Acer
Liquid Z630 and Z530
At
IFA 2015, the Taiwanese company unveiled the Liquid Z630(S) and Liquid Z530(S),
two Android 5.1-powered smartphone designed to meet the prevailing industry
trends of big screen multimedia consumption and quality selfie-taking.
Liquid
Z630/Z630S
The
Liquid Z630 jumps in the phablet pool with a 5.5-inch HD (720p) Zero Air Gap
display and 64-bit processing punch, supplied by the quad-core 1.3 GHz MediaTek
MT6735 chipset. There are 2 GB of RAM memory and 16 GB of built-in storage in the
configuration, along with a spacious 4000 mAh capacity battery. A pair of 8 MP
wide angle cameras are to be found on its front and back panel, and
connectivity options include Cat4 LTE, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, and Bluetooth 4.0.
The
Z630S model upgrades the Z630 with an octa-core chip, 3 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of
storage.
Liquid
Z530/Z530S
The
Z530 and Z530S come from the same breed as the Z630 and Z630S, but instead of
multimedia, the focus is on vivid selfies. That's why the smartphone retains
that 8 MP front cam with an 84 degree wide-angle lens, but downgrades the whole
package to make for a more affordable smartphone. The Z530/S has a 5-inch
display, a lesser quad-core 1.3 GHz MT6735 chip, 1 GB or 2 GB of RAM and 8 GB or
16 GB of storage (depending on market).
It
does, however, employ some potentially attractive software photo traits, such
as Gourmet Mode (automatically adjust color temperature and style for photos of
dishes), touch to capture (focus and capture photos with a single touch), and
Smile Shutter (capture smiles as they happened). The Z530S comes with a faster,
octa-core MediaTek chipset, 3 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of storage.
The
Acer Liquid Z630 will be available in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa
region in September, starting from EUR 199 (US$ 223). The Acer Liquid Z530 will be
available in October in the same market, starting at EUR 149 (US$ 167).
