Comparisons Featuring Acer Liquid Z500
Short Review
- The Acer Liquid Z500 features a sleek design with dimensions of 145 x 73 x 8.8 mm and a weight of 150g, making it comfortable to hold.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6582 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, suitable for basic tasks.
- The Mali-400MP2 GPU handles graphics adequately, although it may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera has an 8 MP sensor capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- Battery life is supported by a 2000 mAh capacity, but it lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- The device runs on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), which is outdated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is equipped with stereo speakers and a headphone jack, enhancing audio experience.
- Available colors include Aquamarine Green, Sandy Silver, and Titanium Black, offering some aesthetic variety.
