COMPUTEX hasn’t officially started yet but Acer has already
dropped the bomb and announced five smartphones, a tablet and a smartband this
weekend. And since the number of announcements will just be too overwhelming to
put in one post, we’ve decided to split them up in multiple posts.
So without further ado, let’s start with the Taiwanese
company’s first wearable the Liquid Leap and its partner handset, the Acer
Liquid Jade.
The Liquid leap sports a 1-inch touch screen incorporated in
its durable rubber wristband and monitors a user’s activities including steps,
running distance, calories burned and sleeping cycle up to 7 days. The band’s
display also shows incoming call and SMS notifications as well as a music control
function that lets users access and control the music library on their phones.
The smart band connects to the Liquid Jade smartphone over
Bluetooth 4.0 and features IPX7 certification. The Acer Liquid Leap will come
in a variety of colors including Moonstone White, aquamarine, fragrant pink and
vivid orange.
The Leap’s partner device is the Acer Liquid Jade. The
handset is built around a 5-inch HD IPS display with Zero Air Gap technologies
and Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3 panel. There’s a 13MP camera at the back with an
f1.8 aperture and 0.3 second focus speed.
There’s no detailed information yet with regards to the full
specifications of the Liquid Jade, but both the Jade and the Leap are expected
to launch from Q3 2014.
