Acer Iconia Smart, the lanky passes through our hands

Other terminals that are most caught our attention was the Acer Iconia Smart. Is a phone that stands out for having a 4.8 inch screen very long formats. Much, much to surprise with a resolution of 1024 x 480 pixels, 21:9 format and 14 inches high. Android 2.3 will feed Gingerbread. No doubt that Smart is a mobile Iconia different.

Betting on the big screen are doing it is almost exclusive terminal for multimedia use, but also offered as ideal for browsing web pages. Mobility? Yes, I also believe that as the motive is quite poor because their huge format always force us to use both hands, otherwise there will be certain specific locations on the screen where it will be difficult to reach.

Clearly, what stands out the Iconia Smart is the screen, 4.8 inches and almost 15 inches tall. 15! We will have advantages but also disadvantages, of course. And do you want to tell you, but I see more of the latter. For example, when a mobile so long probably peek in some bags or pockets.

Really, is very long, about 3 or 4 inches over a smartphone today. A lot. Given the length also cost us handle it. Our fingers are finite, and therefore if we take the terminal with one hand, we can only play a certain part of the screen. What we do want, for example, return to the start menu? The button is fully down and from the area in which we take the phone does not arrive.

A very big stick. As long as the screen you will see that the web pages when the device is vertical are very narrow, very small text. The horizontal run is minimal compared to the vertical. The good news is that if we change the terminal to a horizontal position improve things much, and indeed to be grateful.

The positive aspects are, of course. For example, the virtual keyboard is quite comfortable and leaves plenty of room to continue watching a part of the application. Being big is also fairly easy to grasp, is very clearly (the resolution is very good) and, of course, the capacitive screen responds very well, although not the best.

Phone and can be used as such. Bring HSDPA connectivity, Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi 802.11 b / g / n and 8-megapixel camera (rear) and 2-megapixel (front), nourished by a Qualcomm MSM8255 SnapDragon 1 GHz and 512 MB of RAM with 8 GB of internal memory. Accelerometer, FM radio, and HDMI output.

Everything. But if there are a couple of uses for the Smart Iconia is in focus, these two are the multimedia content and navigation of Web pages. First, because it hints at the screen. 21:9 format with which highlight films as much as 21:9 Philips TV that we tested. The idea is the same but in your hands, with a good resolution on a panel that could have been better, since it is a TFT.

On the other hand, browse the Internet if we have terminal upright is quite tedious, say, but everything changes when we put it in horizontal. Reading is much more fluid and comfortable enough. Iconia Smart phone is a point, and therefore it is difficult to succeed and set a precedent. It is not aimed at all audiences, and actually think anyone would buy it if not for you especially like the format and draw its attention to design.

It seems to be a serious phone, so maybe that's why there are many entrepreneurs who want to appear as a terminal. The aluminum rear help it. Price and release date have not yet been announced, not even approximate. As we know more we will let you know. Video | In Youtube. In Tech News Buzz | Acer Iconia Smart.
