Acer has announced a new generation of Iconia Duo tablets — the S14, S12, and D12 — alongside two new wearables, the AR Vision GR0 glasses and the GI0 AI glasses. The lineup was originally detailed at Computex in May and is now being confirmed for EMEA markets, including the UAE.
The headline change across all three tablets is the 3:2 aspect ratio, a shape Acer is betting on as the sweet spot between a widescreen media slab and a laptop-style productivity screen. The three models split by screen size, processor, and price point.
Acer Iconia Duo S14: The Big One
The S14 (S14-11M) is the flagship: a 14.2-inch 2.8K OLED panel (2880 x 1840, 120 Hz, 100% DCI-P3) with a 91% screen-to-body ratio. It runs Android 16 on a MediaTek Dimensity 8300, with 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS storage. Two USB Type-C ports with DisplayPort in/out let it double as a portable monitor for a laptop. There’s also a 13 MP rear camera, a 5 MP macro lens, a fingerprint sensor in the power button, Wi-Fi 6E, and quad stereo speakers. Weight: 730 g, thickness: 6.2 mm.
Acer Iconia Duo S12: The Compact Premium Option
The S12 (S12-11M) shares the same 2.8K OLED resolution on a 12.2-inch panel, with 600 nits brightness and nano texture glass that resists both glare and fingerprints. It runs a Dimensity 7400 (also Android 16), 8 GB LPDDR5, and up to 256 GB storage. The chassis is aluminium alloy. Weight: 580 g, thickness: 6.5 mm.
Acer Iconia Duo D12: The Entry Point
The D12 (D12-11M) drops the OLED to a 2400 x 1600 WQXGA display with a 90 Hz refresh rate, powered by a MediaTek Helio G99 with 8 GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 128 GB of storage. It keeps the 3:2 aspect ratio and the microSD slot (all three models support up to 1 TB cards). Weight: 620 g, thickness: 7.5 mm.
All three tablets support an optional Active Stylus, magnetic kickstand, and detachable keyboard, and claim up to 10 hours of battery life.
Acer AR Vision GR0 and GI0 AI Glasses
The AR Vision GR0 (GR100F) are wired AR glasses that project dual micro-OLED FHD screens into the user’s field of view, equivalent to a 172-inch screen from six metres away. They support both 2D and 3D content, work with Android, iOS, and Windows, and weigh 69 g.
The GI0 (GI100) are wireless AI glasses powered by Google Gemini, with a 12 MP camera for hands-free photo and video capture, voice recording, and real-time translation. They connect via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, pair with the Acer AspireSync companion app on Android and iOS, and weigh 46 g (frames only).
