Comparisons Featuring Acer Liquid Z3

Short Review

  • The Acer Liquid Z3 features a compact design with dimensions of 109 x 60 x 10.4 mm and a weight of 120 grams, making it portable and easy to handle.
  • Its 3.5-inch TFT display has a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 165 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for detailed visuals.
  • Powered by a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A7 processor and 4GB of RAM, performance is limited, suitable for light applications and basic multitasking.
  • The Mali-400 GPU supports simple graphics but may struggle with more demanding tasks.
  • The rear camera is 3.15 MP, capable of capturing basic images, while the absence of a front camera limits selfie options.
  • The 1500 mAh battery provides modest endurance, but the lack of fast or wireless charging may hinder convenience.
  • Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated, lacking many modern features.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • Available in Rock Black and Classic White, the design is straightforward without water resistance.
  • Overall, the Acer Liquid Z3 is a basic phone with essential features suitable for users with minimal requirements.
