Acer Liquid Jade S – Hands-On Video and First Impressions (CES 2015)
All the pre-CES 2015 announcements gain more momentum today as one of the biggest, if not the biggest, consumer tech show in the world is just literally hours away. Acer joins the mob as it announces two smartphones – a robust mid-tier smartphone and a very interesting entry level one – ahead of the big trade show in Las Vegas.
Because of the sleek design (7.78mm thick), the phone will feature a non-removable 2,300mAh battery. The Liquid Jade S also features LTE connectivity. Another new feature will be the hybrid nanoSIM/microSD slot – a feature that will be found on some models of this phone. The users can choose to either use a second nanoSIM card for dual SIM functionality, or use the slot as an expansion for microSD storage, depending on the need of the user.
