The unit is reasonably smooth for the company seems to be framing a relatively low-end phone. At its center is a brilliant, brilliant 3.8-inch AMOLED display Super.

The Sol runs on Android 2.3 with a single-core processor running at 1 GHz – whose company points out should be good for those who do not do heavy work on the thing. He certainly handled that we could throw at it in our hands now. The handset is slim and light enough compared to the Optimus 2x , which outside the big four-inch display, seems quite similar.

Other features include a 13.3-inch screen (1366 x 768), ultra low voltage core i3, i5 and i7, a choice of solid-state storage or hard drive, Bluetooth 4.0 and a background without evacuation so you’re not left with first-degree burns. Depending on the configuration, the battery life is designed for a maximum of seven hours or up to 50 days in standby mode. Until now, we just hear European prices (€ 799 to € 1,199), even if Acer confirms it will arrive stateside by the end of September.
