Jade Primo
Acer
announced the Jade Primo, a device that comes with Windows 10 for phones.
Dubbed a "pocket PC" by Acer, the handset meets all hardware
requirements to run Microsoft's latest OS and all of its features, especially
Continuum.
Actually,
it's touted as the first phone in the world that supports Continuum, which is
without a doubt one of the more interesting Windows 10 ones. Basically, it
allows your Windows 10 smartphone to turn into a full-blown PC if you
connect it to an external screen and controls, such as mouse and keyboard. In
order to allow users to make use of this feature, the Jade Primo will come with
a docking station, as well as a wireless mouse and keyboard.
On
top of it all, it will be able to run universal Windows 10 apps, as well as
x86-based apps that have been converted for devices with ARM-based chipsets,
like the one that powers the Jade Primo. We are talking about a hexa-core
Snapdragon 808 chipset that is powering the whole shebang.
Other
hardware specs of the Jade Primo include a 5.5-inch 1080p AMOLED display up
front and a Snapdragon 808 chipset to power the whole shebang, the Acer Jade
Primo is one of the better-spec'd Windows-powered smartphones we've seen of
late. A 21 MP camera with a dual-LED flash at the back and an 8 MP selfie camera
were also mentioned as key features of the device.
Price
and availability of the Jade Primo have not been revealed yet, but we will
update you once we know more.
