Windows Software updates

Acer had big plans with Windows Phone, but, sadly, everything crumbled to dust when Microsoft decided to stop releasing smartphones. Few companies still launch Windows Phone handsets these days, but it will take a long time until Acer will be among these companies.

The Jade Primo is Acer's latest flagship smartphone, one that runs Windows 10 Mobile. It's got quite decent hardware under the hood considering the Acer released it on the market back in April 2016.

The bad news is the Jade Primo won't be getting the newest Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update, as many other handsets got in the last couple of months (including the HP Elite x3).

The information has been recently confirmed by an Acer spokesperson, who said that the reason behind the decision is the instability of the OS after applying the update.

Unfortunately, the Anniversary Update for the Acer Liquid Jade Primo leads to instability of the OS. The current version is technically flawless and resilient, so we have decided after thorough consideration to refrain from an update. 

We doubt that there will any other major updates coming to Jade Primo in the future, and it's not just Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update.
