Acer's Icona Smart(phone) arrives in September!

 

Remember when we informed you the first time about the 4.8 inch monster of Acer? The release date of the phone (?!) has been pushed back several times, but now we have good news:  the Icona Smart will come to Europe next month, finally!



Price? Acer declared that we have to pay 499€ (about $711) for the single-core powered Iconia Smart... Curious about the specs? Take a look at our post from last month!

Acer Iconia Smart - in Germany at the end of July!

Got a HTC Sensation? A Galaxy S II? An EVO 3D? An Optimus 3D? Any of those 4.3-inch monsters but that's still not enough for you? Acer might have the answer for you: the Iconia Smart with its giant 4.8 inch (!) display. Read on for the specs and the pricing.

• 4.8 inch display (resolution: 1024x480)
• 1GHz Qualcomm single-core processor
• 8 megapixel rear camera with LED flash and 720p recording
• 2 megapixel front camera
• 512MB of RAM
• 8GB of internal memory
• battery with 1.500 mAh
• Android 2.3 with Acer's own UI
• dimensions: 141.7 x 64.5 x 13.6 mm, weight: 185 grams

To our mind, those would be pretty impressing specs if it was a dual-core processor. But like that, the Iconia Smart isn't gonna rank among the best and the predicted price of 499€ (about $700) is too expensive. You can already get a Galaxy S II for about the same. But of course, if you don't care that much about dual-core and if you just want that huge screen, that's gonna be the choice for you.
