The pocket PC, named as Jade Primo, packs support for Microsoft's Continuum which is a feature that identifies the type of Windows device the person is using and configures the operating system accordingly. When it is connected to a display, it gives a desktop-like Windows 10 experience and is even complete with all the privacy concerns. It's very useful for those who needs to take their work and desktop environment out of the office anytime.
Shipped along the high-tech device is a suite of accessories that include a dock, keyboard, and wireless mouse. Jade Primo basically serves as the user's main smartphone and turns into a PC when it is docked using a seamless switch powered by the Continuum. It is also reported to have the capability to run Windows 10 universal apps and x86-based apps that have been converted for devices that make use of ARM processors, as noted in BGR.
With regards to the specs, the phablet isn't short of impressive. Gearburn reports that Acer's first Windows 10 pocket filler is packed with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8o8 S0C, a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED screen with 100 percent NTSC color saturation and has a 1080p full HD resolution. It sports a 21-megapixel main camera and 8-megapixel front camera for selfies and video chat.
As of the moment, Acer has not divulged details yet regarding the release date and pricing. But one thing is certain, the pocket PC dream is going to be available soon.
