Juicing up the Liquid Jade is a 2,100mAh capacity battery. The Liquid Jade is quite thin at 7.5mm and it feels even thinner in the hands as the back curves gradually towards the sides.
Targeting the entry-level segment is the Liquid Z500 which offers a decent 5″ HD 720p display and it also runs on a MediaTek 1.3GHz MT6582 Quad-Core processor that’s mated with 2GB of RAM. At RM499, this competes head on with the popular Huawei Honor 3C but Acer is packing more with a generous 16GB of storage.
