    Acer Liquid Jade Primo

    Acer Liquid Jade Primo Windows 10 Smartphone Launching Without Promised Peripherals


    Acer officially announced its Windows 10-powered Liquid Jade Primo smartphone, which has USB-C and offers support for Continuum. It’s designed to serve the same role as Microsoft’s own Lumia 950 and 950 XL, which is to say, a high-end handset that can be combined with certain technologies to double as a lightweight productivity machine.
    We reported weeks back that ST Liew, President of Acer's Smartphone Business Group, was effusive in saying that the Liquid Jade Primo would ship with a spate of peripherals -- a keyboard, mouse, docking station and maybe, just maybe, even a monitor. In other words, a full productivity package based on the smartphone and enabled by USB-C and Microsoft technology.
    It would seem with this announcement that Acer has backed off on that pledge significantly. The phone is shipping by itself, apparently, and reading between the lines of the press materials Acer provided, Microsoft’s Display Dock will serve in place of any kind of Acer-made dock.
    Under The Hood

    In any case, the handset has some handsome specs all on its own.

    It’s unfortunate that the Liquid Jade Primo will not be shipping with branded peripherals, although perhaps it’s for the best (a $99 Display Dock and the mouse and keyboard you already have will do fine), or maybe the peripherals are still coming.
    The Liquid Jade Primo is, in any case, a well-appointed Windows 10-powered device, and there are precious few of those on the market at present.


    The smartphone will come first to the EMEA, in February, but it should be available in the U.S. in March. EMEA pricing is €569; there's no word yet on U.S. pricing.

    SlimPort Enables Continuum For Acer Liquid Jade Primo Smartphone Dock


    Although Acer has still not yet released the final details around its high-end Windows 10 for phones handset, the Liquid Jade Primo, another data point has emerged regarding Continuum support for the phone. SlimPort, from Analogix Semiconductor, will enable Continuum support via USB Type-C on the Liquid Jade Primo’s Display Dock.
    We’ve received slightly uneven details about the Display Dock. After a quasi-announcement that the Liquid Jade Primo would ship with multiple peripherals, Acer later walked that back, and it seemed that the phone might ship with none. Then at CES, we saw a prototype of the Display Dock that will come with the phone, and an Analogix rep confirmed that the final version offers the same ports. (It also appears that the device will share the same “Display Dock” name as Microsoft's version.)
    Acer Liquid Jade Primo Display Dock Microsoft Display Dock HP Desk Dock
    Phone Connection USB-C (Charging, data, DisplayPort) USB-C (Charging, data, DisplayPort) USB-C
    Video HDMI only HDMI and DisplayPort DisplayPort
    Data 3x USB (Type A) 3x USB (Type A) 2x USB (Type A)
    Misc. -- -- Ethernet jack
    Power AC adapter USB-C charging port AC adapter

    The Liquid Jade Primo smartphone itself will be equipped with the SlimPort ANX7816 and ANX7418 transmitter and controllers, and the Dock will have ANX7402 controllers and ANX7737 converters. These enable, among other features, DisplayPort out via an Alt Mode and Power Delivery, so that the smartphone can be charged while it’s connected to an external display (whether it’s connected to the Display Dock or directly to a USB Type-C-equipped monitor.)
    The Acer gear joins the Microsoft Lumia 950 and its Display Dock, as well as HP’s Elite X3 smartphone and HP Desk Dock, as adopters of the smartphone-as-PC (enabled by Continuum) paradigm. Canonical has its own Ubuntu Core-powered version of the concept, which impressed us at Mobile World Congress.
