Summary
- The Acer Liquid Z500 features a compact build with a 5.0-inch IPS LCD display at 720 x 1280 resolution, offering a pixel density of approximately 294 ppi, while the ZTE T98 has a larger 7.0-inch TFT display with a resolution of 768 x 1280, resulting in a lower pixel density of around 213 ppi.
- In terms of performance, the Z500 is powered by a Mediatek MT6582 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz CPU and 4GB of RAM, compared to the ZTE T98's Nvidia Tegra 3 with a quad-core 1.5 GHz CPU and 16GB of RAM, giving it an edge in multitasking.
- The camera capabilities differ as well, with the Z500 offering an 8 MP rear camera capable of 1080p video, while the T98 has a 5 MP rear camera limited to 720p video.
- Battery capacity is another differentiator, with the Z500 housing a 2000 mAh battery, while the T98 lacks a specified battery capacity.
