like the old saying goes there's more than one way to do Windows on mobile and the latest very shiny iteration comes from Acer I'm Michael Fisher with PocketNow and this is a first look at the Acer Jade Premo brought to you by D brand it may be new to the hands-on scene but the Acer Jade primo is actually one of the first Windows 10 mobile phones announced back at Aoife 2015 a few months back this is the first chance we've had to go hands-on though and the Primeau does pack a surprise or two within its familiar shell on the downside this is a lot like other Acer phones we've seen over the years plastic build with a faux metallic hairline finish and super gloss coating very lightweight and thin construction and speakers that look a lot like sink drains it's okay it's not bad but not much more than that and it's hardly the kind of top-notch industrial design that a new platform like Windows 10 mobile needs to make a splash but you know what the bar hasn't been set terribly high by the competition at least not yet so if you're looking for something that at least looks a bit higher end the Jade Primo might be your game and it's not just looks just as it does on the Lumia 950 the Snapdragon 808 processor runs Windows 10 mobile like a champ here it doesn't hurt that it's backed up by three gigs of RAM which will likely help it when running continuum it's one of a very few phones to do so at this point on Windows factory in a 21 megapixel camera LTE category 6 and an absolutely gorgeous 5 and 1/2 inch Super AMOLED display at full HD and it's tough not to get excited about this phone if you're a fan of Windows 10 mobile Acer says the specs are subject to change depending on market and it's unclear at this point whether the phone will support things like Windows hello price and availability stateside are similarly TBD we'll look forward to learning more there's more coming from Pocket now at CES 2016 including more from the Windows Mobile Kamp stay tuned both here on YouTube and at pocketnow.com until next time this has been Michael Fischer with high auto Houston behind the camera thanks for watching we'll see you next time
