Acer Unleashes Monster Phone and Projector Designed for Gamers
Acer’s new gaming phone and gaming projector are big, powerful and designed from the ground up for gamers. The company announced the Predator 6 gaming phone Predator Projector at the IFA tech trade show on Wednesday.
What makes a the Predator 6 a phone for gamers? First, it has a huge 6-inch display. Second, it’s packing a 10-core processor by MediaTek. Even the best smartphones today top out at 8-cores.
It’s got 4GB of RAM to help speed along game loading times and performance and on the back is a 21-megapixel camera.
Any way you slice it, the Predator 6 is a beast of a smartphone.
The phone’s also got four front-facing speakers, the same as on Acer’s Predator 8 gaming tablet, and powerful haptic feedback when used in portrait position. Acer says the vibrations are just like those on a gaming controller.
From the looks of it, all that power and gamer-focus, does come at a cost: a bulky design. The phone has bold sharp edges, a far cry from the svelte metal and glass designed of the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6.
Mobile gaming not your thing? Then you may be interested in the Predator Projector, a gaming projector that can throw a 120-inch projection onto a wall.
The beauty to this projector is that it’s an ultra short-throw one, meaning it can be placed really close to a wall a still project a huge screen.
Acer didn’t announce pricing or availability for either Predator devices.
