Nvidia does have the Tegra, for the Android tablet market.
Interesting that they've ceded Windows on ARM (aka the rumoured Surface Phone) to Qualcomm - I would have thought Denver's code-morphing architecture would be better suited to emulating x86 instructions than a Snapdragon 835.

Samsung, inarguably leader of the high-class Android manufacturers, uses either its own SoCs or Qualcomm. Many cheaper phones use Mediatek or Allwinner chipsets.
- dogma1138 10y agoIt's used for it's automotive products. It's not used because most likely NVIDIA never really wanted to push it, it checked the water a bit with a few 1st and 3rd party tablets/android gaming consoles but this always looked more like to recoup some investment on the side while developing the SOC than an end goal. The lessons learned from Tegra allowed NVIDIA to build the best (or at least the most powerful) automotive integrated solution currently on the market and at least as far as software compatibility and performance go they have no real competition.
