Acer Liquid Jade Primo
The smartphone in question is the Liquid
Jade Primo, which Acer apparently decided to announce for a second time, since
it was promptly featured at last-year's IFA. Back then it stood out from the
crowd of other Acer Windows phones, like the Liquid M330 and M320, mainly
because of its superior specs sheet and the presence of Windows 10 Continuum,
which was still in its infancy and not rally featured in any commercial
devices.
We could go ahead and excuse Acer for
the double announcement, as the Jade Primo did serve more as a technology
presentation platform back in September 2015, but its specs still remain
unchanged since our first encounter, only now, the device is closer to end-user
markets.
The Liquid Jade Primo is equipped with a
5.5-inch FullHD AMOLED display, runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 SoC and has
3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. Its camera setup consists of a 21 MP,
f/2.2 rear shooter with dual LED flash and 4K video recording capabilities and
the front-facing one boasts 8 MP and an aperture of f/2.2.
As already mentioned, the Liquid Jade Primo
runs on Windows 10 and one of its cornerstone features is Microsoft Continuum
that allows you to leverage a PC-style productivity experience with a
compatible dock, like the company’s new USB Type-C monitor. The only new piece
of information about the handset concerns its release. The Liquid Jade Primo is
said to hit the shelves in February in Europe, with a price tag of around US$ 600.
A US release will follow.
