Acer Liquid Jade S Review

(S56) Score: 68.6 / 100

Acer Liquid Jade S is a fascinating Android phone, with a good size 5 inches screen, a very powerful 64-bit Octa-Core processing unit clocking at 1.5 gigahertz, and two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back camera and a 5 MP front facing camera. That's all? No, it's just the tip of the iceberg.

Acer has made a great job making this cellphone weight only 4.23 oz. The Acer Liquid Jade S is offerred in lots of color options: black, pink, red and white. This phone has a beautiful design, with a thickness of just 0.31 inches. This cellphone is only 5.63 inches long, but it's still able to fit a a 5 inches screen.

Acer designed this phone with a very good 5 inches screen, and a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, providing this device with a very nice image quality. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

Acer decided to equip this cellphone with a high performance 1.5 GHz Octa-Core processor, bundled in a MediaTek MT6752M system chip with a great 2 GB RAM. Helping with graphic rendering, it also counts with a 416 MHz ARM Mali-T760 MP2 GPU. A nice advantage of this phone is its big 16 GB internal storage and an external memory slot, which allows the user to store a couple hundred games and apps without running out of space.

The Acer Liquid Jade S features Wi-Fi capability (which can be shared with other devices acting as a modem), 4G LTE great performance internet connection and also HSPA+ connectivity, which is a lower speed 4G network and 3G fast internet connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This device uses 2 SIM cards so it can to work with 2 different carriers or phone numbers at the same time.

This phone has two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back side camera and a 5 mega-pixels front side camera. It can also shoot Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 fps. In addition, this phone's camera also has a couple of useful features like flash, face detection shooting, auto-focus, geo tagging and HDR mode.

This phone also comes with some useful characteristics like Bluetooth (enables communication with other devices, computers, and accessories), GPS and Radio, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The Acer Liquid Jade S has a 2300 mAh high capacity Li-Ion non-replaceable battery, which isn't very promising for a phone like this. This cellphone has an estimated 6 hs talk time and a 250 hs stand by time. An issue to take into account is that the Acer Liquid Jade S's battery is not removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to have trouble holding its charge, even though with so much capacity you will probably discard this cellphone before it happens.

This phone might be a little overpriced considering it is offerred for $ 249, while many similar phones cost a bit less than that. This phone is definitely a great choice for you no matter if you want a cellphone for work, you love taking photographs, are looking for a gaming phone or want it majorly for social networks.
