Acer Liquid – Hands On

Posted on April 19, 2010 by Colm

We had a chance to test out the new Acer Liquid android smartphone and I must say we are really impressed. First of all it’s powered by a 768MHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and runs on the Android 2.1 operating system.

It comes with a massive 3.5 inch WVGA touchscreen that seems to just dominate the front of the phone. The quality of the screen is outstanding and simply watching video on this compared to an iPhone is such a difference. It also comes with a five megapixel camera with autofocus which again offers quality when browsing photographs and taken them.

As you can see from the photograph above the keypad is very easy to use and certainly did not cause any issues when typing, the large display makes it easy to type. The menu system is very easy to navigate and functional. Once you select the menu button you are then presented with many applications for use. On the home screen you can select the applications that you use regularly to allow for easy access.

Changing access to Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS can easily be done and switched on and off as needed. Accessing photos, music, videos and easily be achieved by scrolling with the touch of a finger. You didn’t have easy access to favorites which again allows you to easily switch to scroll true the various photographs you may have.

It comes with 3.5 Inch millimeter headphone jack which is situated at the top of the phone. You sometimes find other manufacturers place the headphone jack in awkward positions on the phone which is not ideal if you have it in your pocket. Beside the headphone jack to your have light indicators which, show you when the battery is low or being charged and also missed call indicator and missed messages indicator.

The phone comes preinstalled with many applications for social networking, messaging, e-mailing etc. and of course many more applications can be downloaded easily from the Android Store. Overall I was quite impressed with this phone the quality of the screen is simply outstanding and really shows up when you were watching video. Many systems are very easy to navigate and access and the simplicity just seems to make this a very easy to use phone that many people would enjoy.
