Acer's phones aren't seen as "ones to own" here in
China, and unfortunately the new
Acer Liquid E1 doesn't look set to change things.
The E1 is aimed at the budget minding phone customer who doesn't want to spend the earth to get their hands on a useable phone. Unfortunately the E1 Liquid is just a little too underpowered and uninspiring, and isn't likely to attract customers who could probably buy something like the JiaYu
G4 or
Sheng X7 at a similar price and with better hardware.
In case you're wondering, the new
Acer offers a 4.5-inch 720p
display, 1GB
RAM, 4GB of built-in memory and a
5 mega-pixel rear
camera with pricing set at around 1600 Yuan ($267).
In comparison the
Sheng X7 has a 5-inch 1080
display and quad-core CPU for $160 and the
JiaYu G4 packs 2GB
RAM and
13 mega-pixel rear
camera at a similar price, and if you didn't want to wait for those the Samsung Exynos equipped
Newman N2 is on sale for $240 with a
13 mega-pixel sensor!
Oh, Acer what are you thinking?
