Acer unveiled its new Windows 10 flagship smartphone, the Acer Liquid Jade Primo, at CES 2016 today. The device comes with a 5.5-inch, FullHD (1920 x 1080 pixels) AMOLED display with curved Gorilla Glass on top, as well as the Snapdragon 808 SoC. The chip is supported by 3 GB of RAM.

The handset comes with 32 GB of on-board storage (partly taken by the operating system), expandable via micro-SD memory card slot. Other features include an USB Type-C connector, as well as Microsoft’s Continuum technology support.
