This phone is old, that's why it isn't good

AnonM

At last, this is not a recommended phone to have. Mine has broken few years ago, with the third replacement unit, I gave up when it is broken and goes with a new phone, I actually get a Xiaomi Mi Max that goes far much better than this, I prefer larger screen phone. At the time of buying, at around $250, it is a steal. However, many thing on it is a no go. It heats up easily and drain battery until no end. It's officially just being updated to Android 4.2.2, nothing more. It got dual speaker on the right sides, but the sound quality is among the worst. Camera has fancy quadruple LED lights, but camera quality is bad. The only thing appreciated is its larger 6" screen, and its near stock Android experience, which become a huge fans favorite for years to come, but not at year 2013. It is being complained of being too plain, not even has a file manager and gallery app. The last moment I have with this phone is the phone heat up so much until the board or wire broken, then it never came alive again. I wouldn't suggest any Acer phone anymore.

Well, you can continue saying Oneplus One beat out by Oneplus Two, Oneplus 3, and any other newer phone. I own both, and the S2 is the older phone, with inferior spec, but it is also the one that is much more stable, typically zero bugs. The Oneplus One always introduce new bugs upon new updates. Yes, Oneplus One do get Android 6.0, but it doesn't improve on stability, it often restart itself, then many apps crash. For this S2? Oh my, I load it up with full apps, even side loaded many apps which it doesn't support on apps store, but I can run those without any issue. Miracle? I don't know. I plug in 64GB Micro SD card on the S2, which literally has more storage than a fixed Oneplus One, I call this a draw. Not saying Oneplus One is very bad, but certainly not the best. It worry me more than the S2. Not typically a fan boy, I am not geeky as those who like to flash with custom ROM on Oneplus One, I am just a normal user that like to stick with their original ROM and know side load trick. At the time owning both phones, the S2 is the cheaper one after price drop purchase, and it certainly earn my respect as the better value phone than the more problematic Oneplus.

If you honestly think that the Acer Liquid S2 is better than a One Plus One, you should definitely consider renewing your eyewear. 2GB of RAM vs 3GB of RAM, same camera capabilities if not more (the OP1 records 4092x2160 while the S2 records 3840x2160), has more updated OS, 64GB option and looks way better IMO. So I'd say you're just a fanboy of your own casebadge and I'd sink down a bit because the reality is on a lower shelf than you put it.

Seems I'm the only user that still use this phone. Still, at this time, this phone still beat out Oneplus One, and those Xiaomi Mi4 and Mi3 in term of value. For starter, I bought it when it's price dropped till 20% cheaper than Oneplus One, and till now, Oneplus X. I mainly use this phone for gaming and multimedia, mainly because of it's 6 inch screen. Still stick to Android 4.2.2, nothing update from Acer. Another thing is, while cheap, this thing still packing Micro SD slot. I already get used to this phone. Actually satisfied with it, despite it's speaker is bad, and camera is bad.

I don't think there is shop can repair the crack screen. This is because this phone is so rare that even normal shop don't know how to repair this phone. There might be spare part sold on various online,but I do doubt those part can be used. Still, stick to Acer for their genuine support. Mine, at least I'm satisfied with them in my country, they replace my Liquid S2 with new unit without question,this is the third Liquid S2 with me for more than 8 months.

Used after one year. This is Acer Android phone that fail to be their flagship. Totally no support from Acer, only Android 4.2.2. Very poor camera, and speaker, very bad battery life, overheating. Screen also of lowend with yellow backlight. Better buy Samsung Galaxy Note 3 than this piece of crap. It's price is just a bit cheaper than Note 3 at launch, but everything from it just feel like a midrange offering, but with highend processor, 1080p screen. Internal only 16GB, 2GB RAM. Nothing much can compete.

Again, quite here. Used for another 3 month, no breakdown. Standard issue: 1. Overheating 2. Battery drain，poor battery 3. Poor camera 4. Poor speaker. But performance wise, still much faster than the Mediatek Helio X10 processor, faster than Intel Z3580 processor, and beat all Snapdragon 615, eventhough those processor are capable of far better benchmark score than this SD800.

Finally get back a replacement unit. Not a new unit, but similar used unit. I think the overheating is making the phone broken. If I gaming on something like Asphalt 8 or Real Racing 3, the phone heat up until 52 celcius. After that, the heat will damage the phone component. I think the 1st unit that died is because of overheating, causing motherboard failure. The 2nd unit that died is because of overheating on LCD screen until the wire broken. Now I am well aware on phone over heating. Excessive heating will cause the phone broken. I should use it for light gaming and web browsing only. By the end of November 2015, this phone is being used for 1 year. I hope this one won't die easily.

After using the new replacement phone for one month, this phone died again. This time is more serious, the screen itself start black out 1st, leaving the phone still alive. The 3 touch sensitive hardware key still light up, but I can't use the phone anymore without the screen. I manage to connect the phone to computer to copy out all the important stuff. After a few minute, the phone keep restarting itself without the screen on, and eventually died away after several restart. Now, it can't turn on any more, no notification LED light up when plug in charger. Going to return to service center again. Won't advice people to buy Acer phone again.

After around 3weeks, I get my broken phone back. To my surprise, Acer replace a new phone for me without any charge. Well, good news is I get the new phone, bad news is it still a phone with issue. Speaker still low, battery drain fast, camera is below average. Considered good service for replacing my phone, but all the data inside that phone is gone.

Anonymous

Finally, this phone is dead. The phone suddenly drain all the battery, and won't charge if plug in to charger. Suspect is battery issue, or board issue. The power button become unresponsive after long use. Sending to service center for repair. Feel disappoint to this phone. To be fair comparison, the similar timeline phone, such as Samsung Galaxy Note 3, HTC One Max, Sony Xperia Z Ultra, LG G Pro 2, would be the much better phone than this.

After 8 month of usage, battery life start decreasing a lot, almost heavy use cannot last a day. Use 3rd party camera apps to improve image quality. The default camera apps produce image that is far too grainy in low light condition. The power button start to loosen, a bit hard to turn on the phone. Phone over heating to 50 degree Celsius under heavy game, and usage. The phone also over heating if move huge file from internal memory to Micro SD card. Other than those problem, so far the phone performance is very satisfied, very minimal lag, no hang, no sudden shutdown, no auto restart, very fast even loaded with many task, and very stable even occupy internal storage with full apps. Thanks to the Snapdragon 800 processor. This is the last good phone ever produced by Acer. Other newer Acer phone now using the cheaper MTK processor, is not well perform compare to this. Overall, a very under rated phone, which price drop until cheaper than Oneplus One. And the sad truth is, Acer is giving up this phone due to poor sales, no OS update and not much accessory being made. Hope Acer can come back with a much better phone, with high spec Snapdragon processor, same high quality screen, and with better camera and speaker.

Sadly, Acer not going to update the Android OS on this phone. It is stuck with the dated version 4.2.2, with some of the software bugs. Stay away from this phone, even though now it is selling in a very attractive price. Get a phone from establish brand (Samsung, LG, Sony, HTC, Huawei, Oppo) rather than a budget minded brand, where establish brand will still invest on supporting the old phone in term of software, but other brand just abandon the old model all together.

Correction, the supplied earphone is very good. The only let down by this phone is the poor external speaker, which is shame to bear the Dolby Digital Plus trademark.

Anonymous

After I have used this phone for almost 2 months, here's are my thought. But you won't really need to bother about it, as this phone won't be sold any more. The phone is consider outdated, other better phone are around for sometime. Pros 1. No bloatware. Yes. This is the no frill experience you get from an Android device, with just minor skinning on top of original OS. Others just stay faithful to the original vanilla Android. You get more than 12GB user usable storage on internal 16GB storage. 2. The battery life is very good. Given the bigger screen. I turn on 4G for whole day, with 3300mah battery, it easily can last for one day on normal use. 3. It has FM radio on board. I don't use the feature, anyway. Cons 1. The speaker is among the worst among the crowd, big disappointment here. Speaker volume is very low, and the sound quality is very worse, very muddy sound 2. Not very user friendly, if you are coming from other phone brand, like Samsung. But, you still can reach the feature, just that you cannot direct access to them, you have to go into setting to do all that stuff. 3. The capacitive button is not that responsive. I'm coming from a user using on screen button and physical button. But, you will get use to that soon. Just you may feel annoying if those button is less responsive than other kind of button. 4. The camera is also a big disappointment as well. It is better than a 8MP camera with capturing more detail, but it cannot compete with other 13MP camera on other brand phone. Image detail is not the best, the auto focus feature cannot work most of the time on close object. You have to touch for many time to get focus on closer object. Even you turn on "Macro Focus" feature, it just can't focus. 5. The supplied ear phone is just bad as well. Neutral (more on personal preference) 1. The 1080p screen actually is pretty good, but the screen backlight is using a warm color LED, so you will see the yellow tint on white color content if you set the screen brightness at very low. This can be annoying if you get used to cool white LED on other phone, where your eye may prefer the bluish white on other phone screen. This is more on personal preference. 2. As the feature is less, the phone actually is much simpler to use. But, the phone feature are too less, much lesser than cheaper brand phone, until you may feel it is not user friendly. On normal use, it is not that bad actually. It is still an Android device, which offer wide range of customization, but not as many as other flagship brand phone. 3. The phone is pretty fast on normal usage, Snapdragon S800 chipset really do the job here. But, it is not as fast as other comparable phone. Well, maybe the phone is not optimize for optimum performance. But, compare to previous generation smartphone, this is much faster than those. 4. The phone still stick to Android 4.2.2 until today. You may feel that they don't have the plan to update the phone to newer Android version, that make you feel frustrated. But for me, it is not a big deal, as long as the phone is stable. I have heard many issue after updating to Android 4.3 and 4.4. 5. There is minor lag on the phone, just a slight lag. But it is not going into hang situation. 6. Due to low popularity, no third party casing and cover for the phone. It is pretty hard to find any of those. Conclusion 1. Not really a bad phone either, but the effort Acer put on this phone seems too less. So, it is ok if you to go for other similar alternative phalet, like Samsung Galaxy Note 3, LG G Pro 2, HTC One Max, Oppo Find 7a, Sony Xperia Z Ultra, Oneplus One. The premium you paid over those phone is worth it, as you really get those extra benefit that this phone cant offer, in term of hardware quality, and software feature. (Yes, this phone is cheaper than Oneplus One by the time I bought it) 2. Given the price, now drop to only half of other flagship phone, this can be your ultimate secondary phone. It has all the performance of high end phone, but definitely not the best in the crowd. It won't has many feature, but the phone is snappy, very fast. If you really want a good flagship phone, stay away from this, as it gonna disappoint you a lot, it doesn't on par with those more expensive competitor. But, if you like to have something different, a totally different brand of gadget that you may unheard off, with almost near comparable high end performance, along with the cheapest price tag, this is definitely something of a steal. The phone itself actually is quite good looking (more attractive than Samsung Note 3), and the build quality is also very good. It has 4 LED flash light rounded the camera. Just the main issue here is the bad speaker quality, and not perfect camera performance.

It is very quiet at here. It seems this phone is quietly forgotten by most of the people. Ok, 1st usage will find this phone is draining the battery like a defect unit. It is the software bugs comes with the OS. After I installed the battery saver apps. This phone can last more than one day on moderate usage, with 4G and GPS turn on. Camera wise, the auto focus is very slow, and it cannot focus on object most of the time. The speaker is very poor (worse than my cheap ASUS tablet）. The user interface is not as user friendly as other flagship phone. The feature is there, but you can't access directly. Overall, bought this phone just because of the sudden price drop, almost half price of popular brand, and want to own a different brand. This review is wrote by using Liquid S2.

Another update. The battery management of this phone is very poor. By default, on high performance mode, the battery will keep draining even not using the phone. You will feel the overall phone is heated at the back of the lower part. The "Dolby Digital Plus" metal logo get heat up easily. The idling time of the phone will be around 7 to 8 hour. However, setting the phone to power saving mode will make the phone cool down, but this is affecting the phone performance, create more lagging and apps load much slower and perform slower. The only solution is to install a 3rd party battery saving apps. After installing battery saving apps, no more battery draining. The phone perform as fast without draining the battery. The battery also become cold and does not heat up anymore.

Just as a cons update. The speaker of the phone is very poor. The sound is broken, and is very quite. Forget about the Dolby Digital Surround, they make the sound worse. The screen actually is quite detail, but color reproduction is not on par. White color is yellowish, and the overall color is not very interesting. Viewing angle is not good. The camera also is a little buggy, taking very long time for auto focus. The software feature is very very less friendly. It miss out a lot of basic feature. It doesn't have "File Manager" by default. It even take more step to change the wallpaper on lock screen and home screen. The Android version is stuck at 4.2.2, and no further update is announce. All in all, not the best in the crowded choice, and definitely not an all rounder. Look else where if you really want a good phalet. However, it is only let down by it's software feature, the hardware is actually quite on par with other highend phalet, except the speaker, and the screen.

Just returned a defect unit and get a brand new unit. Now, this phablet has price drop below the Oneplus One and Xiao Mi Mi4 price. The only advantage this phone has over other budget phone is, you still get Micro SD card slot, which can move apps to it. Performance wise, it is on par with those SnapDragon 800 processor. The real different here is the very Vanilla version of Android, that is not included with any bloatware (but sadly, file manager is also missing). But, it is stuck with version 4.2.2. Software feature is very basic. No IR blaster, but FM Radio is present. It play nice with every high graphic game. If you want bigger screen size , 6 inch, with all highend spec in a much simpler OS, and don't care about the branding, then this phalet is a good contender for those who are in the budget.

Just bought this phone. Just half price now, cheaper than Oneplus One and Xiao Mi Mi4. Take my money please. Note 3 spec with oni half price. I just get one. Only verdict would be the non-removable battery, and it is using nano sim. Love the premium look and much more stylish design.

I can use my Acer S2 to record 1080 and 4K video. I usually use 1080 to record family video but sometimes I will use 4K. 4K video is big in file size and the maximum recording time is 5 min.

AnonD-216342

They have updated the phone today, still 4.2.2 but the "Worlds first 4k phone" now has had 4k and 1080p 60fps recording disabled, Oh great! Like I have said from the beginning the camera wasn't great, it got slightly better with previous update, but that caused 4k and 1080p recording to play up, now you can't even choose it from the menu! So they don't seem to fix the problems, just turn them off. Zero chance of KitKat I feel. Current Build: Acer_AV052_S520_1.132.00_EMEA_GEN1L Previous Build: Acer_AV052_S520_1.118.00_EMEA_GEN1L Shame as the phone is actually great, good screen, good battery life, nice and fast... Just the camera & camcorder let it down.

Notebook Check have now done their usual thorough review, and it isn't great news. Basically this is a very good mid range phone trying to be topdog, let down by minor faults in primary areas and a camera that is not as good as the current big players. See what you think. Still need GSM to do the pictures!

AnonD-216342

Just to let you guys know, that Acer are still working away on the updates, despite the company problems. I was shocked to have had my second one this evening, still 4.2.2 though. Build: Acer_AV052_S520_1.118.00_EMEA_GEN1L Was: Acer_AV052_S520_1.090.00_EMEA_GEN1L

AnonD-225195

I have been using this handset now for the last few weeks and what i have found is that it IS a good handset but with some minor flaws in software and ways to cover it. For a start the camera is pretty good but does lack Image stabilisation like the major players (in my own opinion), next the sound from it is good but for some reason feels like a hotel tv when as you are locked from cranking it up to full volume, next the brightness needs to be unlocked a bit more so you can turn it down bit lower than its lowest settings as for some reason it consumes over 73% of my battery, if it was lower it would be better, and finally i would have liked it on 4.3 or Kitkat by now but we shall wait and see. Other than the fact that i cannot find ANY cases or covers that are under $20.00 (£10.00), the cheapest ive found are french leather ones for around £44.00 ($88.00) i find it to be a fresh alternative to the big players, just a pitty its not pushed much nor is there any updates or cases/covers for it!

Just found a review at They gave 4 out of 5 with lots of positives, but no detail on photograph quality. In view of your experience we still need reviews of the version available now (I never know whether they alter anything on the latest production model). Come on GSM, lets have your opinion in a full review.

You can buy this one in Europe already, so I dont think you only are.

AnonD-216342

No problem about your comments, totally understand. You are dead right about Acer not promoting the phone etc, I have a feeling they will move on to a newer model, I also feel like I'm the only one with this phone at the moment, in reality, obviously not, but I bet it's no more than a handful. Seems like this phone with soon be the "bastard child" nobody want's to talk about! lol I must say, the camera isn't too bad once it's turned down like I said in my previous posts, but still not as good as my original galaxy note, which is the biggest disappointment. But the rest of the phone is growing on me (not like fungus!), seriously though, the screen is lovely and the battery is very good now I've had it for a few weeks. All of this is just my personal views as there are no real reviews yet, I have no agenda, just being honest, happy to answer questions if I can. Cheers

Hi Shingles, your comments on 28 Dec about my comments. I was not saying anything about your ownership but that Acer themselves do not have information on any fone company in the UK who have it/will have it on contract, and I have not found any. This suggests that if I want it I have to buy it outright. Even at £425 the cost of a sim only deal makes this £100 more expensive than a Note 3 over 2 years contract. The rest of my comments suggested that Acer do not appear interested in helping promote the fone, and the fact that there appears to be no detailed reviews suggests something wrong. I, like you, want a fone with a great camera, so your "review" is very helpful in showing that the S2 appears to be a letdown. As I said, reviews are desperately needed. Many thanks for your feedback

AnonD-210143

The phone is very heavy and lot less compact.5-5.2 inch size is ideal for all smartphones.Sony XperiaZL is an ideal compact phone which other smartphone makers should see and emulate.

AnonD-216342

Continued: Also found that I had set the camcorder to 1080p 60fps has a worse quality output than the 1080p 30fps, so once again you have to "dumb-down" the phone for in my view an acceptable quality output, the camera/camcorder is the weakest part of this phone. I hate to say this but my Mobius mini cam/car recorder (£40) has a better video output, by a long way. That said I'm enjoying the screen, it's super fast and the battery life seems great, so not all bad, just very disappointed by the expectations of the new super "worlds first" 4k capturing phone,

AnonD-216342

My phone was not on contract, brought sim free in the UK via Expansys, does that answer any doubts that I own one? Actually in regards to the camera in my previous posts, I have found a few settings to get the best out of the "poor" camera. When I originally setup the camera, I of course changed the settings to max i.e. 13MP and standard 4/3 width for easy printing etc. But over the last week I've found it's better to have it turned down to 10MP and widescreen (It wont let you have 13MP/widescreen), makes a difference, but whats the point boasting about 13MP if you need to lower it to get a better photo.

Anonymous

Regarding Shingles comments. I have just been on live chat to Acer UK(?) and been told that they have no details of anyone selling this phone on contract. They just repeated "our authorised resellers" or similar, but the list that came up was of companies who sell their laptops, not their phones! Funny no reviews other than "hands on" from 4 months ago. Perhaps Shingles has uncovered the problem; may be it is great on paper but not so good in practice. GSM we need a review urgently!

AnonD-216342

I'm in the UK, I had mine delivered last Saturday, a black one. Came from a Galaxy note original. Overall not that impressed really, granted the screen is great, battery life is okay, the biggest let down is the camera, like a 6 year old HTC desire I had, in fact worse! Terrible pixelization, even on a sunny day at iso 100. Want to shoot in low light? Forget it, everything looks like a watercolour painting. Basically the camera is not good, which isn't a good thing as Acer are pushing the camera/camcorder. Video recording isn't brilliant either, thought it might be super, seeing as the phone will shoot 4k, no point really if 1080p isn't very good. Hopefully the problems can be rectified via firmware, if not, it will get slaughtered in the official reviews. Just to add, it came with Android 4.2.2 I'm no Acer hater, I have a few of their products, I'm just being honest, I so wanted this phone to be the superb, I just feel a bit let down, maybe I believed the hype/specs too much, oh well another expensive lesson learned.

Poor acer ......

If Acer thinks that Delaying the launch of a new Phone is a Strategy that creates a Die Die situation that Potential Customers will wait to buy the S2 then Acer should quit the Mobile Phone business. They do not understand how fast big Players like Samsung, LG etc will launch their Products in matters of weeks. These are the Companies who make money fast and they deserve it. Acer you can wait until Kingdom comes, my 2 friends and I already changed our mind to buy Note 3 instead of your Phone S2 sorry no time for you. Good Luck

Will it be available in Hong Kong ? Liquid S1 is really good !

Taiwan

Raj

Guys any idea, when it would be releasing in INDIA?

Nick

Liquid s2 will be releasing at end of november

Johny

AVI is really just a container filetype, the same as eg. MKV or MP4 are. The codec used is the thing that matters. With Snapdragon 800 you can decode pretty much anything using software rendering, so it's not a problem even if there isn't hardware acceleration for some codec.

Geezus

Seems awesome, but no avi support?

dual sim?

When it release ?

KALTKIRK

Coudn't find the S2 mentioned on their site

mizi

available..let check at online shopping Lazada.com.my or check the spec. at gsmarena.com

Fed-up of waiting...

The phone will be old even before its released... No reply from acer email or call center customer care....

AnonD-90736

I did ask this question on their facebook page and Acer UK confirmed an end of October release for the UK and Europe but strangely their has been no specific announcement yet.

Rohit

when this phone will launch in india??????????

Mazalan

this phone avaiblable at Malaysia?

Braize

does this phone will be available Sri Lanka

I have an ACER Cloud Mobile S500 and i'm very satissfied with it. It is durable and relyable.

Nasir

does this phone will be available U.A.E

IggyZ

It is coming out very soon for sure. Acer just has incredibly bad marketing strategy which is absolutely mind-boggling given that this is probably their first device which can compete successfully with the big players on the smartphone market... Mid-November and in some places even earlier you will be able to get it in their online store.

vincents2

I have see a reply by acer staff in HK forum recently. He said that there would be announcement in November 2013. Is there anyone used Acer cell phone before? Is it durable ?

Vincent

Based on the information of Hong Kong forum, the acer's staff said there would be announcement in November 2013. I am waiting for this phone too. Anyone used acer's phone before? Quality ok? Durable !?

Ashoaib

I think this is a future phone/prototype because I didnt find any info abojt this phone on acer's website... when acer is not putting any detail about this phone on their website, how come media is telling its own perception that it will release at the end of october?... sounds like media is creating own assumptions without having proper information

AnonD-70660

I sent Acer and email asking about release, no response. I asked on Acer forum, no answer! No word on the official webpage of Acer. Wtf is wrong with Acer? Totally silent regarding release...

Ashoaib

When they gonna release it? IFA states end of october... which is already near and all website seems complete silent, even Acer's own website... seems like Acer forget that they introduced a phone in IFA berlin... I hope they will price it rightly, probably lower than its main rival Note 3...

Anonymous

brightness and screen are the best features of this device. I have seen it for real

Anonymous

If this phone, comes with affordable price. WILL BE NUT CRACKER, EXTREME ONE. WRITE THIS AT SOMEWHERE, YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBER. I'm only affraid about LCD type and brightness these things were allways off-quality. Especially brightness...

dorrol

I am sure, that Liquid s2 is a very cool device-when I search Infos about Liquid S2 (Release) I can't find nearly nothing.also on the official website there are no Infos...so I think, that Acer seems not to bee interested about the success in the smartphone market..I go and get the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

Mr. Curious

Hi guys do you know whether the Liquid S2 handset support USB OTG and whether it has MHL or HDMI?

Eager Buyer

Acer must not follow the foot step of some Phone Makers by delaying release of their new launches, in this case the wonderful Liquid S2. Do not forget the X'mas season is coming and for those potential Buyers of this Phone, they may switch to buy other Brands if you keep them waiting TOO LONG. I have 2 other friends and myself waiting to get our hands on it.

dorrol

you are not alone!

dorrol

I waited for the iPhone 5s - then I saw Acer Liquid S2 an now I look forward to the release of the phaboulous Acer phablet! Does somebody know something about the Date of release in Switzerland?

AnonD-90736

Acer UK informed me yesterday that this phone will be arriving in the UK by the end of October, that's very good news.

Venkey

Suggestions to Acer... Acer it looks like you have put all specifications right and very impressive now it's all about delivery and Performance of the device hope it works as expected.... Was waiting for Note 3 now using Note 2 but frankly I have changed my mind... Please Please ship it fast and now just like that I will download your device from Internet :-)... Just can't wait to put my finger prints on it... Mind blowing... Now you bad boy will give me sleep less nights till the launch in India... Now you have to pay me for the delay you make..... And finally don't don't don't make the pricing mistakes that Samsung did to Note 3.... Here in India there is bloodshed war for the device and an utter flop of the device.... 50k to 30k in 20 days? Stupidity.... I think if everything is set right you can do what Samsung did for note 1 and 2 the name and fame and market share..... Now with this monster I think you can beat the competition... Good luck guy's fingers crossed....

Marcus

I want this phone. I want it now. when will it be release. please tell me

AnonD-195404

I'm so mad! I don't think it will work with tmobiles high speed internet bands

rj23

I saw an article about the release date of theLiquid S2 from Acer and your country (the US) and Canada will have this device anytime this month and the Philippines (my country) will have it by November. Let's keep our fingers crossed for 100% accuracy of the news I have read. :)

rj23

I saw an article where someone confirmed that the Liquid S2 by Acer will be released and be available this October in the US and in Canada then probably November in the Philippines! I just hope that it is true. I want this and nothing else! :)

AnonD-145385

Hi Have the Acer Liquid E2. I can recommend the brand to you as my experience has been really great. call quality very good, doesnt drop calls and internet speeds very good, and the list can go on..

AnonD-181483

Please bring the S2 in the Philippines! I hope it's the dual sim version. You would truly make my xmas truely happy!

OD

Yes I do agree with you. It is not something I want to buy. Going from a 5.5 to a 5.7. As well as combining the Note 2 and the S4 to make the Note 3. Not very impressed at all. I have a note 2. I want something that has a little more innovative look and feel to it. As well as better functionality. As far as I have read this phone meets all my needs. I just hope it is US bound. This phone I would upgrade to.

zynier

go for iphone 5s

AnonD-153562

it has ring flash multiple flash

Jeet

I would have gone with samsung galaxy note 3 but i was pretty disappointed with the display size just 5.7". I think no one is going to pay extra rs 20000 for mere 0.2" inch as far as the prices and specs r concerned. If someone is satisfied with 5.5" then lg optimus g pro is the best option and if someone is interested in a somewhat more bigger display then acer liquid s2 is the best option. Well thats my opinion. Plz acer launch it soon in india. I cant wait anymore.

JWFK

I agree with you will buy this phone rather than Note 3 It looks beautiful

rj23

It is also a good alternative since it uses an Intel processor but the lack of flash makes the Acer Liquid S2 a monster in its own right. :)

Choices

Besides this (Liquid S2) you have two more option/choice when shopping for these kind of devices. 1) Alcatel One Touch Hero. 2) Asus Fonepad Note6. I personally prefer the Asus but that's just me. Cheers.

AnonD-89174

In my opinion LG G2 is okay but Liquid S2 looks much more beautiful and is more than powerful than the G2 is someways. The camera's ring flash (4 led flashes) will perform better in low light photography plus it has 4K video recording too though I know some might react that 4K videos nowadays won't matter that much but knowing that your device is capable of recording it is a plus. I will choose the Liquid S2 by Acer over its top competitors Samsung Galaxy Note 3, HTC One Max, LG G2 and Sony Xperias Z1 and Z Ultra.

AnonD-78383

Most likely

AnonD-89174

I am eagerly waiting for the Note 3, G2 and the Z1 here in the Philippines but now I saw this bad boy and I should say I suddenly lost my interest with Sony's, LG's and Samsung's products. Acer designed this phone better than the three. I hope this comes to the Philippines just in time for the Christmas season! I hope though that this won't be more expensive than the Z1 and Note 3. G2's price is a bit cheaper and I hope this Acer Liquid S2 is in the same price range as LG's. Please release it here in the Philippines Acer! I am begging you! I wanna have a very unique device with the same power as the other devices. And I bet this one performs the same as the G2, Note 3 and Z1 if not better. This has 4K video recording (that doesn't matter much but having it is an edge over the G2 and Z1 which don't have this). Plus the 4 led lights around the camera is the best for taking photos in low lighting conditions. Continue doing a great job Acer! :)

Graz

I really hope this phone will arrive in the UK! I heard it will be cheaper than the Galaxy note 3 and I think it has more features I'm interested in instead of software gimmicks. I'd miss a stylus, it's a shame the battery isn't replaceable and it is a little big, but these are trade-offs really.

Jeet

Its really the most amazing n best of all phones in the market as far as the specs n looks r concerned. I just love this phone n wanna buy it. Plz launch it as soon as possible in INDIA acer. When r u going to launch this in india??? Plz inform us.. I cant wait anymore...

Stinky

My question is. Will this phone work on Sprint. I sure hope so. Is this phone strictly gsm or with there be a cdma version? I really want this phone. So far best on the market that I have seen.

iKristiaan

Really looking forward to this device. Looks absolutely GORGIOUS on design purposen not even mentioning its specs. Looking forward seeing this device go head to head against a NOte3 or LG G2 Pro. GJ Acer

iKristiaan

You are always able to order it online, and get it shipped to your countrie, mate. So don't worry about that. :)

Its really a great phone with great features and killer specs. Acer has really given a big challenge to companies like samsung, htc etc. Samsung has cheated their fans by making note 3. I m really disappointed that samsung has given screen size of 5.7" to its highly anticipated smartphone. Only a meagre .2 mm increase from note 2. Really disappointing. I love the specs of liquid s2. I m eagerly waiting to see this phone, its camera with ring flash, its whopping big full hd 1080p display. Good job acer.

AnonD-182744

Well talking about notebooks Acer is a brand that you can trust, I don't know in phones because unfortunately in my country I can't buy one, but I will buy it if I could. If Acer makes phones as they makes computers, so the Liquid S2 is a good option =)

abhi

is this have removable battery................ specs are amazing..... ACER not tried and not even any friends ... can i trust this brand as much as nokia or samsung...plz answer this let me switch to this....

If It's Cheaper 100$ Than The Note3, Then Will Buy It...

Good Job Acer. This very well designed Phone comes with 2 Speakers and a card Slot to cater for 128GB memory card. This is what I am looking for in the market. Hopefully the music reproduction is good with the DTS enhancement. I'll sell away my Note 2 and buy this phone. Forget about Note 3. Pls launch it quickly.

Mobilemaster

OK OK guys, I checked the pictures later, and I saw it has a Ring LED Flash. I thought it does not have, because this is something I never seen before.

how come liquid s2 name but not waterproof epic fail

Anonymous

there are about 4 LED flash surrounding the camera search it on youtube"

AnonD-134335

The Acer Liquid S2 has an LED Ring Flash. Look at the rear view image of the phone. The part of the phone that inscribes (encircles) the camera lens of the phone is the LED Ring flash. An LED Ring Flash is a photographic flash that fits around the lens. The use of LED Ring Flash is to increase the image quality of pictures capture at low-light and macro shots.

edy

Yes it has. It is around the camera in form of a ring.

bishke

Ring flash!

AnonD-178049

Primary 13 MP, autofocus, LED ring flash

AnonD-115488

it has a ring type led flash. better than the usual led flash

AnonD-168700

With a cpu and gpu identical with those in Xperia Z Ultra, this monster packs a whole lot more bang for the bucks. Ring LED flash, that's just new and awesome! Now the Note 3 must have the specs that dwarfs this phone to get some serious attention. I believe this phone also will not even be as expensive as the likes of Z Ultra.

AnonD-13959

hey it's even better man... it's ring flash

memo90frost

In the specs it says ring flash, and if you watched and hands on videos, you would see that it has 4 (four) LED flash.
