You may remember back at last years Mobile World Congress, Acer unveiled its Iconia Smart

. As part of the range it falls in the gap between tablets and smartphones, being more pushed to a large sized handset than a small sized slate. Whatever way you look at it, for a smartphone it certainly packs an impressive 4.8-inch display.

As IT Proportal reports, with such a large screen comes the benefits of a cinematic aspect ratio (21:9) with 1024×480 pixels. This screen expanse hasn’t been seen since 2009 with LG’s Chocolate BL40.

Packing an 8-megapixel camera outback with LED flash, and 2-megapixel upfront, the Iconia Smart

takes advantage of its stretched display. Powered by Android 2.3 Gingerbread and a single core Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, the Smart manages 1GHz with 512MB of RAM and 8GB internal storage. Other functions come from microSD slot and Bluetooth along with WiFi and a 1500mAh battery.

Best of all Expansys is selling the Acer smartphone for £210, which makes it a bargain for those looking for a handset with more junk in its trunk. Do you long for a break from the norm when it comes to your next smartphone?
