Acer has shown an Android smartphone with a 4.8in screen, at the bottom of its Iconia range of tablets, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
With its big screen, the Iconia Smart is very close to being a tablet, and Acer says it is “100 percent smartphone, 100 tablet”. A long-time notebook maker,Acer has denied reports that it is phasing out netbooks in favour of tablets. The Iconia Smart will be available in the UK from 1 May, according to reports.
Further up the Iconia range, the company showed 7 in and 10in Iconia Android tablets, as well as a Windows tablet with an optional keyboard.
the Iconia Tab A100 has a 7in 1024 x 600 pixel screen, two cameras and runs Android 3.0 Honeycomb on an Nvidia Tegra 2 processor. The Icona Tab A500 has a 10.1in 1280 x 768 screen, and the same processor / OS combination.
The W500 has an AMD C-50 processor and Radeon HD6250 graphics, and uses the Acer “ring” front end, previously seen on the company’s dual-screen laptop.
Also unlike the Android tablets, the W500 has a UK release date (early March) and a recommended price tag: £449, or £529 with the dock.
