The Liquid E2 to its release one year ago, had managed a good number équlibriste juggling compromises, he managed to provide a balanced phone at the cheapest price, and the success was the appointment. And aside from its internal memory of 4 GB a fair bit, it was not much to complain about, even regardless of price.
To design the E3 liquid, Acer takes the E2 and changes him just three elements:
1 - The camera goes from 8 to 13 megapixel camera + flash a front for "selfies". In practice, the quality of the overall picture remains rather the same: Fairly good.
2 -. The screen that goes from 4.5 to 4.7 "and increases its resolution to pass The display is always clean and nice.
3 - Configurable button on the back (much like on the LG G2), which serves as quick access to the application of your choice.
And all the rest is kept as is, to the battery, which the E2 sufficient to power a widely day on this E3 has struggled (7 to 11 am) because of the resolution and the largest diagonal. So relatively reduced autonomy.
The 4 GB internal memory sufficient in theory because that can be supported by a memory card, in practice they turn out very fair because android ends up occupying 3/4, and many applications need to stay on the phone and not the memory card, and there will be no place for everyone. So get ready to make trade-offs.
The phone comes with android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and will rise to Android 4.4 kitkat. The overlay software acer remains rather discreet and practical, it also offers the possibility to switch to a simplified interface for just calling and sending text messages ... certainly useful for some seniors ...
Otherwise, the phone is quite late, finishes and design are always clean, a pleasant surprise given the price, the reactivity of the very correct device and teasers Wifi, THE NETWORK, and very good GPS. As against the G4 is still absent.
Special mention for the quality of the sound, which remains higher than that found on many high-end phones. In multimedia as communication.
In conclusion, I would tend to say that it was good one year ago is a little less today, especially with less autonomy. But objectively and in practice, to use "Honest" or "Basic", and 200, that E3 liquid is still a good choice in this price range, although it does not arouse the same enthusiasm as the E2 a year before its release.
