14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft's Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL won't be the only Windows 10 Mobile flagship smartphones available on the market, as at least one OEM confirmed the upcoming release of a high-end device powered by the new version of Windows Phone.
Acer Jade Primo is another flagship smartphone that comes preloaded with Windows 10 Mobile right out of the box. The handset will soon be available for purchase in Europe for around €500 outright.
However, the Jade Primo was initially Acer's flagship smartphone powered by Android OS, not Windows 10.
For some reason, the company has decided that it's better to focus on the Windows 10 version of the smartphone before launching an Android flagship smartphone, TIME reports.
It looks like Acer was sold on the Continuum idea and decided that it can't miss the opportunity of being one of the first companies to offer a product compatible with Microsoft's interesting feature.
Microsoft might have worked its charm, too, when trying to sell Windows 10 Mobile to Acer. The bottom line is the Jade Primo will be the third Windows 10-powered flagship smartphone soon to be available on the market.
Acer has already demoed Continuum on its Jade Primo, so you can watch the video and decide for yourself if the decision to focus on Windows 10 Mobile was worth it.
