Liquid gold? We received the production model of the 5.7-inch Acer Liquid S1 phablet two months after the pre-production one. But we have noticed more than just improvements. Will the Acer phablet receive a purchase recommendation?

Big brother. The Taiwanese manufacturer surpasses its S1 model with the latest Acer Liquid S2. The smartphone is equipped with a Full HD screen, a fast Snapdragon 800 processor and a 13 MP camera, which can even record UHD videos. This places it comfortably in the high-end category. The price for this hardware is high, as is to be expected.
Source: V3.co.uk

The Acer Liquid S2 is undoubtedly the firm's most interesting smartphone to date and manages to challenge the Galaxy Note 3 in screen quality and processing power. Although the handset ships with an older version of Google's Android mobile operating system, we found Acer's largely vanilla user interface pleasant to use, perhaps more so than the overbearing custom user interfaces often found on other handsets with similar specifications.

Acer has worked hard to make the Liquid S2 different, with features like 4K video recording and a suite of floating apps. But some more exciting apps and better large-screen usability, for example, would be welcome.

Although there’s always a little shock when you pick up a new phablet for the first - after using your conventional smartphone for so long - the Acer Liquid S2’s overall look and feel was pretty impressive. Making a smartphone that is as big as the Liquid S2 (166 x 86 x 9 mm) look good is no mean feat, but I think Acer has managed it.

Acer Liquid Z3 Duo
Not everyone wants a big screen smartphone. Some prefer a smaller device which can easily fit in their pockets without making it look like there is a hump on your leg. The Acer Liquid Z3 Duo is made just for these people. Despite its smaller size, the Acer Liquid Z3 Duo does not comprise on toughness. It has a solid framework and a soft touch coated back gives a nice feeling when held.
Specifications wise, the Acer Liquid Z3 Duo is nothing to be awed by. However, it gives the basic functionalities that is needed for a smartphone. The dual core MediaTek A7 1 GHz processor is an average processor that will allow most applications to run somewhat smooth but won’t be able to support high requirement games. The phone also has 512 MB of RAM, which is rather low, but sufficient for casual users and 4 GB of internal memory which can be topped up by using an external micro SD card.
The Acer Liquid Z3 Duo has a neat little feature that allows up to 2 sim cards to be used. A thing to note, the sim cards have to be full-sized SIM cards. The device also supports HSPA+ but does not support 4G LTE aside from WiFi and Bluetooth.
In a nutshell, the Acer Liquid Z3 Duo is a phone that provides all basic functions but does nothing more than that.

Cheap. A 3.5-inch screen, 4 GB memory and a dual-core CPU - this small entry-level smartphone from Acer is neither a performance nor connectivity powerhouse, but it does offer a full-blown Android phone for less than 100 Euros (~$137). Is this smartphone worth the relatively meager investment? Find out in our in-depth review.

While the Acer Liquid Z3 has its moments of value, overall the sub-£100 phone doesn't do enough against rivals. The Nokia Lumia 520 or Vodafone Smart 3 would make a better purchase.

Affordable mid-range. Acer's Liquid Z5 jumps on the bandwagon of 5-inch smartphones and catches attention at first glance with a price of 170 Euros (~$234). But what does it have to offer?

Overall the Acer Liquid Z5 is a fair proposition for those looking for a large scale screen on a budget. On that front it earns its place as a contender in the sub-£100 market and there's nothing significant at fault. Hard to argue with that.

The Acer Liquid Z5 is a low-cost phone with a very large screen, given the price. However, it is a phone that seems to trade away some important things for a few eye-catching gimmicks, such as the rear button. With a low-res screen, we can't imagine many people picking this phone over the superior Motorola Moto G.

A tasty mix in a restrained casing that will not only be interesting for corporate customers.

Acer Liquid Jade
Good, simple and budget friendly phones are becoming more of a trend for manufacturers these days. Acer has jumped into the bandwagon with the Acer Liquid Jade Android smartphone. It is one of the best looking smartphones from Acer with curved edges and sleek corners. It even looks premium in some ways with the faux-metal trim but not so much when seen from the back as its back cover is slightly plasticky . The handset measures at 140.5 mm x 69 mm x 7.5 mm and weighs in at a very light 110 g.
The Acer Liquid Jade comes with dual sim capabilities but doesn't support 4G networks. Being a new model without LTE support is a shame as this makes it not so future proof. The phone is equipped with a Mediatek MT6582 Quad-core 1.3 GHz processor coupled with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory, upgradeable with a memory card. This is by far one of the most disappointing hardware for a mid range smartphone. Like most of its rivals, it has a 5 inch 720p IPS display with 294 ppi protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3, which is good enough for the average user.
The back camera with LED flash has a resolution of 13 MP, which is high enough for a mid range smartphone. The same unit is also capable of recording FHD videos. The 2 MP front facing camera will disappoint all selfie enthusiasts. The Acer comes with a 2100 mAh battery, which suggest average standby time. All in all, the Acer Liquid Jade is a good looking mid range smartphone with a weak hardware. However, its low selling price makes up for this all.

There were several aspects of the Acer Liquid Jade that really made us smile. The first is the camera; it’s very reliable and consistent, and images come out well enough to peddle on your social network of choice. The battery life was also pretty good, and the host of power-saving features gave us even more confidence in its ability to get you through a day. Acer’s small Float apps are a neat addition too, despite being a tad niche.

On the whole, we weren’t quite sure what to make of the Acer Liquid Jade. It does everything you’d want a smartphone to do and there’s nothing necessarily wrong with the phone, but it feels there’s nothing so great about it either. Everything works, but it lacks a standout feature. The display is certainly the strongest aspect of the device, and for £159 it’s good, with crisp colours and a strong 294 PPI level, but other areas let it down.

The 1GB RAM, 8GB model costs £180 and the 2GB RAM, 16GB version costs £200, and the Acer Liquid Jade fills a currently underserved price point in the Android ecosystem. Offering reasonable performance, a decent display and a pretty good rear camera, there is plenty to like about the handset.

The Acer Liquid Jade might looks and feel quite premium but at the end of the day it's a let-down in terms of performance. It might be one of the best phones Acer has produced but it ultimately outpaced by some even cheaper phones – namely the Motorola Moto G in its various models.

The Acer Liquid Jade is the best looking smartphone to come from the company so far. The design is lightweight and slim, while offering a display that might not sport the highest of resolutions, but at its large 5-inch scale that makes light work of video playback and the like. Its 13-megapixel camera is one of its better features, with a dedicated app that offers more features than stock Android. Even without fiddling with the settings you'll get a decent shot with ease. The Acer Float interface is also a helpful addition for multi-tasking.

What matters to you most in a phone? If it's a decent camera, a long-lasting standby mode or the ability to use two SIMs in one handset then get the Acer Liquid Jade near the top of your shortlist. In all other respects - value, design, performance - the phone manages to do okay, but not much more than that. It's definitely Acer's best phone yet, however, and at this kind of price level it's perhaps unfair to moan too much about its shortcomings.

Acer Liquid Jade S
From the laptop producer Acer, comes a mid range smartphone named Acer Liquid Jade S. Its 5 inch IPS capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 720x1280 pixels is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Faux-metal edges gives it a classy look. The performance is speedy with the 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 octa core processor with 2 GB of RAM. With normal use like web browsing, listening to music and light gaming, the battery drain is quite noticeable. However, the power-saving mode can switch off WiFi and mobile data when not in use. This Acer smartphone features a 13 MP camera with autofocus on the rear. The secondary front camera is a 5 MP unit which shoots great images in most lighting condition. The device is available in black, white, red, or pink, which caters to both sexes alike. In a nutshell, the Acer Liquid Jade S is a great Android smartphone with Dual SIM capability and LTE network support.Specifications

Acer is heading in the right direction with the Liquid Jade S, showcasing its ability to combine an impressive design and blistering performance with an affordable price tag. That being said, there are still a few key areas where it suffers in comparison to other mid-range offerings, and as a result, the Liquid Jade S may not be at the top of everyone's wish list.

With our tests completed, we're looking at a story of missed opportunities. The Liquid Jade S with its fresh styling, sits comfortably in the hand and won't be a burden on your jeans pocket. Its performance is great for the class, dual-SIM compatibility will be appreciated in developing markets, while the Asus software bundle offers some nifty perks.

Acer’s Liquid Jade S is a step above many mid-range phones thanks to its surprisingly solid camera, plus helpful features like the app multi-tasking. It’s a shame the battery only just scrapes through a day of use and takes ages to charge, but if you get in the habit of charging it overnight it shouldn’t be a problem.

The Acer Liquid Jade S is a smartphone with evident strengths and weaknesses. For starters, its design qualities are above average. Its graceful body feels thin, light, sturdy, and very comfortable, although the back panel is on the slippery side. Meanwhile, the curved glass layer is straight-up premium tier!

Acer Liquid Jade Z
With more and more consumers purchasing affordable mid-range smartphones, it is not surprising that most manufacturers are building successors to their cost friendly, mid-range devices. Acer's mid range smartphone line-up includes the Liquid Jade Z. The biggest selling point of the Acer Liquid Jade Z is no doubt its price performance ratio. It has a 5-inch screen with HD (720x1280 pixels) resolution. Its unibody construction looks like the Acer Liquid Jade S'. However, the plastic exterior and the oddly shaped rear speakers gives it a slightly cheaper look unlike other brands which can make a budget phone look premium. As for the hardware, the Acer Liquid Jade Z come with a 1.5 GHz Mediatek Cortex-A53 quad core CPU, 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal storage. The storage capacity is expandable via microSD. The microSD and nano SIM slot sit on a tray at the side. Apart from that, it comes with a 13 MP rear camera capable of recording FullHD videos and a 5 MP front camera for selfies. The Liquid Jade Z has a non-replaceable 2300 mAh battery and comes in black or white color. It is a well equipped smartphone for a low price putting it the Motorola G territory, but it fails to look more than its price thus it only suits persons considering specs more important than look and design.Specifications

Casting your lot with the Liquid Jade Z means accepting an awful lot of sacrifices in exchange for a $250 price tag, including compromised battery life and a 720p display. If you don't mind angling for an invite, the OnePlus X delivers a better design and a full-HD display. The Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 is another better option than the Acer, because of its longer endurance. The Liquid Jade Z wants to get by with features that are just good enough. The problem is, "good enough" adds up to a budget phone that simply isn't worth it.

The Jade Z is helped by a decent camera unit, though – colours are very rich and the detail in the images is high. Battery life also is in the Jade Z’s favour, too. It will last a day of real-world usage with a room to spare – but do not expect a two-day battery life from the 2300 mAh unit. Overall, given that the Jade Z costs around the £150 mark, it is hard to recommend ahead of the Vodafone Smart ultra 6 – which costs less at £125 while having a better display and a faster processor.

The Acer Liquid Jade Z is an odd little beast. Though on the one hand it boasts good performance and is mostly acceptable in day-to-day use, on other fronts it fails entirely. And with the competition really heating up at the budget end of the market, with the likes of the Honor Holly and the Moto G 2014 helping to set the bar, it doesn't quite do enough to compete.

Camera issues aside, though, the Liquid Jade Z is definitely one of the best Acer phones we've seen in recent years. Its snappy processor is just as fast as the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 and its 5in screen looks just as good. However, when the Smart Ultra 6 is £5 cheaper (albeit on Vodafone's PAYG service) and throws in a lot more phone for your money, including a 5.5in Full HD display, more storage, a better GPU, better battery life and a more versatile camera, the Liquid Jade Z just isn't as good value.

I’ve got to admit. The styling on this, the lightness, the slimness and the pretty rapid operation of the phone and the memory handling was very good indeed. It comes with a fairly chunky batch of additional apps which are actually quite helpful and useful, adding value to the experience. Considering the relatively low price-point, that’s very good indeed.

Look at the Acer Liquid Jade Z’s spec list against its price and it starts to look like the bargain of the year. Top specs and a slim, light body make it seem like one of the best budget phones around. However, the reality is a little different. Its performance is all over the place despite having a pretty peppy CPU, making it a pain to use at time.

Priced the same as the Motorola Moto G, Acer’s Liquid Jade Z is a solid mid-range mobile that matches the mighty Moto for visual prowess but packs 4G support, making it a worthy consideration for anyone who wants to stream video on the go. Sadly the battery life means you'll struggle to make it through a full day, while the occasional camera or performance funny also detracts from the overall experience.

Acer Liquid Jade Z Plus
The Acer Liquid Jade Z Plus is a mid-range smartphone at a reasonable price point. The bar designed device is rounded at the edges and has a chromed bezel. Rear of the device is a nicely contoured back plate with a matte finish that fits the hand snugly. The Acer Liquid Jade Z Plus comes in either white or black. The 5.0 inch IPS LCD display with 294 ppi pixel density is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Colors, brightness and sharpness are good. Largely due to the speaker placement at the rear of the device, the audio quality is average at best. The Acer Liquid Jade Z Plus comes with Android 5.0 Lollipop and sports a Cortex-A53 quad core processor clocked at 1.5 GHz, 2 GB RAM, a Mali-760MP2 GPU and 16 GB internal memory. Other features on the smartphone are Bluetooth 4.0, FM radio, A-GPS, microSD and dual SIM support. The device ships with a 13 MP autofocus rear camera and a secondary 5 MP front camera. Acer included a Lithium-Polymer battery rated at 2300 mAh and the device is capable of up to 4 hours of talk time with a 3G network and up to 400 hours of standby time.Specifications

Yes, the hardware feels slow, the screen and cameras are pretty atrocious, but for the price there's still a full-blown smartphone at your disposal here. If you’re looking for an inexpensive way of staying connected to the wider world or join the fun of Windows 10, this no-frills option should suffice, but it might be worth forking out a little more cash for a better Lumia instead.

Marathon man. Acer's Liquid Z630 is shipped with a 5.5-inch IPS HD screen, 2 GB mid-range SoC by MediaTek, and 16 GB of flash memory for just 200 Euros (~$217 RRP). It also includes dual-SIM, micro-SD and a large, removable battery. The perfect deal?

The Acer Liquid Z630s is a bit of a mixed bag as some of its impressive specifications don't translate too well in the real world. It has a good build and good aesthetics, decent display quality despite the size and low resolution, smooth app performance, and a couple of useful bundled apps like AcerEXTEND and abFiles. On the other hand, there's no 4G support for TDD-LTE carriers; the loudspeaker is a little weak for multimedia use; the rear camera struggles with details in landscapes; and the battery life could have been much better considering its mammoth capacity.

All in all The Acer Liquid Z530 is a good phone and a genuine try by the company. It comes almost at par with our current sub-7K recommendation, the Meizu M2. The Z530 comes really close but its camera is not able to keep up with the 13MP shooter on the Meizu M2. That said, the Acer Z530 should and does get our recommendation. So, if you are looking for a sub-7K smartphone and don't want to get into the whole flash sale system of Meizu M2, buy the Acer Z530 instead.

Careful update. With the Liquid Z630S, Acer launches an improved version of the Z630 sister model on the market. The "S" in the name stands for more working memory, a stronger processor, and larger internal storage. Find out in our report whether the surcharge is worthwhile.

A "pocket" computer? Acer's Jade Primo is a premium-range smartphone based on Windows 10 Mobile that can also be used as a PC thanks to the Continuum function.

Once the phone gets its final release I hope to get given a full review unit which would then allow me to put it through its paces properly – including testing Continuum. The phone will be coming into stores very soon, so if you want a viable alternative to the Lumia 950’s then it is worth checking out.

Acer Liquid Zest Plus
The Acer Liquid Zest Plus may be touted as a mid-range smartphone, yet it certainly is not an average phablet. It is equipped with a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels. The device runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow and its performance is powered by a 1.3 GHz MediaTek MT6735 quad-core processor with 2 GB of RAM. The internal storage of the Liquid Zest Plus has a capacity of 16 GB and up to 32 GB can be added via MicroSD slot. Although it is not NFC compliant, it is capable of supporting USB OTG devices. In addition, the phone comes with a 13 MP rear camera and a 5 MP front camera. Ample connectivity is supported by WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth. Moreover, the phone features an FM radio receiver. One key highlight of the Liquid Zest Plus is its huge battery capacity of 5000 mAh, which arguably dispenses with the need to lug around a power bank for on-the-go charging purposes. However, the battery is not removable. The smartphone comes in two color variants, i.e. blue and white. Albeit it is largely from plastic, its capacity under the hood together with a long-lasting battery will surely offer users much zest.Specifications

Although we genuinely try to stay open-minded, our approach to the Acer Liquid X2 wasn't completely free of prejudice. We must admit though, it's more than just a quirky triple-SIM smartphone - which is how it will most likely be perceived by most. We were there too, but we ended up with mostly positive impressions overall.

Acer's large smartphone. Acer's Liquid Z6 Plus is a middle-class smartphone with a large Full-HD display, fingerprint sensor and a huge battery. The middle class is highly contested, however - so is the Liquid z6 Plus able to stand out in any way?

Comment
Acer: The company was founded under the name of Multitech in Taiwan in 1976 and renamed to Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors and televisions. Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell also belong to the Group and sell their own laptops.
While Acer still had the third largest global market share in the notebook segment in 2008, it ranked 6th in 2016 with a market share of 6% after they had continuously lost market shares.
There are dozens of Acer laptop reviews per month, the ratings are average (as of 2016). Gateway, which has an own laptop line-up, has also belonged to the Acer Group since 2007.
