After a long hiatus, Acer is taking another shot at the Indian smartphone market with two new budget offerings. The Taiwanese company recently announced the Liquid Z530 and Liquid Z630s Android smartphones, which we first saw at IFA 2015. The new offerings will be sold exclusively through Flipkart and will also be manufactured in India, come December. Acer is testing the waters now and if things pick up, we can expect other models to follow suit.
The Acer Liquid Z630s features a well-built plastic body with pleasing aesthetics. The HD display gets Dragontrail glass for protection as well as a bluelight shield option in the software. The phone sports Android Lollipop 5.1 with Acer’s custom Liquid UI which offers plenty of nifty tweaks. Acer also bundles its BYOC apps and AcerEXTEND which lets you control your phone from your PC. The DTS sound enhancements work well for headphones but aren’t much help for the mono speaker. The camera is also quick to focus in low-light but fails to capture finer details in landscape shots. The battery is also a bit of a letdown considering its mammoth size. Finally, the phone lacks support for TDD-LTE.
