Acer To Return With Slew Of Windows Phones In 2015

While Acer has dabbled in Windows Phone handsets in the past, they have largely stopped producing these devices. In fact last year we heard that Acer wanted to sit by the sidelines and see how the Windows Phone situation turned out before deciding whether or not to jump back into the game.

A report from this year suggested that Acer was interested and now according to Gizbot who managed to speak with Acer officials at their Liquid-series smartphone event, it has been revealed that the company plans to launch a handful of Windows Phone handsets during the first half of 2015.

Assuming the information is accurate, we won’t be surprised if Acer were to take the wraps off some of them during CES or MWC 2015, both of which are important events for companies looking to show off new hardware. It is unclear as to what kind of devices Acer has in mind or when we can expect them to debut specifically, so we guess we’ll just have to wait and find out.

As it stands, Acer has the Allegro as part of its Windows Phone lineup. The device isn’t particularly impressive by any means, at least compared to the likes of those put out by Microsoft, and let’s not forget the HTC One M8 for Windows which packs quite a punch, so hopefully come 2015 Acer will have some better and more impressive hardware for us.
