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!

Im just blown away. This years ifa and more to come is better then sex. For the first time im speechless. I want it all. I want predator 8 and 6. i want new huawei mate s. even nexus 2015. haha like in candyshop. But how can u decide. Helio x20 or intel x7. Hell i want possible future conversion on predator 8 to win 10 if it can be done???? Or dual boot. Hell i want it ALL. This is madness 2016 will be even bigger. How can one decide Helio x20. Intel x7. Intel mobile M!!!!!!!!!! windows continuum with possible intel x7 dual usage not dual boot but having all in windows 10 phone. Now even windows phone os is attractive. Snapdragon 820, 625, 425. galaxy s7. i will have some big problems to decide what to get lol

Why would a gamer want to have a Windows Smartphone?
A lot of games don't even make their way to Windows Phone...

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.

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.
