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.

  • 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.
