Acer Liquid S1: a new competitor for the Galaxy Note 2 - Tablet Zone

A device has made an appearance in this day full of news thanks to Computex : Acer Liquid S1 . This is a phablet with 5.7 inch screen , specifications midrange and the added charm of having a version of Android virtually identical to the Nexus and price quite attractive: 349 euros .

id=”more-24175″/> Although the announcement of HTC Butterfly seemed to encourage more companies to dare to launch their flagships with 5 inch screens in recent times each Once we are more manufacturers who dare sizes phablets about 6 inches: besides Grand Memo ZTE and Ascend Mate Huawei , in recent times also met Galaxy Mega of Samsung and lately HTC plans to the T6 and Sony for Xperia Togari . Well, despite the multiple candidates, the last to officially join the list of competitors Galaxy Note 2 has been unexpectedly device Acer , Liquid S1 .

Regarding the specs This Liquid S1 is must be clear that it is not a device intended to compete against the phablet more pointers, but that their goal is to offer a quality / price interesting and you have to think that, in fact, is in a range of prices lower than many of its rivals. The new Acer phablet will have a 5.7 inch screen with resolution HD (720p) Mediatek processor quad core 1.5 GHz , 1 GB of RAM, 8GB expandable storage capacity via the micro-SD card and battery 2400 mAh .

the technical specifications are not too bright (although quite adequate in relation to its price), the new Acer phablet has, however, a feature quite especially in its favor: run a version of Android 4.2 you can practically consider original Nexus devices , since the changes made by the manufacturer are minimal. Given the popularity of stock Android which has led to the launch of Google Editions for some of today’s most popular smartphones (like HTC One or Galaxy S4), there is no doubt that many consider this an advantage.

launch in Europe will take place in the third quarter, ie from July and, as reported by Acer, the device would arrive first to France, Belgium , Holland, Ukraine, Russia, United Kingdom and Germany, and later to Spain and Italy for 349 euros . Although this is a somewhat confusing issue because the price specified in the press release from Acer is the one we will give, 349 euros, but the fact is that various media are giving the figure of 329 euros. We look and if there is anything new update the information immediately.
