Acer recently said that it would introduce six or seven Android handsets this year, and the new Liquid S1 is one of them. Officially announced today, the Liquid S1 is, in fact, a phablet – even the company calls it that. Sporting a 5.7 inch HD (1280 x 720) display, the Acer Liquid S1 runs [...]

Acer will unveil its first phablet in June, could be cheaper than its competitors
These days, phablets (phone/tablet hybrids) are everywhere.

Acer intros Liquid C1 Android phone with Intel Atom Z2420 Lexington CPU
Acer has unveiled another new smartphone for 2013: the Liquid C1. Unlike the Liquid E1 seen last week, the C1 is a special product, as it’s the company’s first handset powered by an Intel processor (single-core 1.2GHz Atom Z2420 Lexington, to be exact). As you’ve probably guessed, the Liquid C1 is not a high-end device. [...]

With CES 2013 underway, Acer has decided to officially announce its low-end B1 tablet.

As expected, this is going to be [...]

Acer Iconia B1 leaks with low-end specs, Android 4.1
Acer’s working on a new Android tablet. And it’s going to be a pretty low-end offering, at least compared to today’s main stars in terms of sales in that category.
