Design and Build
Released in August 2011, the Acer Iconia Smart was notable for its elongated dimensions of 141.7 x 64.5 x 13.6 mm and a substantial weight of 185 grams. This gave it a solid and hefty feel in hand, which some users might find reassuring in terms of durability. Its design was characterized by a prominent 4.8-inch display, which was considerably large for the time, offering a broader canvas for viewing media and web content. The use of Corning Gorilla Glass as a protective layer was a welcome feature, as it promised resilience against scratches and everyday wear. The phone utilized a Mini-SIM format, which was standard during this period but has since been outmoded by smaller SIM options.
