New Delhi, April 25: Acer has finally entered budget quad-core smartphone race with the launch of Liquid E2. The Acer Liquid E2 will hit the UK and Europe in mid May.
The handset will possibly launch in India in June in the price range of Rs 14,000. Such a price point would be perfect for those who want to migrate from dualc-core to quad-core handsets. The device also features optional Dual -SIM functionality.
The Liquid E2 will run on the MediaTek MT6589 chipset, which we have already seen in Micromax A116 Canvas HD, followed by the Intex Aqua Quadcore, WickedLeak Wammy Passion Y, Xolo Q800 and more.
The Acer Liquid E2 is 9.9mm thick and weighs 140 grams with the battery. It has a 4.5-inch qHD (960x540 pixel) IPS display. The phone comes with 2000mAh battery which the company says will last for up to 9 hours of talk time and up to 450 hours of standby time.
The quad-core CPU on the E2 is clocked at 1.2GHz and the device has 1GB of RAM and 4GB built-in storage expandable up to 32GB via a microSD card. The phone has an 8MP AF camera on the rear along with an LED flash and a BSI sensor. The front has a 2MP camera. It also supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FM radio and GPS.
