Acer F1 full review - 1Ghz Snapdragon - General Topics

After many searches in google, i have finally found a review (made by [email protected]) of Acer´s 1 ghz Snapdragon pocketpc.
It seems a good (and cheaper) competitor to HTC Leo and Toshiba TG01...
Original in russian
English translation by Google

Network: GSM / GPRS / EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), WCDMA / HSDPA (850/1900/2100 MHz),

Tri-Band HSDPA including ATT 850 ?? Can that be right ?

Wow! the SPB benchmark index numbers are much better than the Leo. Very impressive on Acer's part.
Acer F1 (Leo)
Spb Benchmark index
2055.57 (1597.12)
CPU index
6875.36 (6494.18)
File system index
1006.03 (747.02)
Graphics index
2308.95 (1988.03)
Hopefully the Leo's performance will increase when beta testing of the software is complete

Hmm, as someone not very familiar with SPB Benchmark software, would anyone mind telling me if having an increase of 400-500 points is a significant improvement or is it in actuality just a small improvement?

I confirm 720p video playback.Battery is good.

I wouldn't say it's significant, but enough for you to take notice. Another thing to be aware is the fact that (i think) the released TG01 has OGLES2.0 software whereas the Leo in beleforte's testing was a OGLES1.1. Once the Leo is released with the final software, I'm sure both of their numbers will be somewhat identical as they run on the same hardware.

This has been renamed to Acer neoTouch. The only thing missing from this phone is lack of ROM support

I know how you feel but I just ordered on today. AT&T 3g was what tipped the boat in Acer's favor.

get ready for custom ROMs for F1.. ..this might take a while..may b a weeks time..

Thanks for posting this link chocula81 - I'd been looking everywhere for a review. I guess your Google skills are much better than mine.
I'm seriously tempted by this phone as it's so much cheaper here in the UK than the Omnia II, not to mention the TG01 and the Leo. More importantly, it's available right now too!
I think the lack of short term support is going to make me wait though, especially as it seems to lack a reasonable TouchFlo alternative.
I hope Acer sell a truck load of these at HTC's expense so that the latter has to drop their sim free prices ; )

I see. Thank you very much.

Acer NeoTouch vs. HD2 I can see how there can be a comparison...but after watching both videos the HD2 is far and away the better phone for its lack of windows screens (ugly white screens with text aka SMS page) and its responsiveness. You clearly see the difference between Capacitive and Resistive screens if anything during the slide to unlock sequences. Both phones are running snapdragon and it still seemed like the HD2 was light years ahead in terms of fluidity of the total device. But I will say, for the price the NeoTouch is one helluva device, and if this site backed it, it would be a powerhouse of a device

Expansys usa added 100+ acer f1 to there stock, il be buying one very soon.
Edit: i miss read and also call them, they said they will have 100+ acer f1 in stock in 6 days or more ><, guess il have to wait.

Does this definatly have a 1ghz cpu as I have seen in diffrent sites that it has a 850mhz cpu,.

it's kind of ugly to me...it looks like a game console hhaha
According to PDADB.net the 6500 has the qualcomm MSM7200 graphic controller http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=734&view=1
maybe we can get the graphic drivers from it
uh i wouldn't even take it for free. it's really ugly
"maybe we can get the graphic drivers from it "
if htc dident want to pay for the qualcomm driver
for their other devices whats make you think they will
start with this one?

Point taken. Maybe the license is for a single model. Can never say with the big corporations. I mentioned this as I saw it on www.pdadb.net that it uses the graphic accelerator provided by Qualcomm.
Looking at how the TomTom software runs,
I can say its a lot more smoother than the TyTN in that infamous youtube video
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIJWAu6IRe4 )
I'll try and compare my Hermes with the Sedna tonight and get it up on youtube when i get back from work if you guys want.

HAHA. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
its not that ugly! may be a bit bigger than the usual pda...
I had it in my own hands at Cebit in Germany and it's really huge! You can't compare it to a standard-sized modern pda-phone. It's rather a barcode scanner-sized pda and one of the ugliest I ever saw. The technology is nice though.

It all depends on the licensing terms. Its possible that HTC has the rights to install the drivers on a certain number of model because of what they paid. If they paid more for the license, they'd probably be able to get it on one more model.

Additionally, the Sirius is being specifically marketed as a platform that can support a variety of job-adapted and specific applications- maybe they decided it was worthy of the video drivers? *hopeful*
The P6500 definately has something that the Kaiser does not in the graphical subsystem management department. I hope we can use this to fix the kaiser

I'm fairly certain the reason behind the no-drivers thing is actually Broadcom. Their patent (link: http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6847686.html) over video acceleration in mobile "convergence devices" is the source of an injunction (pdf link: http://www.broadcom.com/docs/press/12-31-07_Permanent_Injunction_Order.pdf ) against Qualcomm. The injunction specifically names the MSM7500 and 7200. Qualcomm would only make the situation worse by releasing software that enables these features when it currently isn't even enabled. Is the P6500 being marketed in the US? If it's not, maybe that's why they're enabling the acceleration in it and not other models.
honestly i dont think it is being offered in the us, the only retailers i have found -- all coorporate btw--- have been from italy and from the u.K (branded to the 0range network i think). I have also heard of it being sold in india aswell.
This is probably why it is so darn difficult to get a hold of
www.htcphonestore.com has it.

It is generally available SIM free unlocked in the UK, even high street retailers have it in on tottenham ct road in london. Plenty of online places have it as well without Orange tie ins
I've had one for about a week for evaluation and it isn't too bad and isn't as bis as some people seem to make out (smaller than say an opened E90).

That is correct mate
It's very interesting info and discussion about on Murtazin's blog, seems we will see WM7 leaked ROM's very soon
Yeah, Beasty told me also
Hope soon we can have it ported to our beloved Uni´s!
Porting seems to be somewhat problematic, seeing minimum requirements for WM7 is 1Ghz processor. Whether it means we'll have to be happy with 'the look' of WM7, as in themes that resemble the OS, or scaled down version of OS remains to be seen.
"Tomal... when are you going to be doing the service for upgrading our Uni's to 1GHz?"
1Ghz it's not the minimum to run WM7, custom roms will be running on some oldest devices too

Cool phone! I am using Galaxy tab to Android but my phone HTC diamond crashed before few months and my primary phone now is crappy Nokia 3100 I am seriously thinking about this, I love iOS view and I love Android options! I am in love with that phone!!!!
Processor: Qualcom MSM7227
Display reulotion: WVGA screen, 320*480 ==> how come WVGA similar to 320*480?
Battery: Built-in Li-on battery, 1350mAh
Built-in Memory: 512MB ROM / 256MB RAM
about the processor, it's the same with my galaxy ACE, but mine runs at 800 MHz (default). if u checked at pdadb.net, those series will have default clock at 600 MHz, i doubt if it can run on 1 Ghz
the rest of specs are the same with galaxy ace
259.99 USD? it is 170 USD marked in the site!(999RMB)
I skimmed through the video, it seems fake.
where in that video does it show it's an android phone?

I think you need to take a look at different Chinese smartphones - there're a lot of dual-sim models among them.

Not Really, I have the Star N9770 and for the price it is very nice. I am just not happy with the 16000k color screen, but it can play every game on the market, is super fast and with heavy use I get a day and a half on 1 battery, normal use 3 days.

Yeah for sure, unfortunately I could not find a dual sim with 16 million colors yet, but still looking hard. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 also, but as I mentioned its sorta pointless for me to have it as I have to carry around 2 phones, so thats the reason why im looking for something that comes close to the S4 with dual sim.

Both phones soooo sweet, but im in South Africa, so those 2 will cost me a small fortune. For instance I bought a 2011 Macbook pro second hand for about R3000 and each of those will cost me close to R5000 and up, not to expensive considering the Galaxy S4's price, but yeah the wife and daughter is in the front of the line each month. lol.
You can look HERE for info. This is the one I'm using now, Very happy with the performance. The phone is one 3 days old and I've yet to explore it features.

I received my phone in 2 weeks time and good working condition. However, the spec of the phone is not according to what I've placed. The OS is 4.2.1 instead of 4.2.2 (latest) and phone is also not rooted.
After emails, I've a 4.2.2 from their tech-support. Managed to flash this on my phone and also done the rooting process.
For this company, there are good and bad comments on their style of running. I buy from them as I can use paypal for payment. If things turn up bad, I can always ask for a refund.

Elephone Vowney, MTK6795, 2K Screen, 4GB RAM, Android 5.1, 20.7MP Camera, 4G/LTE

A new high-end flagship is on the way from Elephone - the Elephone Vowney with Windows/Android OS.
It combines elegant design with super specs.
Elephone Vowney is their 2K Flagship 2015. Because of the pretty high specs, the price is also expected to be a little higher than we normally see from Elephone, but the price ratio should be okay.
The model comes in 2 versions. Version A or B. The model offering either Windows 10 or Android 5.0 Lollipop
The specifications:
- 64-bit MTK6795 CPU Octa Core
- Windows/Android OS
- 5.5 inch 2K (2560 x 1440) resolution display
- 4 GB RAM + 32 GB ROM
- Firmware Android 5.1
- Support for 4G/LTE
- Support for microSD cards
- 20.7MP rear camera + 8MP front camera
- Equipped 3850mAh battery
- NFC
- Press touch ID
- Android 5.1 (Lollipop) OS and CM12 Support
- Colours: Black, White & Gold?

I wonder if Version B/Pro will really come with a Moorefield SoC, because not even the ZenFone 2 has a Windows 10 ROM and I think the Imagination GPU doesn't have drivers for Windows.

This would be amazing if true but exceedingly unlikely: perhaps an Atom X5 doesn't generate too much heat when crammed into a phablet-sized device? I'd pay upwards of $400 for a developer-friendly phablet with Intel HD (Broadwell/Gen8, not PowerVR) graphics. I've been waiting for a Linux-friendly Intel powered phone since before Bay Trail, and I may still be waiting a year from now unless my above fantasy pans out.
I've got Elephone P7000, it is good phone, I am really looking forward to Elephone Vowney phone.
What is the weight of Elephone Vowney
Hello,
I got confused about the weight of this phone, on website says it is 650 grams, then it will be very heavy to carry. So kindly somebody can explain some details about the exact weight of this otherwise excellent mobile.
Is the chip ' 64-bit MTK6795 CPU Octa Core' processor is faster than or equelent to Snapdragon 810?
Thanking You

I dont think windows rom support is correct. its not memtioned in the highlites
Am wondering about the cm12.1 support. Does this mean the sources will be out?
would be cool if the device tree is reusable to build a pletora of custom roms. Then this can have a device forum right?
would be awesome.

dunno about its power efficiency though. may perform better but suck more juice.
for me the lte support would be important as well as custom roms capability

I saw the weight on website but I saw specs on other sites and it shows 169g. I don't think it could be 650g which more than half kg :laugh:
Assalamu Alaikum(Peace from to all), my friend from Pakistan,
I am not differentiating the members of this forum according to their nationality, but for an Indian it is special when a reply comes from his Pakistani brother, that is all
Thank you very much for the reply,
When I read about the weight of the phone in one website, I had a bigger smiley of course on my face, and I thought it may be wrong also, as nobody can carry such a phone with them.I want to confirm it before ordering , otherwise the spec as so impressive, so I am waiting for its release. So your reply is a great assistance to me.
Thanks

How good is Elephone at putting out updates? Any feeling on how long it will take Elephone to upgrade its phones to Android M?
Sir I told you about the weight. It was mention 650g maybe because of auto correct or spell mistake. I confirmed the weight which is 169g. You can order the phone which is going to release on 20th june.
stay happy

the updates are frequent and quicker because they don't have millions of customer like samsung. If they give M upgrade then you will get before Samsung S6 pretty sure.

I just noticed on elephone.cc that it's now saying the 20th of August for the release date. I suppose that makes sense, at least for the Vowney Pro/version B (the one that dual boots Windows 10 and Android) since Windows 10 isn't supposed to be out until the end of July anyhow. I really hope the Pro has an Atom X5 and US LTE band support, because Elephone is the only OEM so far that has gotten me this close to being excited about my dream x86 developer phone finally being made!
Well, most preliminary information I've seen indicate that this phone will have an Atom Z3580 SoC, which contains a PowerVR GPU. Since I'm unlikely to ever get a phone, even a phablet, with tablet-class graphics, let alone one that has open source driver support for running Linux, I just gave up on getting this one and ordered myself a 64GB/4GB RAM ASUS ZenFone 2 ZE551ML, which should be arriving tomorrow. It may even be cheaper than importing a Vowney Pro at this point. I of course would love to be wrong.
Elephone Vowney is Elephone flagship phone?
They have a dedicated page for it now: http://www.elephone.cc/elephone-vowney.html
I wish it wasnt soo big! I want a 5.2" device....come one people!
they give a discount to the people who bought one of the first 5000 elephone p8000 without led.
Did we know anything about, did we know when it will be out?
Doesnt look like this will work with ATT due to bands right?
How is Windows going to run on that SoC?
