Acer announces two smartphones coming to U.S. market

Acer has announced two of their smartphones will be coming to the U.S. market. The devices include the Acer Liquid Jade Z and the Acer Liquid Z410. Both smartphones will support 4G data speeds and come in thin, light form factors that Acer hopes will attract buyers.

The Acer Liquid Jade Z is equipped with a 1.5GHz MediaTek processor and a 2300mAh battery powering a 5-inch IPS display. Acer used Gorilla Glass 3 for the device and used Zero Air Gap technology to reduce screen glare. The Liquid Jade Z gets a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front facing camera. The Liquid Jade Z will be offered with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory for $229 or it can be upgraded to 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage for $249.

The other device Acer is bringing to the U.S., the Liquid Z410, comes with a 4.5-inch IPS display, a 5MP rear-facing camera and a 2MP front-facing camera. Acer has equipped the Liquid Z410 with their QuickTouch technology so the device can be controlled with one finger using a variety of letter shaped swipes. The Liquid Z410 will retail for $129 for a 1GB RAM/8GB memory version or $149 for an upgrade to 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage.

Both devices will come equipped with Android 4.4. The Liquid Jade Z will be available in charcoal grey and Acer says the device is now available at “leading retailers.” The Liquid Z410 will go on sale in September and will be available in dark brown.
