Acer bundles the Liquid Jade Primo 5.5-inch Windows 10 phone with a keyboard, a dock (with USB ports), and a mouse, for P28,990. When the Jade Primo is slid into the dock, and the comes-with keyboard and mouse (and your own monitor) are connected, you get a PC-like set up (via Continuum) running Windows 10 universal apps. While many flagship phones are sold around the P29k price point, the Acer Jade Primo is unique in that it’s a phone-package both for fun and productivity.

The Phone-into-PC experience
With a USB Type-C monitor, wireless display accessories or the Display Dock, the Acer Liquid Jade Primo can provide a PC-like experience on an external display with Windows 10 universal apps. This set up makes us of Continuum, a feature of Windows 10 that turns a Windows 10 phone into a PC by connecting it to a monitor.
Here are more details:
- The phone can be used as a touchpad and virtual keyboard, or a mouse and keyboard can be connected, for a more familiar desktop PC work experience.
- The Liquid Jade Primo can connect to any TV or monitor at hotels or anywhere. It seems targeted at on-the-go executives who are unable or do not wish to bring heavier laptops.
- One can also project presentation decks to a projector or large screen while displaying the “Presenter View” on the Acer Liquid Jade Primo, or play videos on the TV while using other apps simultaneously.
Don’t Forget the Cameras
The Acer Liquid Jade Primo also has a good pair of cameras – 21MP f/2.2 rear and 8MP f/2.2 wide angle front. Below is the rear camera, and 5.5-inch AMOLED display, in action.
