What was being hinted at the MWC earlier this year has finally 'floated' onto the surface. Acer has unveiled its first Phablet , the Liquid S1, quite appropriately named, with its Android 4.2 layered with custom Float UI, on which widgets float while you use some app, paving way for better multitasking.
The phablet surely is huge, at 5.7 inch screen size with 1280 X 720 HD resolution. The processor is a quad core one, clocked at 1.5GHz, which is not ground breaking, with better processors in many other devices (HTC One, Galaxy S4, Lenovo K900, and the list goes on and on) , but its not at all bad , especiallyif you consider the price at which it will be sold. The device has a 8MP rear camera and a 2 MP front camera with HD recording capabilities.
Acer claims that the device's batter will last a day of usage, which is normally not something too impressive, but nevertheless something Acer feels is. The phablet will launch in UK in Q3 this year at €349 , which is around $475, a price tag which is pretty impressive, considering the specs, and the competition in this price range, Acer surely has made a mark there. Though availability in US is yet to be officially announced.
