Summary

  • The Acer Liquid X1 features a larger 5.7-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, while the Honor 4C has a 5.0-inch IPS LCD with the same resolution but a higher pixel density of approximately 294 ppi.
  • In terms of performance, the Liquid X1 is powered by a Mediatek MT6592 octa-core processor at 1.7 GHz, compared to the Honor 4C's Kirin 620 at 1.2 GHz, giving the Liquid X1 an edge in processing power.
  • Both phones have a 13 MP rear camera capable of 1080p video recording, but the Honor 4C offers a superior 5 MP front camera for selfies.
  • Battery capacity is slightly higher in the Liquid X1 at 2700 mAh versus the 2550 mAh of the Honor 4C, although both lack fast charging and wireless capabilities.
  • Both devices run Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), but the Honor 4C can be upgraded to Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) with EMUI 3, providing a potentially better software experience.
