Comparisons Featuring Acer Liquid E3
Short Review
- The Acer Liquid E3 features a compact design with dimensions of 136 x 68 x 9 mm and a weight of 134g, making it comfortable to hold.
- Its 4.7-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 312 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6589 chipset, a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, and 4GB of RAM, which allows for basic multitasking.
- The rear camera is a 13 MP unit with autofocus, capable of capturing video, while the front-facing 2 MP camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- The 2500 mAh battery supports standard charging but lacks wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is somewhat dated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is available in black and white colors, but it lacks water resistance and stereo speakers.
- Overall, the Acer Liquid E3 is a basic smartphone with essential features suitable for everyday use.
