Comparisons Featuring Acer Iconia Smart
Short Review
- The Acer Iconia Smart features a distinctive design with dimensions of 141.7 x 64.5 x 13.6 mm and a weight of 185g, giving it a solid feel in hand.
- Its 4.8-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 1024 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 236 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 chipset with a 1.0 GHz Scorpion CPU and Adreno 205 GPU, complemented by 8GB of storage and 512MB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- Battery life is supported by a 1500 mAh capacity, but it lacks fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), the software experience is outdated and may limit app compatibility.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device also includes a headphone jack, which is a plus for audio enthusiasts.
- Overall, the Acer Iconia Smart is a basic smartphone that may appeal to users looking for essential features without advanced specifications.
