Acer Iconia Smart Review

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

Acer Iconia Smart is a bit outdated Android phone launched in February 2011, which features a fast processing unit speeding at 1100 MHz, a big 4.8 inches multi touch screen, and 2 cameras, an 8 megapixels back facing camera and a 2 MP front side camera. Is that all? Not at all, it's just the beginning.

Acer decided to design this phone using a Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM8255 system chip, backed up by a great performance CPU ticking at 1.1 GHz with 512 MB of RAM memory. Collaborating with graphic calculations, this phone also has a 245 megahertz Adreno 205 graphics processing unit. A good advantage of the Acer Iconia Smart is its 8 GB quite big internal storage and an SD extension slot, allowing the user to store a couple hundred apps and games without any problem.

This cellphone is a bit thick compared to current devices, with its 0.54 inches thickness. Even though this phone just has 5.58" long, it's able to fit a a 4.8" screen. The Acer Iconia Smart is a bit heavy comparing to other phones , with a weight of 6.53 oz. This device is only available in black color.

The Acer Iconia Smart includes a nice 1024 x 480 4.8 inches screen, which makes everything look very good. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

This cellphone counts with wi-fi connection (although it can't be shared with other devices acting as a modem) and 3G fast connection type, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a SIM card to use GSM services.

This phone has two cameras, an 8 MP back facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front side camera. This phone can also capture HD 1280x720 videos. This device also features some nice characteristics like flash, auto-focus, face detection shooting, smile detection shooting and geo tagging.

The Acer Iconia Smart packs a medium 1500 mAh Li-Polymer replaceable battery that provides this phone a below average battery life. According to Acer, this device has an aproximate 11 hours talk time and a 450 hs stand by time.

The Acer Iconia Smart also features a couple of cool characteristics as Bluetooth and GPS Geolocation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.
