Liquid Jade Z – Durable, light & stylish

Beautiful in form and function with a stylish curved design, the Liquid Jade Z is just .5 inches slim and weighs only 3.8 ounces, making it comfortable to hold and use with just one hand.

The Liquid Jade Z’s 5-inch HD display is viewable from almost any angle thanks to an IPS panel. It’s also readable in most circumstances with Zero Air Gap technology that reduces unwanted reflections. Durable, it’s protected under a beautiful, yet strong Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3 panel and offers a special read mode that eliminates blue-light emissions to safeguard the eyes.

Thanks to a voice-activated 13MP rear camera with a F1.8 aperture, it can produce stunning pictures in any environment, even when light is scarce. A front camera with a 5MP F2.2 aperture is also included, enabling customers to easily shoot their best selfie.

Additionally, the Liquid Jade Z embeds a series of exclusive enhancements for beautiful images including: 

•     Everything brighter via the F1.8 aperture, which enables 20 percent(1) more light to reach the sensor, while Bright Magic integrates multiple pictures into one shot
•     Perfect selfie that works even in low light conditions via Bright Magic Selfie and Surround Light
•     Exposure control with one finger to adjust focus and exposure independently for clear shots

The Liquid Jade Z boasts 24Bit, 192KHz high resolution audio and an HD speaker with DTS Sound for enjoying HD music on the go. It’s powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core processor (64-bit) and the 2300 mAh battery provides up to 5 hours of talk time or 400 hours in standby.(2) A dual SIM option supports two different phone numbers for separating work and personal life.

Taking multitasking to a new level, AcerEXTEND allows customers to control the Liquid Jade Z via a cable or wirelessly using their Windows-based PC, typing with their keyboard, using drag and drop and sharing.

Liquid Z410 – Easy to use, one finger gesture controls

The Liquid Z410 delivers quality visuals and seamless graphic performance for smooth operation in an affordable design, weighing just 5.1 ounces. For quick and easy operation, an AcerRAPID key allows customers to program frequently used actions to be activated with just one touch, while Acer QuickTouch enables the phone to be controlled with a simple one-finger gesture. For example, swiping with a Z shape on the locked display launches the music player, swiping left or right commands previous and next songs, while a C shape opens the camera and a V shape enables dialer functions.

The 4.5-inch FWVGA (854x480) display with 218 ppi definition ensures selfies taken with the 2MP 80 degree wide-angle front camera are crystal clear. The rear camera features a 5MP autofocus snapper and LED flash as well as several pre-installed modes that make image capture easier than ever.

Presentation mode optimizes note-taking by converting pictures of a sheet of paper or a screen into .jpg, .pdf or .ppt files. Dual Shot lets customers make collages of simultaneous shots or videos from the front or rear cameras for Picture-in-Picture and Video-in-Video. Finally, it is voice commanded, so customers can focus on their subjects rather than logistics.

The Liquid Z410 is fueled by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor (64-bit), while the 200 mAh replaceable Li-polymer battery lasts up to 5.5 hours of talk time or 400 hours in standby.(2) A dual SIM option enables customers to leverage two different phone numbers and DTS Studio Sound™ delivers professional audio clarity.
