Which version of Android is the Shield currently running?
Refresh rate switching (finally)
"Refresh Rate Switching Settings: For a smoother viewing experience, Android 12 now supports seamless and non-seamless refresh rate switching. Apps can now integrate these settings for playback of content at optimal frame rates. The Match Content Frame Rate user setting has been added to allow users to control this feature, and apps can call Display.getMode to know if a user’s device supports seamless rate switching"
4k UI Support
4K UI support: For added visual fidelity, Android TV OS now officially supports UI rendering at 4k resolution on compatible devices. 4K UI resolution can be tested in the upcoming Android 12 emulator for TV to allow app developers to prepare their app for devices with the higher resolution.
Finally 4K UI!!
Very Kodi like .. 🤔

Does this mean the icons on the home screen are going to sharp and super crisp like on Apple TV?
Thinking that we'll have to wait several years before we all can enjoy Android 12 on our current devices 🤔😒
