Looks like a Shield Plus with redesigned and extended grip so that there is now a 13 and 15 round option only. 3.6" barrel. Plus a rail.

Waiting on a real set of specifications on this. Their listed on S&W's web site, but when I go to the page, I get 404 errors. Oops. I'm sure this will get fixed shortly, but it's not a goo look.

Could be interesting competition to the P365XL and Hellcat Pro. I like a gun with a manual safety, and this offers one. But it's the Shield too small, hard to use variety. The M&P safety design in much better.
 
I always carry my shield Plus comp with the 13 rounder.
So I’m gonna wait for the comp version. But I likely.
I haven’t looked/tried, but can the 13 rounder mags for the shield plus..can you remove that spacer at the bottom?
I like the 4” barrel on the plus comp to be honest.
 
It looks great to me since it adds to the Shield Plus, a rail, is optic ready, and with or without a safety.
 
Not sure how the cut of the optic will channel gas away? That chamber hole is still there. Seems like that's where the gas comes from?

I do like the longer grip and grip texture design of the new sheild X but wait for the beta testers to decide how reliable it is before running out and buying one early on . Surely s&w will add a compensated model too .

I am a M&P full size and compact fan thru the years but never liked the different shield models or other micro 9mm enough to invest in one .

After others beta tested the P365 and XL models for a couple years my wife bought and carry's a P365xl with a wilson grip module added so the factory skinny grip not feels more like her thin gripped kimber ultra .

After 48 years of concealed carry I bought my first keeper 9mm about two years ago after buying a m&p 2.0 4" compact , added a green dot optic and practice with it but still a 2006 full size 40sw is my edc .

I did shot a friends hellcat pro a few months back and liked it so I ended up buying a hellcat pro comp . Dang if its not a good option for me to be an AIWB carry and with its 15 round standard mag that has a longer grip area over the shield comp for only 2ths more height . Same weight and shorter length .

Not sure when I CC it but I'm a well used up 69 so the day I carry a my m&p compact and heck kitty 9mm are getting closer . I have a green dot for the heck kitty too but not needed yet but I'll continue to practice with the 9mm M&P and holosun optic for now .
