TylerGrunter, 02 Sep 2015OK, so you create a phone for gaming and add a SoC from a well known brand for cutting on the ... moreYou're absolutely right on the money. Per Mediatek, the Mali-T8xx MP4 GPU in the Helio X20 will offer a 40% improvement over the X10's GPU. That's PATHETIC, considering that my OP1's 18-month-old Adreno 330 GPU is 200% more powerful than the X10's GPU. So way to go, Acer. You designed an embarrassingly gaudy gaming phone that has great CPU and RAM performance but is woefully lacking in the one area that counts.

Oh, and honorable mention for halving the RAM in the device that is more suitable to Android gaming, and for designing your phone to double as a ninja throwing star. 6-figure salaries well earned!

      Why would a gamer want to have a Windows Smartphone?

          Ravi, 02 Sep 2015Havent you played any games other than Angry Birds on Android??Point is that in order for this to be a "gamers' phone", it should run Windows, not this resource hungry, unoptimized mobile OS that is Android.

          That would allow a whole lot of complex games to be played on this device, not just simple phone games.

What part of that do you not get? Your knowledge regarding chip is obviously limited.

                mas39, 02 Sep 2015What a joke! a gamers phone and it features a rubbish deca core mediatek chip, oh that's great... moreYour knowledge is rubbish. SD820 is not ready till next year. SD810 have overheating. This Mediatek Helio X20 is slightly better than Exynos 7420. Meizu latest smartphone is using both at the benchmark is on par with Samsung S6. The Mediatek able to score 70,000 on Antutu.

                    OK, so you create a phone for gaming and add a SoC from a well known brand for cutting on the GPU.
                    And then create a tablet for Gaming and use a SoC from a second well known brand for cutting on the GPU (and add only 2 GB of RAM on top).
                    I really don't get it.

                                      battery size ? Battery life? pricing?
                                      also, does it have a dedicated app for aggregating the games, and making gaming an experience to be truly sort after ?

                                      The so far the pic is not of the real device. Id wait for the hands on of this "beast" before making any comments
