  • Great for phoning and texts. Good camera. Memory however is USELESS. I can't even update the factory installed apps !!!!!! How useless is that. I've tried Acer help etc no use.

  • nope.

  • this fon is for calls and sms only.after I experienced problems with my z500 I give up.i just used it now as a back up fon in case my other fon went dead on battery.also sometimes as a flashlight...

  • Hi! suddenly my mobile went off and it doesn't switch on ,would you please tell me what to do? thanks

  • Is this suitable for 4G or LTE kind of Sim Cards?

  • Good phone, excellent camera. BUT having used it for some months l keep getting the message ' insufficient memory ' l have no extra apps and few messages or pictures. I have a 32sd card but it makes no difference. As a non technical pension er what am I doing wrong?

  • me too, After 2 years of owning this phone, it's finally dead. I am sad because i still use and my data lost.

  • I have also the same problem of damaged screen and there is no shop have the screen of this phone plz help us

  • my phone cant read my sim card

  • Ive had this phone for a little over a year now. Started becoming problematic after the first months. Problems such as: -Turning off by itself. -Internal storage error whenever i want to install apps. Doesnt work even after i cleared cache. -Heats up. -Turns off sometimes after i take a picture or video on whatsapp. -Battery goes from 60% to 45% in a few mins then turns off and when i switch it on battery is at 55%. -Turned off all motion settings but songs change by itself while im jogging and screen is locked. -....And many many more to come i assure you..stay tuned guys. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE! IF YOU ARE ON A BUDGET AND CANT AFFORD ANYTHING BETTER A 2ND HAND SAMSUNG WILL DO A MUCH MUCH BETTER SERVICE THAN THE ACER Z500 LIQUID LEAP. Acer did not give two shits when they made this phone, its a different brand of the blackberry. Problems from start to finish. I wish ACER could reimburse me or give me something new to regain trust in their product. Here is my contact details 0815580757. I suggest acer reimburse all who bought this phone or i will continue to shame this brand i once worshipped.

  • I have that phone. the problem is because the internal memory is too short, so you need empty the phone (photos, videos, or apps) in order to solve it.

  • best phone i ever had, the only bad thing about the phone is poor storage but everything else is great

  • I use this phone for 1 years and I install aplication about 200+ you know what, theres no problem about that, But the rear camera is so bad, front camera is more better. still using this phone for playing game until now, my wife use samsung galaxy note 3 and she have 100 aplication, the phone was laging, Acer Z500 is more better than samsung I think

  • I have the same problem too. It seems that z500 are kinda "unique" phone so not much stores that offer the spare parts and accessories for z500. Mine is kinda tough one, having smooth performance and I still able to fix the phone myself if there's a problem appear. But the cover and the edge of my phone don't appear to be as strong as the screen. The edges of my phone went to chuncks as soon as it fell of to the floor, but the screen is totally fine even after I accidentaly dropped it on the asphalt. i want to change the physical part of the phone, but i'm already satisfied with the features so i guess we have the same prob here ._.v

I took it back to the shop and after a hard reset it started to work again ( not to mention that i had to reinstall all my personal applications). Last week, same problem ! boot loop again! I did a hard reset but now the phone does not switch on anymore. I tried to recharge, reboot everything but my phone is dead! i now only have a 100 euro paperweight! I hope the other phone resists more than 5 months....Never again!

The last is probably all the acer bloatware that comes preloaded and cannot uninstall.

This phone switches off after being charged to 100% then when turned back on battery life decreased to around 60%.

  • I just got this phone. So far, I am not liking it. Should've chose Samsung S Duos 2 but anyway, I only got this today so all I noticed was that the quality of the camera, though 8MP, is not that good. You know what I mean? It's fast though because it is quad core. but still...i don't know. I might like it someday. lol

A week after, my phone shutdown after I used it for texting and there is no apps running by that time. I try to turn it ON but it doesn't work. And when I press the power button the screen turns to white background in a second then it turns to black. Good thing that I've read reviews/comments with this phone. And find it lucky that I have the same experience as yours and it is very helpful to me cause at first I thought I was the only one experiencing that. Thanks to you!! Need to go the Service Center now.

  • just got this phone last week of November 2014 from sun cellular under P499 plan. actually i just used this phone for facebook over wifi. Until this first week of january 2007(correction 2015), the phone's battery was drained for 2 days. i was not able to recharge immediately due several activities. I tried to recharge it however it would not charge. Went to service center and asked if this is the first time. Learned from service center officer that im not the only one to visit their place to complain for the same unit. The other one has power switch problem. Specs is good but im very disappointed. The service center will send my unit in Manila for further diagnostic procedure. And i have to wait for at least 1 month. I really feel bad for this experience.

  • HI guys need help on how to enable OTG on this handset also how to upgrade to lollipop

  • Hi guys ,,just wanted to seek help on how to enable OTG on this handset..do we need to download something on playstore???

  • Hi All, Just bought this phone last week and it is a great phone. I am an iOS user (iPhone 4) and sold off my iPhone and get this phone because of the spec. Got the 16GB storage and 2 GB ram. For now, it is working as it should. My usage is just Whatsapp, FB, Twitter, News applications and of course calls / sms. No hanging and perform quite well. What I like: - Very very clear screen - Great 8MP camera - Screen size is good enough. Not too big - FM radio functions good even inside office with no phone line coverage - Very light and slim phone. Cons: - Phone gets a bit hot if use continously for more than 15 mins. - The touch screen does not really work around the edge of the screen. Need to tap a few times. - There is no grip on the phone. Feels a bit slippery as it is light and thin. - Per day have to charge twice under heavy usage. (I am a frequent news reader) Overall, great phone with an awesome price. Hope this helps those who is considering this phone.

  • yes it is... ntc means national telecommunication commision...

  • Haha just bought the phone here in spain, and it has NTC logo inside.. Is this imported from philippines?

  • Is this BTLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) capable? sorry noob question. :)

  • Help. Phone keeps looping on the banner screen. Tried rebooting but to no avail. I tried hard reset but it turns itself on after a few sec. I had an alert awhile ago of a system update.

  • I loe this acer z500 new phone .. better than my old samsung phone.. the battery last long its fast.. im just loving it

  • Same here, got it yesterday and so far, loving it.

  • when i turn off my phone and open it.. it will ruin all things in it.. and i need to restart it several times to recover the features. maybe 10 - 20 times. the battery is quick to drain. can you help me with my problem? is this normal?

  • It lags Phone gets so hot when charging it It only lasts a day Wifi isnt consistent

  • The back of the phone gets really hot when you charge it for like 2 hours. It s ucks..

  • Guys, do not buy this, i regret it, its not worth your money The phone is good at first, after a month some issues starts to appear. It lags a lot, considering i dont have apps downloaded. The feedback of the screen is not that tactile. And typing messages lags also. The worst is the battery life. Normal usage like call, text, surf is good for a day. The phone heats up when you charge it. Its very hot. I regret buying it.

  • the back cover has a cover in the screen very anoying>:(

  • The phone is good, but after sometime, it lags when connecting to facebook, very annoying. When browsing photos, its not fluid, and im worried about its after sales service its very limited here in the phil. Acer is great on laptops/computers, but to their phones is debatable. Now im planning to buy samsung, i think its worth to buy..

  • mine 2 da speaker in da up doesnt work only in da buttom

  • The Acer has only one speaker. The other one is fake, just for design made. Greetz.

  • Need help....when I tried playing through loudspeaker only the bottom speaker is working ,is it normal or the two speaker should work simultaneously, the store I bought it from ate clueless to this problem..just wondering if you also experience the same problem

  • Helppppp.....Bought this phone today,I tried playing music through loudspeaker and I was shocked that only the bottom speaker is working,is it normal or the two speakers should work simultaneously, need help on this cause I told the store about the problem and there clueless about it..

  • Well, as of now it's good. I don't know soon..

  • its run normal for while, i like this stuff. i'v got what i need, 2 Gb RAM and 16 Gb internal storage, thats enaugh, for now :D

  • lol

  • me too im xpectng 16gb .but its only 4gb

  • i need to charge de batery evry 2 days;it,s normal?

  • this phone is very good.. overall... i love my acee liquid z500.. very good in all aspects like wifi, games, calls.. everything.. love this phone!!

  • I got my phone at the sun shop but the memory was only 4GB ROM and 1 GB RAM why is that so?

  • Sorry I haven't played any games on the phone, I got it as a 2nd phone, primarily for gps duties using waze when I'm driving bcoz my iphone is small for gps use, needed a bigger screen. As for using it as a gps/traffic device it has been very good.

  • How so am I doing it wrong? Pls enlighten me.

  • So does mine! It was okay before but now when I connect it to our wifi it can only connect for a few minutes..sometimes even just few seconds then I'll have to turn wifi off then on again..and the cycle continues..but the other devices here can connect just fine. This has been going on for a few weeks and it's really bugging me.

  • u can try putting it inside the bowl

  • Hi! Have you tried playing demanding games on this phone and how did it go? Please reply just want to know how this it works in actual use. Thanks!

  • Can anyone see the rationale why this phone is considerably cheaper than let's say acer liquid e700 by ( in php peso 3000k) when this one has corning gorilla glass 3 protection and the other doesn't. Could it be that this device although on paper is impressive but doesn't deliver in actual use. And why does it get a pretty low score here.

  • is this water proof?

  • then you're using it the wrong way...

  • Have been using this phone for a couple of days and the downside that I see for now is the batt life,(lith-ion not poly) it might improve more after a few more cycles I guess. Everything else is fine from the speed to the display, the only time phone hanged when I was swiping thru facebook vigorously for a minute or two. Just pressed the home screen and its ok. I also really like that the home and back buttons don't show when the screen is off giving the illusion of a bigger screen and clean design.

  • Which is better Z500 or LG G2 Mini?

  • You mean it won't stay connected on a secure Wi-Fi network? That's strange. My friend has the actual phone and we tried to connect that to my laptop's Wi-Fi hotspot (it was password-ed). And he could stay connected for hours. Try to check the Wi-Fi network with another phone. Maybe there's something wrong with the router instead.

  • This phone is pretty cheap based on my comparisons with other brands. My friend bought this one, and I could say that it actually worked smoothly. I say, if your budget is only enough for phone on this range price, it's fine to go with this one.

  • Update: Recently tried the compare feature. Go with this phone instead. Sony Xperia L is lacking in many features against Acer Liquid Z500.

  • Compare both phone with the compare feature. Also, information regarding internal memory and RAM of this phone were recently updated (I reported this issue only a few days ago because this site didn't list the correct info for that part). I suggest you to actually pick phone with the best performance instead of only looking at the price. Sometimes GSM Arena also does test with Benchmark, pick the one with the higher result if the result is available for the related phone.

  • My friend has the actual phone and it's slightly curved..?

  • Is this phone has a removable battery?

  • it's not curved body, but only at the metalic list design .

  • i love my acer z500.... good performance and worth the price

  • Is the shape of the phone really a curve? I'm confused because i didnt notice it when i bought it. Pls comment.

  • Is the shape of the phone really a curve? I'm confused because i didnt notice it when i bought it. Pls comment.

  • Which is better to buy?Acer z500 or sony xperia L?? please help me please

  • is it worthy for it's price?

  • My only problem is the battery also. When I'm using it about one hour or half hour its so hot :3 and when I'm connecting it to wifi it can't connect. (our wifi don't have password) please help me fix it. I love this phone. But please help me with my problem. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

  • it is a very good phone overall in it's category, with superb screen display with its screen protection a corning gorilla glass 3, the camera is very nice, better than most other brands of same pixel density, it is like a 13 mp or higher, good internet speed and with dual sim 3g capable, not found in most other phones, the dts sound enhancer is cool, the first few days juice run out fast but after 3 or 4 days, it lasts 2 days for me, no games with normal call, text and wifi, to prolong battery life, don't use 3g unless using data connection, set brightness to lowest and not auto, calibrate the battery, and use battery saver apps, du battery saver is good for me, this is far better in specs and performance than samsung galaxy win, which costs lot higher. this has kitkat and galaxy win will never get kitkat..

  • plase help me.. everytime im using a wifi connecetion without password, i don't have a problem using the z500.. but when im in a passworded wifi, i can use the internet connection for a few minutes.. is there any settings that i can set?... tnx a lot

  • My only problem with this phone is the battery. Sudden heating in the back is a minor concern for me because of the quadcore processor and plastic back cover. All in all the performance is nice and smooth. :)

  • good phone for its price.. but when someone is calling you and your using the loudspeaker... the caller sounds a liitle bit weirder

  • Good luck to your Myphone :-)

  • Why acerz500 easily lowbatt

  • here in philippines LTE connection is useless, high value cost paying for plan with low speed. think about it you pay 999 for 1mbs broad band speed. but the other country they pay same cost but in high speed of internet connection..... i hope philippines will improve reganding internet connecion speed.

  • compare with myphone agua rio to this phone? i choose myphone because high specs and afordable price.

  • Acer Z500 have 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM version as well.

  • Hi, is it possible to root this phone?

  • ppl still use 2G smartass...u switch to 4G only when u need high speed internet, in the rest u keep it in 2G...improves battery life drasticaly. And by need of high speed i mean some big download, not the daily facebook and crap.

  • Their are miles of areas here in UK where only 2G is available so yes 2G is still in need,,,better to have some signal than none.

  • Nice.

  • Is this kind of joke? Still who are all using 2g? its a generation of 4g.. still 2g? Wake up.. But DTS sound enhancement feature is good... Should implement all high end phone as this feature... John

  • This smartphone is 3G capable up to 21MBPS and also has additional 2MP secondary front camera. Screen is above average and the phone is very fast and responsive. Acer rapid button at the back is really nice feature.

  • This is not a 3G device... Isn't it a joke??

  • only 4 gb of memory. this is a joke

  • This is so nice
