Acer Liquid Z5 ufficiale: nuovo dual-core da 5'' a 169€ (foto)

Acer realizza un nuovo affondo nel settore degli smartphone economici con Liquid Z5, l'ultimo nato di questa celebre famiglia, che è stato appena svelato da un comunicato stampa ufficiale, in anticipo sullo show di Las Vegas che aprirà il prossimo 7 gennaio.

Liquid Z5 si presenza come un 5 pollici in formato 16:9 di risoluzione ignota (lecito non aspettarsi oltre l'HD), con processore dual-core, altrettanto innominato, dal clock di 1,3 GHz, e soli 4 GB di memoria interna che speriamo almeno siano espandibili.

Acer pone un forte accento sulla fotocamera posteriore, che sarebbe la migliore della sua classe: un sensore BSI da 5 megapixel con f/2.4 e 5 elementi invece dei più tradizionali 4, per immagini più definite, grazie anche al filtro infrarosso che rende le foto più realistiche e all'HDR per esaltare colori e contrasti.

Relativamente contenuti dimensioni e peso: 145,5 x 73,5 x 8,8 mm per 147 grammi.

La versione di Android è la 4.2.2, con un minimo di personalizzazione Acer, tra cui le sue floating app che si distribuiscono al di sopra del resto dei contenuti, ed AcerCloud, per il salvataggio e la condivisione di dati multimediali e non.

Buono anche il prezzo, di soli 169€, con disponibilità indicata in metà gennaio in mezza Europa; peccato solo che l'Italia non sia espressamente citata nel comunicato di Acer, che invece comprende i soliti Francia, Germania, Spagna, Regno Unito, ecc.

It touts a dual-core 1.3 GHz processor, 4 GB of internal user storage, Wi-Fi, integrated GPS, and a 5-megapixel camera.

Best-in class snapper
The 5 megapixels camera is a bucket of innovations: it supports BSI technology that enables more light on sensor than traditional FSI, thus delivering better low-light sensitivity; it comes with a 5 elements f2.4 lens, instead of traditional 4 elements, to make pictures even sharper; the 1.4umx1.4um pixel size offers a better quality and less graining while in low light environments.

Lastly, the IR filter reflects infrared delivering of more realistic photos and the HDR solution creates high dynamic rage images combining a higher contrast and more vivid details in one single shot.

Custom profiles 4 you

  • The Liquid Z5 features four different Quick Mode profiles targeted at different users and age groups.
  • Basic Mode: for youngsters with fixed call and text functions;
  • Senior Mode: messages, radio, weather, magnify, clock, quick call contacts to make life easier;
  • Classic mode: all main functions in a simple and organized layout for first time smartphone users;
  • Keypad mode: for people who primarily use voice and need their keypad right away.

Easier multitasking with AcerFloat™ apps
Acer Float™ User Interface allows app windows to stay open, so users can multitask without having to back out of one app to work on another. The press of a key brings up the Float Apps shortcut where apps on a translucent screen float over the function being used.

It is easy to access or toggle between apps like camera, maps, calculator and notes and can be customized with up to 8 favored app shortcuts. A Float Caller notification ensures that users will not be interrupted by incoming calls that take over the full screen. When a call comes in, the Float Caller mini-window pops up and the user can choose to take the call or reply with a quick message.

Easy to Share Files and Media
Acer smartphones also support AcerCloud, a file sharing and media management solution that lets users easily retrieve, enjoy and share their multimedia and data files using a variety of computing devices, including the backup of your photos for 30 days. AcerCloud simplifies the management of digital assets across devices, regardless of platform, and is free on new Acer products.
