Acer Liquid E3

“A key feature is definitively the Dual-SIM function. Unfortunately, there is no LTE. The large 4.7-inch HD screen can score in terms of resolution and brightness. On the other hand, system performance is rather decent, but sufficient for everyday use. With the camera it is possible to shoot nice pictures. A problem might be the non-exchangeable 2000 mAh battery.All in all, the current E-model of Acer is a good middle class device. If one can live with the mentioned disadvantages, the smartphone has a lot to offer and is worth the money.When buying the device, one should go for the slightly more expensive Plus Version, since the relatively small extra costs are outweighed by 16 GB ROM instead of 4 GB. Also, going from one to two GB RAM can be considered beneficial. In comparison to its predecessor Liquid E2, the manufacturer could improve processing quality.”

“After spending a lot of time with the Acer Liquid E3, there is no doubt that this handset has been aimed at younger students, those that are in high school rather than at University. The price tag screams of a handset that you won't mind if it gets bashed up on the playground, and the forward facing flash is aimed very heavily at the selfie loving youngsters.It is these people that will probably not care too much that the Liquid E3 can't make the world's best calls, because they're too busy Snapchat-ing or sending Facebook and WhatsApp messages. This won't appease the people buying the handset though, the parents that want to be able to get a hold of their kids at a moment's notice.Yes the Liquid E3 does a lot of things well, but as an overall handset it is still left looking up to the Moto G as the handset of choice in this price bracket, and with software that is older than that found on the Galaxy S3, the reasons to choose the Liquid E3 over any of its rivals are quickly diminishing.”

“The Acer Liquid E3 is a tough phone to rate because it has some really outstanding features like the camera options, the display and the front-facing speakers, but suffers from a slow processor, a design that won't appeal to everyone, old software and a lack of storage space or 4G. If you want a phone with a great camera at a low price, the Acer Liquid E3 will probably satisfy you, but if you also want to play games, store lots of files or get faster internet connection, the Acer Liquid isn't for you. We'd recommend carefully considering options like the Motorola Moto G and Sony Xperia M2 before opting for the Liquid E3.”

“The Liquid E3 is a big step forward for Acer. With its 4.7 screen and 13 Mpx camera, it's a top entry-level handset. Unfortunately, it's let down by poor screen brightness and a battery life not even good enough to guarantee a full day's use.”
