Acer rumoured to release Windows 10 phones

Four in the works

Acer will be unveiling four new gizmos at IFA 2015, all powered by Microsoft's Windows 10 mobile.

If the rumours are true then Acer is ready to get behind Microsoft's Windows 10 Mobile OS. Other than the rumour there is very little to go on.

It might be the start of a new generation of phones moving away from Android. After all it is not that expensive and works better with PCs in a corporate environment.

Acer has been playing around with the Windows Phone ecosystem by launching the new low-end Liquid M220.

At the time the Liquid launched, Acer said it would bring Windows 10 Mobile to its handsets, so launching a slew of new gear seems like a practical move.

This is odd as Redmond has cut back its mobile division, and is launching only a few Lumia shiny toys each year. The theory is that Microsoft wants other ODMs to fill the gap.

Yeah, Windows Phone has seen very little success, but the Windows 10 version might fare a bit better. Besides it is not as if it is worse than Android and besides it is never going to be that fragmented.

IFA 2015 is taking place this September in Berlin so we expect there will be all sorts of announcements coming from it.
