Acer was the first to break the seal at this year’s Mobile
World Congress in Barcelona with the announcement of three Android phones and
an entry-level Windows Phone handset.
The first three phones are all powered by Android. The
Liquid Jade Z comes with a 5-inch HD screen with Zero Air Gap technology and a
Gorilla Glass 3 panel. It also has a 64-bit MediaTek chip, an LTE radio, a 13MP
camera with LED flash and a 5MP front-facing snapper for selfies.
Then there’s the Liquid Z220, a 4-inch phone with WVGA
resolution and 233ppi screen density. It also packs a Snapdragon 200 chip with
a dual-core processor and a 5MP rear camera with LED flash.
The third Android phone is the 5-inch Liquid Z520. It also
has WVGA resolution and a screen density of 186ppi. Its processing power comes
from a Snapdragon 400 chip with a quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM. It also
comes with an 8MP rear camera with LED flash and a DTS studio sound speaker at
the back.
Lastly, there’s the Liquid M220 with its 4-inch display and
dual-core processor. The phone’s screen boasts a WVGA resolution while its
innards are composed of a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, half a gig of RAM and 4GB
of expandable storage.
The Liquid M220 will be running on Windows Phone 8.1 and
comes with a 5MP+2MP camera combo.
Acer will be shipping these four phones into various markets

hand the Liquid Z520 and Liquid M220 will be available by April for €109 and
