Nvidia Shield/Shield K1 won't get Oreo update
Nvidia is likely wrapping up support for its Shield and Shield K1 tablets, as it has come to light that the company won't be pushing out the Android Oreo update to these devices.
The information came courtesy of someone who's part of the software QA team at the company.
We will be providing an update soon for the SHIELD Tablet K1 based on Android N. Android O is not coming to the ST/ST K1.

So you can see they revealed the company is working on a new Android Nougat-based update for the K1, but users should not expect the Oreo update for these devices, which are now three and two years old, respectively.

I have to wonder if this guy actually knows what he's talking about. The shield K1's had Nougat for months, but he makes it sound like it's getting it soon.
