Comparisons Featuring Acer Liquid Z2
Short Review
- The Acer Liquid Z2 features a compact design with dimensions of 110 x 62.5 x 12.3 mm and a weight of 110g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 3.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 165 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7227A Snapdragon S1 chipset, with a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU and Adreno 200 GPU, supported by 4GB of storage and 512MB of RAM, suitable for light usage.
- The rear camera is 3 MP, capable of capturing basic images and video, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The 1300mAh battery provides limited longevity without fast charging or wireless options.
- Running on Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated but functional for essential applications.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in black and a black/white combination, though it lacks water resistance features.
- Overall, the Acer Liquid Z2 is a basic smartphone with limited capabilities, suitable for users seeking essential functionality.
