hand my
finger from measurement just as a guest
you can see here once again the
difference if you look at the back here
you notice that there are some things
missing
so for example you don't longer have
that microSD slot the power is also what
is also the same place and you notice
that something's changed right here you
have hdmi and your Ethernet happen SWAT
and now you do still have two USB ports
and they also drop this other port here
the venting is a more than
the same place nothing is available here
on the bottom or on the top as you look
on at this right here you notice that
they still I would say they have the
same design language so it's still
something that when you see it you know
you have a shield so this concludes my
physical comparison of the Nvidia shield
2015 which is on the bottom and the 2017
which gets released on 116 if you have
