Acer’s new flagship borrows the power of the cloud to keep it clutter-free

Acer has unveiled a brand new flagship device in the Mobile World Congress 2016, the Liquid Jade 2. Not just your regular flagship, this new Acer smartphone features a new feature up its sleeve — over 1TB of storage.

The Liquid Jade 2 sports something called a hybrid storage functionality which makes use of cloud storage to keep your phone clutter free. Ring any bells? Yep, this implementation isn’t exactly new especially if you’re familiar with the Kickstarter phone the Nextbit Robin.

Much like the Robin, it seems that the Liquid Jade 2 will utilise this same functionality to upload unused apps to the cloud for archiving and mass storage, but while the Robin gives you 100GB of cloud storage, Acer is throwing out a whopping 1TB of storage.

What remains to be seen is if Acer’s implementation will be as effective and practical as that on the Robin — which has received a lot of praise for their particular innovation.

Besides that, the Liquid Jade 2 features decidedly average specifications for a flagship as the 5.5-inch device sports a full-HD AMOLED panel with 100% NTSC colour gamut on the front. Inside, it’s powered by a Snapdragon 808 processor mated with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of local storage.

For optics, the Liquid Jade 2 packs a 21-megapixel PDAF sensor with dual-LED flash and support for 4K video recording. Selfies are taken care of by a front facing 8-megapixel snapper.

The Liquid Jade 2 will feature a new Headphone:X technology for better sound quality over headphones — tech that Acer developed with their long time partner Dolby. What’s more, the Acer Liquid Jade 2 will feature a USB Type-C port.

The device will come running Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box

Alongside this flagship device, Acer also launched two budget smartphones — the Liquid Zest and Liquid Zest 4G. Besides from the fact that one has 4G connectivity and a slightly more powerful processor, these two devices are nearly identical.

The Liquid Zest is powered by a 1.0GHz quad-core processor while the Liquid Zest 4G is packing a 1.3GHz quad-core processor and support for 4G LTE connectivity. Both devices sport a 5-inch 720p HD screen at the front with a 8MP main camera at the back. Helping out with selfies is a 5-megapixel front facing shooter.

160222-acer-liquid-jade-2-launch-9

Being a budget smartphone, the Acer Liquid Zest will be priced at EUR109 (around RM507) while the LTE-enabled model will go for EUR149 (around RM693). However, there is no information on the pricing and availability of the Liquid Jade 2.
