Chinese gamers will be the first to play Tegra 4 games on a device other than Shield.
“The Mi3 with Tegra 4 provides an amazing experience that consumers will absolutely love,” said Lei Jun, Xiaomi founder and CEO. “We wanted it to be fantastic, and that’s why we partnered with NVIDIA. Tegra 4 provides performance and features never before seen in a smartphone.”
“The Mi3’s exceptional innovations demonstrate why Xiaomi has quickly become one of the world’s most important phone makers,” said Deepu Talla, vice president and general manager of the Mobile business at NVIDIA. “Its speed, capabilities and battery life highlight the tremendous experiences that Tegra 4 delivers to leading-edge smartphones.”
NVIDIA recently launched its first gaming platform and the only Tegra 4 device in the U.S., the Shield. The mobile gaming device was designed to play console-quality games. Gamers can even stream PC games straight to the portable device. And mobile games can be played on a big screen, as well.
