Acer Liquid X1 review

Display and Design

 The Acer Liquid X1 is a terminal that is halfway between a smartphone and a tablet. This team has a considerable size of 5.7 inches which will give us a better viewing videos or games, but can be a great thing for many hands. For ease of use, we have pretty slim design 160 grams (the weight that looks like a whole market heavyweight like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3). Have also been reduced to the maximum frames around the screen to create a more compact model. A touch that we would like to highlight the Liquid X1 is a rear plastic housing with small perforations that promise a more pleasant feel. This model will ship in two colors, with a more serious setting in black and another more casual in red.

 As for the screen Liquid X1, the Taiwanese company has opted for a technology panel with 5.7-inch IPS with a resolution of 1,280 x 720 HD pixels (These numbers that have become almost a standard mobile mid-range of the market). This resolution yields a density of 258 ppi, a figure that allows us to see with great detail the contents of the phone but standing below the pointers releases.

 Camera

 In the photographic section, we will have a good rear camera 13 megapixel with LED flash and several advanced options. And the company has introduced a lens with excellent focus aperture f / 1.8 facilitates broader take photos without away. It also introduces a fast autofocus just 0.3 seconds, similar to what we find for example in the Samsung Galaxy S5. This function will allow us to immortalize our favorite moments even in conditions in which the desired photo to be taken within moments. This commitment is reinforced by the speed with quick button to access the camera that Acer has included in the back of the phone (just under the target). As expected, this camera also has the ability to record video in high quality 1080p. Meanwhile, in the front we have a quality camera 2-megapixel. Though usually phones that we have tested Acer range half up front cameras with good invoice, we may be getting short this resolution if we are enthusiasts about selfies.

 Power and memory

 The internal memory of the Acer Liquid X1 amounts to 16 GB. This amount may be sufficient in most cases, but if you store many large files photos or maybe we need to use a memory card MicroSD up to 32 GB. Another option is to go to a online storage service like Dropbox or Google Drive, but will have to consider spending data when we’re away from home. Menus to run Android , the X1 Liquid committed to a powerful processor eight cores with a power of 1.7 GHz. Quite a monster that has nothing to envy of the biggest releases of the market, and be able to I face applications and games without breaking a sweat. As expected, this chip will be attached to a memory of 2 GB RAM to run more applications without slowing down your computer.

 Operating System and Applications

 Android 4.4 KitKat. Taiwanese company bet on the latest operating system from Google. Great news as we can enjoy the latest security patches and this platform has become the great dominating the market. This latest version is particularly remarkable for improving the overall performance of your menus, but also integrates some minor improvements to the level of use. One of the most interesting examples is to see the cover art of a song you’re listening on the lock screen of the terminal. Besides the huge universe of applications available in the official store, we must also highlight the added you entered Acer. The Taiwanese company has created a special mode to reduce screen contents to four inches. This feature is designed for those times when you have to use the phone with one hand. We also have the option to create a floating window with one of the apps to continue using the phone with other tools. This function has an attractive design and also facilitates the use of multitasking in a very flexible to be able to move and adjust the window form according to our needs.

 Connectivity

 In the field of connections, one of the main attractions of this phablet is its 4G LTE network support. This type of high-speed networks has become very soon a reality in our country, and the operators have become one of its major selling points. Of course, these connections have limited utility because there are still not many rates to squeeze all the possibilities of such a high speed (1 GB or 2 GB of data can be depleted soon as our use of the terminal). As usual, we can connect to 3G in areas where there is less coverage or via WiFi at home or at a public hotspot. The connections are completed with Bluetooth 4.0 for synchronization with compatible equipment and GPS to navigate with applications like Google Maps or Waze.

 Autonomy and reviews

 In the bowels of this model find a battery of 2,700 mA, probably one of the handicaps of this team. And it is a something right power for a team of this size, but we still have to wait for the official use times. Anyway, it seems that this terminal will hold us smoothly a full day of use, although hardly escape the plug when we get home at night. Currently do not know when will be released the Acer Liquid X1 in Spain. If Acer gets set this terminal at a sufficiently competitive price, we are talking about a great competitor able to go toe to toe with the biggest releases of the market. And this phone has major attractions like its good camera 13 megapixel powerful processor or 8 cores.
