We know an NVIDIA Shield tablet is on the way, and it looks like it’ll be announced sooner rather than later. A set of leaked images and information points towards the gaming tablet being announced on July 22nd in time for a late summer/early fall rollout to consumers.​

According to the images, the Shield Tablet will indeed be a powerful tablet paired with a wireless controller instead of the all-in-one package we got with the original Shield device. The tablet sports an NVIDIA K1 processor, 2 GB of RAM, a 1920 x 1200 8-inch screen, and a 5 megapixel front-facing cam. The 16 GB model with WiFi only will run $299, and the 32 GB, LTE-enabled version will cost $399. Either option should be more than capable of handling even the most demanding games available on Android.​

Aside from the tablet, NVIDIA is going to push the wireless controller accessory to complement playing games on the device. The controller will cost $59 and is supposedly significantly more responsive than typical Bluetooth controllers, so it may not be a universal Bluetooth accessory. That’s a bummer if you were planning on getting just the controller for another device.​

With an announcement on the 22nd and a rollout slated to begin on July 29th in the US and Canada, you can expect more official news on the Shield tablet soon.​
