Acer Iconia Smart Review

American (S300)     See other variants reviews Score: 51.5 / 100

Acer Iconia Smart is a mid-end Android phone released in 2011, packed with a 1.1 GHz processor, a good size 4.8-inches screen, an 8 megapixels back camera and a 2 mega-pixels front side camera.

Acer decided to build this cellphone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM8255 system chip, including a good performance processor ticking at 1100 megahertz and 512 MB of RAM memory. Graphic rendering usually consume a lot of CPU cycles, so this phone uses an extra Adreno 205 GPU ticking at 245 MHz to take care of them, leaving the CPU free for other tasks. A nice advantage of the Acer Iconia Smart is its quite large 8 GB internal storage and a slot for SD memory cards, which allows you to store a couple hundred applications and games without any trouble.

This phone is only for sale in black color. This time, Acer decided not to care about this device weight at all, releasing it with a 6.53 oz weight. This phone is quite thick compared to today's devices, being as thick as 0.54". This cellphone only has 5.58 inches long, but it's still able to fit a a 4.8 inches display.

This cellphone is equipped with a good level 1024 x 480 4.8 inches display, providing this device with a nice graphical experience. Its display uses TFT capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This phone includes wifi connectivity (although it can't provide it to other devices around, acting as a wireless router) and 3G fast connectivity, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card to use GSM services.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, an 8 megapixels back side camera and a 2 mega-pixels front-facing camera. It is capable of shooting 1280x720 HD videos. This camera also counts with a couple of interesting features: auto-focus, flash, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting and geo tagging.

This device comes with a mid capacity 1500 mAh Li-Polymer removable battery, which is not really enough for a thirsty cellphone like this. This cellphone has a reported 11 hours talk time and a 450 hs stand by time.

This cellphone also comes with a few useful features such as Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Localization, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.
