Well, I blew the entire contents of this story in the title, didn’t I? That’s a fail. Anyhow, as we mentioned in the earlier story, you can get yourself the new, cheaper Pixel 3a. It’s got pretty decent specs and a very decent price-point. Just £399. However, if …
Acer has kicked things off at IFA 2018 with a heavily PC based event showcasing their new laptop line up alongside some of the new gaming systems and Virtual Reality/Mixed Reality. The things that were most interesting things for us at Coolsmartphone were really the laptops in the …

Yeah, Yeah. A couple of Chromebooks, but who cares, they’re for the education market. Why is this a thing? You’re probably right in your thinking. If you were going to get a Chromebook and money was no object, you might decide to grab the Chromebook Pixel, or even …
It has been a few weeks now since the latest Acer tablet arrived on my desk at Coolsmartphone towers. In that time I have been using it as my main day-to-day device for media consumption. I have not really been using it for very much in the way of work …
Today we have a new tablet in the house from Acer – the Acer Iconia Tab 10. The Iconia Tab 10 is Acer’s take on the low cost but premium build tablet that aims to be your new multimedia device. The Acer Iconia Tab 10 is currently available …

Welcome to the Coolsmartphone Podcast Episode 173 We certainly had plenty to get our teeth into as we discuss: The Launch of Apple Pay Acer Gaming Tablets The Google I/O Event Android N Google Home Streaming Apps Google Day Dream Google Wear 2 The rebirth of Nokia phones …
Acer’s newest Windows phone is about to hit the prime time, and I have been able to have a bit of a play around with it. First off lets have a look at the unboxing video.. The phone feels good in the hand due to its slightly curved …
The Acer Predator 8 is a device we have seen a few times now, but up until now I have not really had a good chance to have a play with it. That all changes today as I am in Belfast with #acerliveblog2016 and they have let me …
How’s about an Android tablet for £179.99 with 2GB RAM, 32GB storage, a 64-bit quad-core MediaTek CPU, a microSD card slot and Android 6.0 Marshmallow? Sound good? Acer are promising an 8 hour battery life with this, and it comes with “Quadio” front-facing speakers, a “Precision Plus” touchscreen …
We took a chance to go out to see the Acer booth and whilst we were out there we came across the recently announced Jade Primo Windows 10 mobile. Now we have already covered this one during our IFA coverage from last year. Although we covered it there …
We first saw this phone being discussed way back in September at IFA, but at that time we were unable to get any hands on time. Now that it is official we can bring you the specs of the phone and it looks good. Specs Operating system- Windows …
Well aren’t we being busy Acer? Acer is announcing a slew of devices at CES 2016 in Las Vegas. These include a new tablet, some new laptops, a smartphone and a Chromebook. The press releases are making the rounds on the internet. If on the other hand you …
There’s a raft of 7″ tablets out there. Just have a look down your local supermarket and you’ll see a stack of them. Here we’ve got the Acer Icon is One 7. Around back, a very grippy rear panel which has a rather funky pattern on it. The …
Acer didn’t just have phones to release at the their event during IFA, they also unveiled the Predator Gaming Tablet… This is a very unique proposition. It is a tablet that has been designed primarily for gaming. It runs Android 5.1 on an Intel Atom X7 and is …
Acer had lots to talk about at IFA, so I decided to pay them a visit and get some hands on time with their new products. Now, traditionally we tend not to see that many Acer phones in the UK – with the exception of their M220 that …
Acer are a manufacturer who produce some great hardware for a lower price which sometimes can be a good thing. Not everyone wants to spend £30-£50 a month or £500 on their new device, but do want the flexibility of using the great Android OS for apps and …
This thing is incredibly light and remind me obviously of the previous Acer Liquid Jade from some time back. It also kinda reminds me of the older iPod in the design, plus the fact that it’s painfully thin. The phone itself comes in at 110 grams. First impressions …
First, a bit of detail about how all this came about. Phones. I get a lot of them to review. I borrow them then send them back, but with different sizes of SIM cards and some handsets offering dual-SIM functionality, it can result in me using Pay As …
It has been a while since I have done a review of a new phone so when Acer asked me to test the new Jade S I figured I would give it a shot. I had done a small article when the prices were announced a while back …
A package arrived the other day and in it there was a very shiny box with an Acer Logo on it. Why don’t you join me while I unbox this little shiny box? What we have here is a pretty neat phone that is coming in a suitably …
Earlier on today we attended the Acer event where they unveiled the latest phones and Smartband in their portfolio, I despite the crowds managed to take a load of pictures of the devices and even some video. Take a look below. Acer Liquid Z220 The Acer Liquid Z220 …

With just days to go until Mobile World Congress, various phone manufacturers are either trying to hold back leaks or tease you about upcoming products. Acer is currently in the latter camp, and have just posted this … Above it is confirmation that we’re going to see more …
Acer Aspire Switch 11 Intel Atom Quad-core 1.33GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, microSD reader, 32GB flash memory and 500GB drive in the keyboard “base” section.

A projector isn’t something you’ll see covered a great deal here. Yes, there’s projectors that you can connect your phone to etc, but this puppy is really quite interesting because inside there’s a Chromecast dongle. Acer have strapped one inside of this so that you can watch Netflix, …
Remember my look at the Acer Liquid Jade ? The camera wasn’t exactly great but I definitely liked the styling in my mini review and subsequent video overview. Now, a newer version, packing a more powerful front camera (5 megapixel instead of 2 megapixel) but the same resolution …
Let’s get to the nitty-gritty shall we? You’re gonna be seeing a stack of CES-related announcements this week as the big tech show kicks off in Las Vegas. This is the first of many, the Acer Liquid Z410. It’s got a 4.5″ 245 ppi screen, it’s 64-bit and …
There’s a wide variety of handsets around but , as you’ll no doubt know yourself, they all have a very similar design – one big screen up front, a couple of cameras and that’s about your lot. Yes, I’m generalising a little, but my first impressions from the …
I’m still sitting on the fence with smart watches and smart bands if I’m honest. There’s a piece of me that wants a “normal” watch that I don’t have to tap or faff with to check the time and date. However, there’s another part of me that secretly …
Acer have sent us to Edinburgh and have loaned us a number of devices – the Acer Liquid Leap (a fitness band), the Acer Liquid Jade (a shockingly slender smartphone), the Iconia Tab 8 and the device I’m using to type this out – the Aspire Switch 10. …
Acer are sending me up to Scotland at the moment and I’m blogging this from the Scotrail Sleeper to Edinburgh.. I should be brutally honest though, and admit that I’m in the bar. The Scottish staff are giving me beer and I’m not refusing. It’s the way my …
This weekend we’re doing something a bit different. It’ll involve one phone, a few battery packs and a lot of train journeys. From Friday all of my posts, pictures and updates across the weekend will be created and sent purely from my phone. We’re going to see if …
Amazon in Germany have just added this quad-core handset, which has a 5″ Zero-Air-Gap IPS HD screen (1280 x 720), 2GB RAM, 16GB storage and runs Android 4.4.2. The Acer Liquid E700 is called the Trio because it can take three SIM cards, so one for work, one …
I recently received the Acer Z5 budget smartphone through for review, and despite there being a dual-SIM variant, this is the single SIM version. After unboxing my first impressions were… “Hang on, someone has put a Nexus 5 in here by mistake!” Good Points Good feel in the …
Just last month we spotted that the budget-priced Z5 was available in the UK. Trouble was, it cost around £145. Now the mighty Asda are doing the dual-SIM device for just £99. Although we’d probably still go for the Moto G, it’s an OK price for a handset …
This is the Acer Liquid S2. It’s a monster of a device and I’ve carried around Barcelona for the past few days. It comes equipped with a 6″ Full HD IPS screen at 1920×1080 (368PPI) and has a rather smooth zero gap display with a curved Gorilla Glass …
A few days ago Acer announced two new smartphones just before Mobile World Congress. The Liquid Z4 was a low to mid range phone for those people who like using the internet and social media on the go. We just went to the Acer event before the official …
