Acer unveiled a bunch of new products ahead of Computex in Taipei. The Taiwanese company will have quite a few new devices on display at the show, though we’re not sure whether all of them will reach the Western hemisphere.
In total, we have 5 new Android KitKat smartphones from Acer and a smart band. Unfortunately though none of these devices are high-end and we expect them to be rather affordable. Let’s briefly go through each one of devices Acer has announced, shall we.

Additionally, you’ll also be able to see the current time and weather information on that petite display, as well as control your music.
