Short Review

  • The Acer Liquid Z520 features a simple design with dimensions of 154 x 86 x 6.4 mm and a lightweight build at 118g, available in black and white.
  • Its 5.0-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 187 ppi, which may not provide the sharpest visuals.
  • Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6582M chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and Mali-400MP2 GPU, paired with options for 1GB or 2GB of RAM.
  • The device includes an 8 MP rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
  • Battery capacity is 2000 mAh, which may require frequent charging due to its limited capacity and lack of fast charging.
  • Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is dated compared to newer versions.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G support and NFC.
  • The phone does not feature stereo speakers and has a standard headphone jack.
  • Overall, the Acer Liquid Z520 is a basic smartphone with modest specifications suitable for everyday tasks.
