Located at the back is the huge 'Windows Phone' moniker which may be outdated since the Windows 10 inception, Cherry Mobile's logo, a small speaker grille at the bottom left near the center, and the protruding 8-megapixel rear camera that sits at the top with an accompanying LED flash beside it. Is it the best budget Windows device to get this summer season? Among the long list new devices that Acer announced in line with this year’s IFA is the Acer Jade Primo, a device that is being billed by the Taiwanese firm as both a PC and smartphone rolled into a 5.5-inch phablet.
