NVIDIA SHIELD product is equipped wih a great IPS LCD screen that measures 8 inches which can render some sort of screen resolution involving 1920 x 1200 pixels. And for the design, NVIDIA gives its tablet a top grain polycarbonate exterior case that features a matte finish. As for the sides, we can see furrowed edges which provide the handset a very interesting look. This tablet is 9.2 mm thick also it weighs 390 grms.
As Google Nexus 7 comes with an IPS LCD display too, but this one measures only 7 inches screen. Even though it offers a smaller display-screen, the screen resolution still sits on 1920x1200 pixels – identical to the SHIELD tablet. Regarding design, we can identify that Google made guaranteed its tablet got a black remove of glass for the sides and a new rubberized exterior case. This device is as well thinner (thickness: 8. 65 mm) and lighter (weight: 299 grams) than "NVIDIA SHIELD."


Hardware, Software and Memory

As we know SHIELD tablet is a gaming tablet, So we aint that surprised which the device comes with better an improved performing processor: Cortex A15r3 which is a quad core functioning at 2. 2 GHz paired way up with Tegra K1 chipset in KEpler 1 SMX GPU. The tab can supports 2 GB of RAM and it also comes with 2 options regarding interior storage capacity: 16 GB & 32 GB (if you guys want to use a microSD cards, you can develop your memory by nearly 128 GB With Good Support). Th
e OS NVDIA SHIELD runs on the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat.
Processor that properties the Nexus 7 is a Krait: quad core working at 1. 5 GHz paired up using the Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset from Qualcomm. Regarding "RAM & ROM", we can see exactly the same specs here (meaning two GB of "RAM", 16 GB/32 GB of ROM) but no option for memory expansion. The operating system the Google Nexus 7 works on is Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, It being a Nexus device you are usually always the first to get the latest version of Android, currently 4.4.4 KitKat

Camera and Battery

About the primary camera, both devices showoff a 5 Megapixels camera with similar functions (they don’t carry flash). As the secondary camera, NVIDIA taken something interesting, giving the same kind of camera (5 MP) from the front of the tablet, while the Nexus 7 comes with a 1. 2 MP.

As far we concern the battery unit seen for the SHIELD device overpowers one seen on the particular Nexus 7 undoubtedly (SHIELD battery volume: 5197 mAh; Nexus 7 battery capacity: 3950 mAh).

Motorola Moto G – How to take a screenshot

You might find yourself wanting to capture the moment on your Moto G, perhaps a special text message, a picture or a web page. No matter the reason, we are going to present you the easy instructions on how to take a Lcdshot with your Moto G. The Moto G Lcdshot method follows the Android standard which is holding the power button down and the volume down button at the same time for 3 seconds. This is the most common method on Android as other devices such as the HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4, Note 3 and Nexus 7 all use the same Lcdshot method.


http://android-developers-officials.blogspot.com/2014/04/motorola-moto-g-how-to-take-Lcdshot.html



Instructions:

  1. Hold down the power button and Volume down button at the exact same time for 3 seconds (You may have to try it a few times to get the timing right)
  2. Wait until you hear a camera snapping sound and you’ll see the Lcd being captured on your phone.
  3. Go to the Gallery app, then go to Albums to find the Lcdshots folder. In that folder you will see all the Lcdshots that you took.
PRO TIP: I recommend using both your hands when taking the Lcdshot as it’s a bit awkward since the power button and volume buttons are located on the same side of the phone.
