Acer, Still In The Smartphone Race With $199, 5000 mAh Phone

Acer is getting back on our good graces. Its latest Liquid Zest Plus has, miraculously, packed a big battery and great camera module, all while being retailed at under 200 dollars #mobilemagic

Believe it or not, Acer has found the way to keep the 5.5-inch phone “afloat” with a 5,000 mAh battery, larger than Samsung’s last Note, which has only 3,000 mAh. To respond to the ever-growing need of recharging your battery in record time (since we’re depleting it at least once a day), Acer has pulled off a quick charge system that takes it to 50% capacity in one hour and can even charge other devices.

Liquid Zest Plus is not at all bad when it comes to taking selfies. Its camera module offers 85-degree angle on the 5-megapixel front facing camera and a selfie mode that starts a selfie timer every time you shake the device. You can also rely on a “hybrid tri-focusing system” that will focus in 0.3 seconds on the object of your attention.

The handset comes with DTS-HD sound, dual-SIM capacity and a bluelight shield that will help you use it during the night. The question is: where did Acer have to make a compromise?
