The display size has not been revealed in the benchmarks, but the display resolution is mentioned as 1440×810. The original resolution could be 1440×900, since 90 pixels is occupied by Android on-screen nav-bar. According to the listing, it would have 16GB of internal storage and a 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera.

Other details such as battery and dimensions are not available yet. This could have a different design and come with new features compared to the first Shield console. ASUS Gamebox with a Tegra 4 chip and 2GB RAM surfaced earlier this year on AnTuTu and the controller appeared on Bluetooth SIG, but the company has not made it official.
