Acer was discreet on the market of smartphones, after the thunderstrike introduction of the Liquid in early 2010. With the Acer Liquid Metal, the Asian manufacturer offers a new version. Enough to seduce the people looking for a smartphone Android communicating at lower prices? Response in this test of the Acer Liquid.
Liquid Metal… Apart from his back, metal step indeed. Chrome siding are actually plastic. The overall look of the Google Phone has hardly changed. There are always four touch buttons at the bottom of the capacitive screen. The latter won 0.1 inch (2.5 mm) without the benefit of a higher resolution.
A use, the Liquid Metal behaves well. With Froyo (Android 2.2), it fits its Qualcomm processor running at 800 MHz. The new interface of the operating system mobile from Google (with the musical ride of the pages) previously visited including turns in a satisfactory manner.
Acer added his touch, but nothing much significant. On the other hand, computing specialist has implemented two original and useful programs: SocialJogger and Media Server. Socialjogger merges your Facebook and Twitter accounts to discover a single stroke of eye, the status changes and new messages from your virtual environment.
Media Server is even more unreported because it transforms your mobile multimedia server. By enabling the sharing of content, your mobile also active Wi-Fi and DLNA communications protocol. You can then read photos, listen to music or watch videos stored on your Liquid Metal from a TV or DLNA compatible device.
The pictures and videos (up to 1280 x 720 pixels at 30 fps) with the sensor 5 megapixels are also of average invoice. Rest with a 1500 mAh battery, this smartphone is still 3 days.
This is surely not the most beautiful or the most powerful of the current Android smartphones. However, it offers a much more expensive Phone Google services. Its main asset is its quality/price ratio.
