    I got a 4K Max one because it was only 35€. I want to upgrade to a shield pro successor which is overdue by now.

      If you want to do this because of the full screen ads you may be too late.

        You can easily change launchers on the Shield and remove all of Google’s nonsense through ADB as well though, unlike Amazon who locks down the OS very tight. Plus like another commenter said, you can just flat out install LineageOS and you’re good.

        You can run lineageOS on it though; problem solved

      4k Max is so much faster than the Shield devices, i actually got upset that i invested so much money in two of them.

        Interesting. I am not really happy with mine. Pretty laggy and it sometimes crashes. But good to know and makes the wait easier instead of getting that old tech instead.
