Acer is not giving up on the smartphone market and despite its slow uptake in the local market, it’s pushing onwards with more Android handsets. The latest in its line is the mid-range Acer Liquid Glow running on Ice Cream Sandwich.
Acer Liquid Glow specs:
3.7″ display @ 480×800 pixels
Qualcomm 7227A 1GHz processor
512MB RAM
1GB internal storage
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1
3G/HSDPA
5MP autofocus camera
GPS w/ aGPS support
NFC-support
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
Some of the specs are not complete but we should see this updated once Mobile World Congress starts.
The only notable feature here is the inclusion of NFC and the ICS operating system used out of the box.
Acer might have a good chance if it will just focus its handset line-up in the entry-level to the mid-level category, providing consumers more options and better bang for their buck. In any case, we might be seeing a lot of ICS handsets in the 2nd half of this year that’s priced at the Php10k to Php15k levels.
Now, if only Acer could update that Iconia Smart 300 to ICS and offer it below Php20k.
