Acer Jade Primo with Windows 10 Mobile gets the spotlight in new previews

One of the biggest announcements at last week's IFA 2015 trade show in Berlin was the Acer Jade Primo, am upcoming high-end Windows 10 Mobile smartphone that supports its Continuum feature. Two media outlets managed to get up close with a prototype of the Jade Prim during IFA.

The Italian site HDblog.it posted a hands-on video of the Acer Jade Primo, but didn't show the phone's Continuum feature in action, which will allow owners to use it like a Windows 10 PC with a hardware dock. GSMArena got some up close images of the smartphone and offered some opinions on its physical case:

"As for the phone itself, it has a rather plain exterior, which is not necessarily a bad thing and if clean is what you are after, then it should be right up your alley. Materials and build quality are also perfectly adequate but nothing really special or premium. Just an ordinary-looking device, but one with an important mission of introducing Microsoft's concept of a more convenient future."

The Acer Jade Primo will have a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor and a 21MP rear camera. The company has yet to offer a specific release date for the smartphone.
