The new Acer smartphone with the soul of a tablet perfectly combines the capabilities of a smartphone with a tablet-like format: a huge 4.8″ widescreen with a 21:9 aspect ratio and a super cool metal chassis.




Acer today debuted an Android-powered smartphone with gigantic 4.8-inch screen and unique 1024 x 480 resolution. At a global event in New York City, the Taiwanese manufacturer showed off a number of cutting-edge products, including the unnamed handset, which is said to launch in April of next year. Billed as a convergence product ("100% smartphone, 100% tablet"), the device is said to feature :

Android 2.3 Gingerbread

4.8″ screen -- with high resolution of 1024×480 and 21:9 aspect ratio

Physical buttons -- 4 keys: Home, Search, Back, and Menu

Dual cameras -- 8 Megapixel, 720p rear with LED flash and 2.0 Megapixel front

Six-axis motion sensing -- gyroscope plus accelerometer, probably

1GHz Snapdragon processor

cool~

nice..

but it's april. afraid the spec is no longer special then..

april in boleh land or other country?

Good luck finding a pocket for that phone!

better than dell streak right?

SLOL


But this phone shud be suitable for those who prefer big screen but lazy wanna carry a 7" tablet around

i have no problem having dell streak in my pocket, be it jeans or slack.. and i guess this will b better for my pocket.. but acer?

the design seems ugly....

after i encounter poor service and non lasting hardware with acer laptop and desktop makes me think twice before buying any acer product..

its acer....sigh

Just think E71 but bigger

it looks very large when the guy holding the phone... like half of his faces

Agreed. My Acer laptop is falling apart too, but how come :

HTC -- Taiwan
Acer -- Taiwan

So much difference

i know it's big, but believe me, once u get used to it, u wont find it big anymore.. now, i feel my htc desire and iphone 4 is too small for everyday use.. lol

But this one looks promising no? But its a tad too big....

@@
phone is getting bigger... LOL

More choices for those who prefer big screens, easier to see ma

Acer product... I need to think a few times, but the screen size is definitely my fav ....
