Reviews for the Acer Liquid Z4

79% Acer Liquid Z4 Duo Smartphone Review | Notebookcheck
Z3 on the rack. Acer has refreshed its entry-level devices and placed a dual-SIM, four-inch smartphone between its Z3 Duo and Z5. Their specs are very similar. The most interesting innovation is surely the Custom Profiles, which make the smartphone easier for newcomers to use.
