Acer Liquid E2 Overall Review

The Acer Liquid E2, announced in April 2013, is a notable entry into the mid-range smartphone market of its time. With a 4.5-inch display, the Liquid E2 offers a comfortable viewing experience for multimedia and web browsing. Under the hood, it’s powered by a MediaTek MT6589 chipset, featuring a quad-core 1.2GHz processor paired with 1GB of RAM, ensuring smooth performance for everyday tasks and light multitasking.

Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the 8 MP primary camera, which captures decent quality photos and videos. Additionally, a 2 MP front-facing camera makes video calls more accessible and provides for basic selfies. The device comes with 4 GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD, allowing users to store their favorite content without worry.

One of the key highlights of the Liquid E2 is its dual SIM capability, offering users the flexibility to manage two different phone numbers, a feature highly valued by frequent travelers or those wishing to separate work and personal contacts. Powered by a 2000 mAh battery, the phone balances performance and power efficiency, aiming to get users through the day on a single charge.

Running on Android, the Acer Liquid E2 provides access to a plethora of apps and services from the Google Play Store, although it may not support the latest Android updates due to its age.
