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).
Gizchina News of the week
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?

well, always there are consumer for any market, so, i guess that ACER will sell many phones, may be not to IT/Geek people, but some one else for sure.
one more thing, it is a knowed brand: ACER 🙂
anyway will be not my choice and they priced too high!
i don’t think i can pay high because of a brand thing!!! my interest is high spec with low price not brand
as I commented before (i don’t know in your country) but for sure many people paid the “brand” only and doesn’t care if the phone is useful or not powerful or not
Hey there.
Could someone explain how i can buy the newman N2 from a Trustworthy company for 240 dolars ?
Keep in mind that i would like to receive it before 2016 😉
Thanks!
Brand name sure sells but I think most people who browse this site don’t really care with big brand for their phone. 😉
