Acer Liquid Z4 - User Reviews

  • The only thing this phone is good at is being a backup phone with so many unnecessary application running in background. Otherwise this is trash due to its 400mb or or less RAM and the 512mb RAM stated is incorrect.

  • Anonymous, my brother has like 10 apps on the same phone.

  • Exuse me this phone does not have secondary camera.

  • please i have deleted some application in my phone and now its is no longer working well. secondly i have problem of space with an 8GB memory card and my picture are not clear

  • its a terrible phone for normal users. it constantly freezes and hang. you cant use many application at the same time.

  • Completely useless to normal people. got ours in 3 Wales and took it to various 3 shops in England, Ireland and Wales to get advice on using after it stopped working, freezing and Roaming kept coming up. The other the shops could not help us as they had never seen one and 2 of the shops said we had been ripped off. Even the shop we bought it from had problems getting it working. Be Warned

  • Where do I start? Constantly crashes, runs slow, switches to flight mode randomly, keeps changing my time zone, no room for more than 2 apps, terrible battery life. The amount of time it takes me to do anything on this phone makes me want to throw it out of a window. Oh and for the record it took 20mins to make this review because the keyboard is so unresponsive

  • Great Phone To Play Flow On And A Few Games And Great For Calls! 2 Or 3 Games And Some Text And Phone And Web Browsing And YouTube Runs Smoothly With The 512MB Of RAM And Really Good For The Price And Great For The Beginner I Am Verp Pleased With This Product I Full Recommend This

  • you'r rghit..freezing and freezing

  • Great Smart Phone if you are doing web browsing or phone and 1 or 2 games 50 mb or under over all i am pretty satisfied

  • The stock firmware that comes with this thing is near useless. Unless you can manage to get a custom firmware running on this thing, avoid it like the plague. Even after you do, you'll have to deal with the fact that the thing weighs a hefty 122 grams despite being relatively small. There are other budget phones much lighter and that don't come with complete garbage firmware. The only real advantage this thing has is the extra button on the back, which can be configured with Xposed to do custom events.

  • very poor software ,,,,always freezing.....

  • ist not a mobile phone !!!! ist a joke !! !! if it was 1$ it will be too cheap !! no more acer phone !!

  • Makes for a decent backup phone. Just don't expect to load it up with every bloated Google app and then run them all at once w/o trouble.

  • Worst phone ever! Always freezing and crashing apps.

  • This phone is like a Atari 2600 converted to an Xbox. Nice interface and all looks good, but specs parts can't follow today's trends. Avoid and get another phone.

  • as a middle range phone , price is good but the major issue on it is the memory overload, you can't run several applications in same time, the cam has poor definition. to conclude , this phone is to avoid.

  • Worst phone ever. Avoid.

  • Hello, I bought Acer liquid Z4, just 3weeks ago and today I wanted to use it, so i connected it to Wi-Fi and all of a sudden it shutdown and is not coming again, the battery is fully charged too, funny enough if you put the charge the blue light comes. Please help me out

  • Bought it for $55 and its great. Had it for 2 months now. Of course you can't expect gs6 speeds but it does its job (for me). It hasn't froze, crashed, or had any problems.

  • I liked this phone at first. Easy to use and did all I wanted but then... Overheating, freezing, constantly having to reboot, very slow processor, switching to in flight mode during calls and finally, Speakers died... permanently! Although seemingly a good phone, totally unreliable. AVOID AT ALL COST!

  • are you sure ? as i can see it seems good , but if the screen really breaks easily then you must take good care.

  • my acer liquid z4 ended up having white screen and don't work anymore and their tablet only works when the charger is plugged and turned off when unplug after 4 months of usage. it sucks!

  • I've used the phone for over six months and I must say it has been a huge disappointment. The battery dies quickly and the phone is so slow.Acer is a big brand but it should improve on phones.

  • My old HTC hd2 is much quicker then this piece of shit

  • can break the screen easily

  • I've had the Z4 for 3 months now and its been a really good device. I. Love the DTS sound and overall design of the phone. The only thing that really bothers me is that the Z4 kills headphones. I have been through 3 pairs. I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but its really annoying. It seems to bend the jack after a while.

  • press and hold power and volume down button together for 2 sec

  • This phone is a stress machine. I will break it someday!

  • hold the power button and the down sound button on the right simulteneously !

  • hi guys how to do the screen shot for acer liquid Z4? pls help !!

  • I have just bought the liquid z200. Charged it the recommended 8 hours before use. Everything worked well, downloaded whatsapp,bbc sport and twitter. When I was opening twitter the phone just went off. Now it doesn't switch on or charge or be picked up by a computer through usb. I have only used this phone for less than 2 hrs

  • Cheep phone, but very .. very slow.. I brought this for my GF, and may be because I compare it with my Atris HD, which is much better.. Camera is the most week point when it come to this phone. And betty indicator is too deep , you can�t see when it�s charging.. Nice design.. good cheep phone..

  • Me and my husband have the same problem, my husbands phone we sent to acer repairs and they replaced the mother board. My phone would freeze when i switched it on so again we contacted them and they sent me an email explaining how to reset it, i have done this and it worked for about a day then switched its self off. Since then it will not start and i have tried ressetting it but to no joy it will not work. Today we contacted acer repair and we are sending them back in again for a second time, in the email it stated that if it turns out to be the software we will be charged £71.50 each!!! When it is not our fault if they can not get the software right its their mistake not ours.

  • I have a brand new Z4 for almost a month. An Acer liquid has stopped & the Battery only last 14 hours when is fully charged on standby.

  • Problem with charging Some apps lags most of the time. Shuts down by itself sometime

  • I have the phone and it is amazing as long as you don't use it as much...

  • why dont you have no phone now ?

  • hi , i m not sure but it sounds to me, that you bought a copy because copies have that kind of problems. heating up too much and batteries run out too soon.. i cant believe that acer product are so bad because acer made great computers and laptops for long time already.. and they are very good quality. so i suppose that acer does have the same quality on phones. but i didnt buy yet. maybe i will buy this one ore asus..i stil try to find out who has the better camera....take care

  • always can put easy speakers who are very cheap or expensiv with emacing sound . no problem

  • one buyer complained about poor speaker sound. for me is clear that for this low price there are not other models who are better.. but that would be no option for me. because you always can put on easily good speakers on the headphone input . there are speakers which are very light and for cheap price , like CREATIV , i bought for 280 baht . and that sound is very good. its ok to tell it , but with speakers to add ,its not really a big thing.. for me is more important how the camera works. if the pictures are sharp and good.. and warming up phone is an issue or batteries who run out energy fast ...

  • amazing handset does everything i want

  • Help i'need stock rom for my acer liquid z4

  • I just want to share my experience with Z4. The pros: 1. The unique dual SIM system let me to choose which SIM card to be used for the 3G / HSDPA internet connection. 2. The design is minimalist yet loveable. Really love it. 3. The 5mpix camera produces nice and focused pics. The flashlight really magnificent. 4. The display is quite nice and the touching response is adequate. Love it. The cons: 1. The battery runs dry so quickly and it has tendency to overheat most of the time. 2. The 4gb memory only leaves 1gb to be used by user. This is so lame. 3. The 512 mb RAM makes the phone runs laggy. Some apps even forced closed most of the times. 4. The DTS system somehow doesn't really helpful to improve the music quality. I own a Samsung Lacota which owns much better music quality. Overall, I still recommend this phone to be bought, only if the user does not have high requests.

  • Very BAD android -Overheat -The endurance is weak -The system is slow I really disappointed for buying this product!!! just Remember, Don't buy this product.

  • "Bad loud speaker phones. Heat up while charging." THAT'S VERY TRUE UNFORTUNATELY!

  • I had exactly the same issue. Had to send it back for repair. I live in Portugal and the repair center is in Barcelona, waited 2 weeks long. But now it's ok.

  • -Bad loud speaker phones. -Heat up while charging. -Rubbish apk slows down the system -No 3G call front camera

  • I have had an Acer Z2 dual SIM card mobile for several years and it has been marvellous, I thought I would update to the newer Acer Liquid Z4 dual SIM mobile and bought one from Expansys. The phone will not charge the battery and will not swith on, Expansys want 30 to 45 days to repair or supply a new one. IN MY OPINION EXPANSYS ARE A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY - BETTER TO BUY ELSEWHERE !!!

  • superb handset

  • I bought my Acer Liquid Z4 four weeks ago I have already the phone twice I got no phone now although I am paying monthly for my contract , not very happy costumer .

  • After only a week using this mobile phone it wouldn't switch on, now I have no phone and it took a week for this phone to get to the repair center. I'm mad as hell. Does anybody else had this issue? It simply didn't switch on.

  • i have a friend whos liquid z4 is stuck on that screen how do i fix liquid z4 frozen screen of death i think that its an electrcal build up which frezzed up the screen of death

  • The best phone I ever had.

  • I just bought it and it's wonderful. Easy to navigate through the internet, downloads pretty well videos. Awesome. You can hear and be heard too pretty well as this was my problem with my last android.

  • I Like Shop Myanmar Fount

  • I think Acer Did a great job

  • Why I can't delete files on Z4 from SD card ? please tell me what happens ? and if you know the problem, give me a solution

  • Bought it @ Orange Store Online.Great cheap smartphone. Value for money and lots of fixtures. Like the dual micro sim cards functionality. Well done Acer.

  • I've had this phone for about a month and it really impress me. The camera, although it only offers 5mpix, but it really is a satisfying one. The photos are nicely produced, even sometimes better than my Acer C1 that has 8mpix. The flash is powerful, even when I take a photo in a completely dark place, the flash will help me so much. The 512mb RAM somehow makes the phone laggy and it's quite annoying me. Moreover, the battery is really a dissapointing one, since it only survives for about 14 - 20h max when I don't connect it to the internet. So, a powerbank would be a wise decision to accompany this phone. Overall, this phone is recommendable. It's price is fair, the features are good (especially the camera) and it supports 2 SIMs.

  • Had phone for two weeks now, great value for money, great apps. definitely worth the money!

  • How bout the display? It said TFT, is that good? My friend used lenovo a390, the display TFT & very bad. Reflective even inside room & the display negative when u see not in right point sorry my english so bad. thanks anyway

  • very good phone, better than imo i memo

  • Bought the phone but when to charge it again is not coming on. Is stuck on Acer logo . Did you happen the same?

  • How to root it..?

  • get update software n you will find better sound

  • I bought this Z4 in yesterday, for battery only 1550 mHa. For the Display is HD Quality. Recommended for value money.

  • for which phone should I go? Xperia E1 or this Liquid Z4???

  • I am wanting to buy the Acer liquid z4 but don't know anything about it please help?

  • Need battery information performance comparing its little brother Azer Z3 which is perfectly long lasting.

  • What about the battery ?

  • Aperture size f/2.0

  • So, is it not good? I would like to buy this phone at the first time, but when I read all of you comment about this smartphone, I'm little bit worry =_= Can someone give additional smartphone to compare with this phone please? thank you.

  • Why it can't download video ?

  • i just buy Acer Z4 and i think DTS sound enhanchment is a joke i don't know if this problem coming from software or speaker but, what a letdown!

  • and you're stupid enough if you can't find the solution. acer perhaps in development to make an update to increase their volume speaker. i know this is acer mistake, but we are a use, find soulution stupid! there's alot of sound booster app that you can download from playstore. try it!

  • For 'me', missed writing 'men' :p. In the official web ; apature camera f2.4 & only 1 sim card slot. But when i buy (maybe just for indonesia market) the apature camera is f2.0 & theres 2 sim card slot. Greatbuy for everyday phone(for me).

  • Do not buy this phone because the sound (ringtone) is very small. When incoming call i can not hear. I think acer create stupid phone.

  • i thinkis 'oke' phone for the price, for men. been using it for 3weeks now.

  • Where you buy it? What is your country? Why you not claim the product guarantee?

  • I ve got this phone for 4 days. First the WIFI fell out, and now the touch screen stopped working. I already did hard reset but nothing changes........ aaaargh.....

  • The MSRP here in Indonesia is IDR 999.000 or around US$ 87. Quite an attractive price IMO.

  • I suppose they are still living in year about 2008-9 :) They need to update their calendars...

  • What the **** is Acer thinking ??? :O :\

  • resolution: better smartwatches weight: my phone of 4.7 inch screen weigth less memory; 4 gb... and what about user free memory? 512 mb like the ram maybe lol ram: not bat but this is not a phone for gamers or run heavy aplications camera: 5 mp its ok but dont have front cam FAIL. android: 4.2 in 2014 with that specs..what are they thinking? final words: this look like a phone to your son,when he destroy it you dont be worried about the amount of money you spend on it ...

  • COMING on the market for �99,-

  • 512 mb ram & vga screen are outdated. Acer should compare with rivals like sony, Samsung , htc. Also Acer is not positive regarding timely launch & updating software versions.

  • Yes u r right about tht

  • Well, this is to sell for less than $150 and hardly any sub. $200 phone has a front cam, it's already great that it has a flash.

  • Its very cool mobile with avg specs but it should at least have an vga front cam.
