Short Review
- The Acer Liquid Zest features a compact design with dimensions of 145.7 x 71.2 x 8.4 mm and a lightweight build at 125 grams.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, delivering decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6580 or MT6735 chipset, with a quad-core CPU clocked at either 1.3 GHz or 1.0 GHz, paired with 1GB of RAM for basic multitasking.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP unit with f/2.0 aperture, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while a 5 MP front camera is available for selfies.
- The battery capacity is 2000 mAh, supporting standard charging without wireless options.
- Running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the software experience is straightforward but lacks the latest features.
- 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 a microUSB 2.0 port and retains a headphone jack for audio.
- Available in black and white, the Liquid Zest does not offer water resistance or premium materials.
- Overall, it serves as a basic smartphone with essential features for everyday use.
