To start you can charge the battery, if necessary adds a one or two Microsimkarten.
The latter was not so easy. With the included tiny jab to the side door could be moved only after 6.Versuch for coming out.
On the software side it is set language, country, network connection, connect to Google + account, completed the basic setup.
The memory can be expanded with Micro SD cards. Unfortunately really only as indicated up to 32GB.
A Transcend 64GB card was not recognized and reported as faulty SD card, with smaller it worked without any problems.
When Acer many apps and widgets are already installed, here is recommended only once to clean up, because so the 16GB of internal memory are only 11 free.
A bit annoying is when the Acer apps that you are constantly encouraged to apply an Acer ID and online to connect, similar to the Google Apps own ..
Apart from the size, it hardly differs from other smartphones with Android 4.4.4. Update to Android 5 upwards is not yet available.
The touchscreen is extremely sensitive to motion and also leaves etc. is nice and smooth.
With iPhone and touch it but can not keep up, they feel a bit softer on.
Similarly the display. A great size, which brings video well and smoothly advantage.
The colors are beautiful neutral, just a bit pale and black values are not in the benchmark IPS.
Just back compared to iPhone and touch the latter have significantly more vivid yellows and reds.
The point of view is it quite stable and it remains readable even in bright environments.
For the performance, I like to take the game Minion Rush.
Rather a no-brainer, but is perfect for cross-platform to compare many performance aspects.
When loading the Iconia needs noticeably longer, the game itself is running apart from rare micro stuttering liquid.
The response to swiping is sufficiently fast.
The graph shows lightweight podium training, in other apps is not the way.
Whether this is a mistake of Minion Rush or if the resolution had to be reduced for performance reasons I do not know.
The sound of the built-in speaker is well understood, but a bit tinny at high frequency.
For voice and video chats more than adequate.
They play music with decent volume, distortion-free, but you have to search for bass.
Much better is the sound through the headphone output. Here only show high-resolution music material and the upper frequency ranges to the limits.
Most clearly notice the extremely reasonable price of the Iconia to the cameras.
Video chatting and snapshots more than ok, also solve quickly.
The pictures are out there but very noisy even in daylight and have chromatic aberrations.
Decreases for Facebook and the like you can still live with it, beyond Iconia can not replace real digicam.
The battery is strong as an ox for a phablet.
Almost 50% stronger than the iPhone 6+. In normal use, I'll be so good 2 days out without load.
As with any device with a large display can display intensive use in conjunction with high 3D computing power but reduce from days to hours.
Conclusion. A giant smartphone, the Touch or iPhone + Although the water may not be enough for many cases but is ready and pleasure enough.
Especially for the extremely reasonable price. For speakers and cameras, I would have deducted a star in total, but the Dualsimfähigkeit is worth a Exrastern me and makes up for it.
