Acer CloudMobile Review

0. phoneArena posted on 04 Oct 2012, 07:36

At long last, the Acer CloudMobile has arrived at our office, waiting to be subjected to our thorough review treatment. For those who have forgotten, this smartphone was announced right before MWC 2012 kicked off, or about 7 months ago. Back then, we got the chance to play with it for a while, and we were quite satisfied with what Acer had crafted – a pretty 4.3-incher with a potent processor, stunning display, and a built-in cloud service called AcerCloud. But after all that time, would the smartphone be competitive on the market now that other companies have identical offerings at a similar price point?...

Could been a wonderful phone if it would have been released earlier and had more memory

a lot of drawbacks for my liking and no real USP .... only plus i find is the design.... yet nothing u can't get at that price.... with the more established sony's and the sammy's and the htc's knocking at the door.....

I agree with you.. Even in Design wise Xperia T/TX looks awesome than this.. iPhonearena Ratings sucks..

Sony deserves more than they get from iPhonearena..

iPhone 5 got 9.5.. :O

...and deserved an 8-8.5 at best

This site is not in the center of its assessments. Therefore I always will discard this site.

GSMarena is much more central in their assessments and fair, and thy can

But this phone seems very good.

bear in mind that this phone is a lot cheaper compare with xperia T, so why wouldn't it get a better score when it have same performance & lower price tag?

8. toondewachter posted on 04 Oct 2012, 12:18 3

May I remind you of the fact that the Sony Xperia T actually got 8? Which is not that bad at all, is it?

And secondly: this phone will be for sale for €289.99 here in Belgium, while the Xperia T goes for €519... Now I like Sony, but this is an enormous price difference. So there might be a few drawbacks, but none of them are deal breakers to me.

The camera's quality seems to be ok, not wow, but ok.
The music player is replaceable: who is going to listen to music from the cloud anyway?
Sony's call quality was given very bad reviews by numerous reviewers on the web. I suppose that a loud earpiece and some artificial voices is at least evenly good.

Considering the price point, I think this phone is a winner!

If Xperia Arc /Arc S was produced by Apple i am sure Acer cloud would be in trouble for "Tarde Dress" theft.

For a fair review of a phone i always look at gsmarena as they are less biased in my opinion.

And months ago when phonearena came out with a preview news of this phone, a lot said its ugly.. well looky here! its sexy...

6. Nathan_ingx posted on 04 Oct 2012, 09:34 3

Oh man...i was expecting much better. As i went from page 1-4, my interest for the phone went 'Wow-good-ok-ouch'!

7. SleepingOz posted on 04 Oct 2012, 10:30 4

Same for me, I was planning to get this as my secondary phone but not anymore. Still a sexy device though.

For a new move into phones not bad at all!
7.5 seemed kind of harsh given Acer Cloud is an additional free function, not one you have to use, say like none expandable memory, lemming maps, purple pictures, dents and scratches or none removable battery. Points to the above mentioned 9.5.

11. flexile posted on 04 Oct 2012, 17:28

Is this phone cheap? If so, a 7.5 is pretty harsh. I'll have to consider this phone for my next buy...it will be either Xperia V or Acer CM. I honestly love the design of this one. I'll never use cloud services and I can download a music player from the Play Store.

it is cheap compare to it's competitive like what acer phone used to be :)

13. pankajgupta posted on 05 Oct 2012, 02:45

looks like Xperia Neo??

an year behind Sony ? :)

17. jbn23 posted on 08 Oct 2012, 23:30

i also noticed that when it was first announced..neo is sexy and acer adapts that design..i guess:)

19. robcar posted on 15 Oct 2012, 10:59

Looks much much better then Neo...

20. f.begbie posted on 19 Oct 2012, 16:27

dont be stupid! Look at the acer A1 Liquid with this very same design a lot before even sony started to get interested in android business.

14. Plaisir009 posted on 05 Oct 2012, 03:18

Please tell me there is a YouTube review of this phone?

16. flexile posted on 06 Oct 2012, 10:13

Yes, it should be on the review or look on their channel.

21. f.begbie posted on 19 Oct 2012, 16:37 1

im not sure what is your problem with the phone, but best screen for 4,3 size, best available 2 core chipset on board, nice looking and ergonomic.
The camer could have been better but the new sony T with the 13Mpx camera cannot make a real difference.

An i really don't understand why should anyone care about the preinstalled apps. And why does it important in a review that the music app is not the best since almost noone use stock apps. Its like reviewin a car by it's color...
