Comparisons Featuring Acer Liquid S1
Short Review
- The Acer Liquid S1 features a large 5.7-inch TFT display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 258 ppi.
- Its build dimensions of 163 x 83 x 9.6 mm and weight of 195 grams give it a substantial feel, available in white and black colors.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6589 chipset, a quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, and 1GB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera offers 8 MP with autofocus and can record video at 1080p, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- Battery capacity stands at 2400 mAh, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
- The device runs on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) with Float UI, providing a straightforward user experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The presence of stereo speakers enhances audio output, and a headphone jack is included for wired audio.
- Overall, the Acer Liquid S1 combines a large display and basic performance with a simple design.
- However, its specifications may feel dated compared to more recent devices.
