Acer had a 4.8-inch phone at CES, apparently – we didn’t check it out because we previously had no idea. It doesn’t have a name yet and its software wasn’t yet ready for sharing. It sounds like it could be a pretty nice experience as it was described as having a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. (We assume it’ll be a current generation variant.) It’ll also apparently sport a 1,024×480 resolution and is formed of some sort of metal.
Acer wasn’t yet ready to discuss release plans, but you can expect it in the United States with one rep hinting toward Verizon alongside their Iconia tablet, says Engadget. Hit their link for more pictures of the unit.
