Acer Liquid Glow hits the FCC, keeps its secrets

Acer Liquid Glow hits the FCC, keeps its secrets

Posted on May 14, 2012 by MG1

Acer's Liquid series phones only occasionally reach the FCC, so it's with some surprise that we've just spotted the still-fresh Liquid Glow getting the US agency's approval under its E330 model name. Details are scarce as to whether or not there's been any changes made to the Android 4.0 phone on its way out of Taiwan, however: there's no telltale signs like cellular frequencies or carrier badging. If anything, Acer is hoping to keep information hush-hush by stamping a 180-day confidentiality seal on the manual and photos. It's entirely possible that this is the international GSM model with no 3G support for North American carriers, so we wouldn't get worked up about local release plans. Eve...

Acer Liquid Glow to help define budget Android 4.0

Acer Liquid Glow to help define budget Android 4.0

Posted on Feb 27, 2012 by MG3

Acer has followed up the CloudMobile with a second smartphone due at Mobile World Congress. The Liquid Glow will carry Acer's lightly skinned version of Android 4.0, but with a more modest 3.7-inch display. The newer, curvier design will be its own highlight, with colors such as Alpine White and Sakura Pink on the back that will be matched to the display at the front.
A five-megapixel camera with a flash is standard, and NFC is new to Acer's Liquid line. The short-range wireless here is useful for Android Beam device-to-device sharing with other Android 4.0 owners as well as the usual tag reading and mobile payments. Most other details have been left out so far, although Android 4.0 perform....

Acer Liquid Glow gets unveiled, coming to MWC 2012

Acer Liquid Glow gets unveiled, coming to MWC 2012

Posted on Feb 24, 2012 by MG1

Here comes another Android smartphone that we will get to check out next week in Barcelona – the Acer Liquid Glow. The company just announced the handset officially confirming that it will be shown off at the MWC 2012 expo.
In terms of specs, we don't really know much as to what the Acer Liquid Glow has to offer. However, it seems like it will be a mid-range device, given that it sports a 3.7-inch display and a 5-megapixel auto-focus camera with LED flash. Furthermore, the smartphone will run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box and will support NFC. And if you hate it when smartphones come only in one boring color shade, you will be happy to know that the Acer Liquid Glow will be o...

Acer Liquid Express includes NFC, is free with contract in UK

Acer Liquid Express includes NFC, is free with contract in UK

Posted on Nov 30, 2011 by MG1

Acer's Liquid Express is now shipping, and if there's anything memorable about the phone, it's that it might finally help NFC spread to the mid-range Android market. The 3.5-inch Express is the same size as most of the Liquid line, includes the same 5-megapixel camera, and has the 800MHz processor of the Liquid MT. There's no word yet on internal memory, but it comes bundled with a standard 2GB microSD card. It's also free with even the cheapest two-year contracts on both T-Mobile and Orange. That means the Liquid Express is a cheap way to join the NFC future, although you'll be doing it on a phone with specs that will rapidly be from the past.

Orange UK now offers Acer Liquid Express for free with 20.50 GBP/month plan

Orange UK now offers Acer Liquid Express for free with 20.50 GBP/month plan

Posted on Nov 15, 2011 by MG1

The Acer Liquid Express is now available from Orange UK. We’ve first seen this low-to-mid end Android smartphone back in September and now everyone can get it for free on a plan that costs at least 20.50 GBP per month. That money either gets you 300 minutes and unlimited texts; or 100 minutes, unlimited texts, and 500 MB of data every month. If you need more minutes and megabytes, you can grab some more expensive plan to get up to 900 minutes and 1 GB of data for whopping 41 GBP per month. Now I’m not sure why would anyone grab such a device with that big plan, since you can easily get a way more powerful smartphone with the same monthly commitment.

Windows Phone Mango-powered Acer Allegro will cost 299 EUR

Windows Phone Mango-powered Acer Allegro will cost 299 EUR

Posted on Oct 11, 2011 by MG1

Acer will be launching a Windows Phone Mango-based device called Allegro in Europe at some point “before Christmas.” According to Telecompaper, the Taiwanese company will ask 299 EUR for the new phone, which BTW looks as the W4 we’ve seen before (and which is pictured above). Specs wise, it will come with a single-core processor under the hood, 3.6-inch WVGA screen, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS and a 5-megapixel camera.
In the other Acer news, they said that the Liquid Mini Ferrari Edition will also sell for 299 EUR. This little fella’ is everything but Ferrari under the hood, rocking a somewhat dated single-core 600MHz processor. Moreover, it also sports a 3.2-inch HVGA display, 5-megap...

4.8-inch Acer Iconia Smart finally hitting shelves

4.8-inch Acer Iconia Smart finally hitting shelves

Posted on Sep 16, 2011 by MG1

You might remember the Acer Iconia Smart as the ultra-long handset that was the first to stun our minds with a 4.8-inch screen and a 21:9 aspect ratio. Now, in mere couple of months the smartphone display realities have changed and while we’re still impressed, we’re not necessarily stunned. The Iconia Smart has picked this exact time to finally hit shelves at UK online retailer Expansys, sporting a price tag of nearly $615 (389 pounds) off contract .
The phone has kept a low-profile but it’s been almost as long in the making as the Droid Bionic. The handset was introduced in February at MWC and that’s where we took it for a spin, so don’t hesitate to check our hands-on preview of the Acer I...

Acer W14 shows up at IFA

Acer W14 shows up at IFA

Posted on Sep 05, 2011 by MG1

AreaMobile.de has just stumbled across this new Acer Windows Phone 7 handset at IFA in Germany.
The Acer W14 is a 1 Ghz device with an unknown megapixel camera, 8 GB storage and 512 MB RAM running Windows Phone 7 Mango.
Obviously not a particularly high end device, I like that the phone does try to make some concession to style with its smoothly curved back.
No other detail of the handset is available, but I expect the handset should see some distribution in Asia soon.

Acer M310 Windows Phone said to have HDMI-out, 8GB storage

Acer M310 Windows Phone said to have HDMI-out, 8GB storage

Posted on Aug 24, 2011 by MG15

Filed in: Cell PhonesAcerW4

We first heard about the existence of the Acer M310 Windows Phone last week, but literally no information was given besides the fact that two test units were discovered on a developer's traffic sheet. How about a few more shreds of meat to chew on? According to WindowsPhoneNZ, the Mango device was sighted at TechEd New Zealand with HDMI-out support. We may be seeing this feature across a large variety of Windows Phones coming out this fall, as the HTC Eternity has been rumored to include video output via HDMI as well. The observer claims the M310 has a "black shiny look" and "bevelled edges," has a similar appearance to the Acer W4 (shown in the above image), and includes DLNA support over W...

Nokia 800 and Acer M310 caught on Windows Phone dev's stats, likely in testing

Posted on Aug 18, 2011 by MG3

The fact that Nokia and Acer are busily preparing Windows Phones is no secret, but Sea Ray and W4 may not be the manufacturers' only projects. Elbert Perez, a Windows Phone game developer with a keen eye for statistics, was looking through a list of the various devices that run his games, and a couple gems stood out -- the Nokia 800 and Acer M310.

Acer Iconia Smart arrives in September, doesn't apologize for being late

Posted on Aug 11, 2011 by MG3

Five months is a very long time to wait for the large-handed smartphone addict, but finally there is some good news, everybody! We previewed Acer's massive 4.8-inch phone / tablet hybrid back in February and it looked like it would arrive in the U.S. sometime in April. It's now August and and according to Acer's Facebook page, we still have a month to wait. The phoneblet (Yes, there's already a name) retains the same specs we heard about in February: Snapdragon processor, twin cameras and Android 2.3 Gingerbread. When it finally does arrive, it'll cost Europeans €499 -- around $710.

Microsoft teases a WP7 version of the Samsung Galaxy S II, plus new handsets from Fujitsu, ZTE and Acer

Microsoft teases a WP7 version of the Samsung Galaxy S II, plus new handsets from Fujitsu, ZTE and Acer

Posted on Jul 13, 2011 by MG1

Microsoft's WPC 2011 conference which we reported from yesterday is in full swing, and special time was dedicated to Windows Phone, with Redmond showing off not one or two, but four new WP handsets. While it didn't specify many details about the phones themselves, Microsoft reiterated that we will have three new manufacturers jumping on the bandwagon - Acer, Fujitsu and ZTE.
But there were actually four handsets on stage, with the fourth being none other but the Windows Phone version of the Samsung Galaxy S II, one of the best handsets money can currently buy. Samsung's phone, as well as all others that were present during the keynote, seemed to have the good ol' front-facing camera, which i...
