Acer Liquid Z6, Z6 Plus, and Iconia Talk
S
Acer announced two new smartphones today
at its press event at IFA. Both are droids running on Android Marshmallow and
spiced by Acer's proprietary launcher.
The first one is the budget Acer
Liquid Z6 with a price tag as low as € 119. It has a 5.0"
HD screen and runs on the MT6737 chip with a quad-core 1.25 GHz Cortex-A53
processor, Mali-T720MP2 GPU, and 1 GB of RAM.
The rest of the Liquid Z6 specs include
8 gigs expandable storage, an 8 MP main camera, a 2 MP selfie snapper, and a
2,000 mAh battery. The Liquid Z6 is made of plastic and
will be released this November in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East at about US$ 130 or € 119 price.
The Acer
Liquid Z6 Plus, as the name suggests, is the bigger one with a
5.5" IPS 1080p display, enhanced with a 2.5D curved glass. It is powered
by a snappier MT6753 chip with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU, Mali-T720
GPU, and 3 GB of RAM.
There are other upgrades, worthy of
the extra cash to the Plus moniker. The Liquid Z6 Plus is made of metal and
comes with 32GB expandable storage, a fingerprint scanner, a 13 MP main camera,
a 5 MP selfie shooter, and a beefy 4,080 mAh battery.
The Liquid Z6 Plus will launch in Asia
($280), Europe (€249), and the Middle East in December. In addition to the two smartphones, Acer
also introduced a 7" tablet capable of making phone calls - the Acer Iconia
Talk S. The small tablet (or the big phablet depending on how you look at it)
packs a 7" 720p display and runs on the MT8735 chip with a quad-core
Cortex-A53 CPU and 2 GB of RAM.
The Iconia Talk S offers 16/32 GB
expandable storage, dual-SIM telephony with LTE support, a 13 MP main camera, a
2 MP selfie cam, and Android Marshmallow OS with Acer apps.
The Iconia Talk S will also make it to the EMEA
region. The launch will happen in September and the pricing is set to € 169
(US$ 190).
