A few days ago Acer announced two new smartphones just before Mobile World Congress and the Liquid E3 got a lot of attention for a rather unique feature on the camera. We just went to the Acer event before the official conference starts on Monday and were able …
UK network Three have confirmed they will stock a brand new Acer device called the Liquid E3. Just days ahead of this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona the lid has been lifted on this new phone and, in traditional Three style, there is a sneak peek video …
Earlier on in the week Acer teased us with an image from the rear of an unannounced phone. We covered that here but it seemed they were going to wait until MWC before they actually showed the world what it was. No, they’re not waiting, they’ve gone and …
Acer have posted an image on Google+ saying that they will reveal “must have new products” at MWC. Judging by the image they posted it looks like a phone with a rear power button. It’s certainly intriguing, it’s nice to see upcoming manufacturers trying things out, you just …
Chromebooks. Are they a good alternative to your day to day laptop? That is the question we are going to try and answer over the course of this review. I have been using one now for the past few days courtesy of Acer who lent me the device …
The Acer Liquid Z5 Duo is another budget spec dual SIM device from Acer, that runs their fancy UI on top of Android allowing you a variety of different Windows Phone style launchers plus the standard Android one. It’s also a big 5″ model this time round. The …
Here is a little something different. A thin and light laptop on Coolsmartphone. What’s going on? Am I reading the correct site do I need an eye test? Whoa there before you run off to Optical Express, relax because even though this is a laptop it share a …
Acer have their fingers in all sorts of pies, they make decent laptops, monitors, tablets and even phones. Next week at CES they’ve got their new products on hand for the world to see and this week they’ve released the info and some images on the whole new …
So, you don’t want to go for an ultra-cheap-bargain-basement tablet but, at the same time, you don’t want to get utterly fleeced buying a top-end tablet. What about the Google Nexus 7 we reviewed? Fancy that? How about bagging one for less than £180? How’s that sound to …
The current generation of Acer devices are pretty impressive, at the top of the pile is the “S” range, which is the flagship device range. The Liquid S1 phablet is a great big thing with a 5.7″ screen and specs similar to the Galaxy Note II. I’ve had …
Cast your mind back to last week, I reviewed the Acer Liquid E2 and I found it to be a pretty good budget phone, with a few problems. Well Three have now got some stock and you can get them on a contract or on PAYG. Brendan from …
Regular readers will know that I’ve ditched my long-standing Orange contract mobe and switched to a rolling monthly deal instead. The benefits are that I’m not hooked into a 2-year deal, I’m spending less because I’m not subsidising that “free” handset, and I can hop to another network …
Recently we reviewed the Acer Liquid E1. It’s got a dual-core CPU and a 5 megapixel shooter. However, the Acer Liquid E2 is now in stock and the specification has been significantly ramped up. Powered by a quad-core 1.2GHz CPU, this has Android 4.2, 4GB internal storage, a …
There’s a lot being said about the new Acer Liquid E2 right now (which the boys at Expansys will be selling for a mere £179.99) but this is the earlier Acer Liquid E1 Duo. The “Duo” in the name is kinda revealing – this will accept two standard-sized …
We’re reviewing (perhaps better late than never) the Acer Liquid E1 at the moment, so to compare I took a look at the new E2. This has an improved spec and will arrive in the next day or two at Expansys. They’re doing it SIM-free, so no contracts …
If you’re thinking of switching to Three then listen up, because they’ve announced that three new handsets are now available or coming soon. First is the Samsung Galaxy Mega we spotted yesterday, but Three will also be carrying the Liquid E2 from Acer too. We got confirmation on …
Large phones are becoming a thing nowadays. With every manufacturer jumping on the bandwagon. What used to just be a niche market product made by Samsung has spiralled to what we have today. Acer have gone and announced the latest in the Liquid range, the S1. Which marks …
Acer UK have announced that they are continuing their £20 cashback deal on purchases of the Acer Iconia B1 8GB and 16GB models, making the final price £79.99 and £99.99. If you’re after a cheap basic tablet then the B1 might be the one for you. Cashback is …
Times are hard. Just last week I had to downsize my second home to a condo in the Caribbean. Ohhhh the shame of it. If you’re looking to switch to a SIM only deal and get yourself a decent cheapo smartphone, have a look at the Acer Cloud …
The already super cheap Acer Iconia B1 is now about to get even cheaper. You can get £20 Cashback on the Acer Iconia B1 throughout May. We haven’t managed to get one for review yet, I can’t comment on how good/bad it is. You’re really into the “should …
We’ve reviewed it and we’ve mentioned last month that it was down to less than £200. Now it’s even cheaper with the price dipping down to just £179.99, and that includes the delivery and everything. The handset will, of course, arrive unlocked and has a 4.3” IPS 1280×720 …
Dual SIM phones are pretty clever, they use two SIM cards, one for voice and normally one for data. The Acer Liquid Gallant Duo does quite a bit more though, with Ice Cream Sandwich the options to control exactly which SIM did what where plentiful. I reviewed the …
Seven inch tablets are so last year. This year everyone wants an eight inch tablet or else. Judging by the Note 8.0, the iPad Mini and now this the 7.9″ Acer Iconia A1-810. The Acer Iconia A1-810 has appeared on French retailers “Rue Du Commerce” website showing specs …
Got £200? Good stuff, because you can always donate to keep us on the air 🙂 If you don’t fancy dishing out money to a worthy cause you can perhaps have a look at the Acer Cloud Mobile for £199.99. It’s got rave reviews and has a gorgeous …
Can you remember the Acer S500 Cloud Mobile? Well I can, I reviewed one last year and it was a great little phone with a great spec, a great screen, amazing sound quality, a decent camera and now it has a great price. Expansys are one of the …
A few years ago I thought that to have a small lightweight easily transportable device you would have to get an iPad or an Android Tablet. Or get cross with a Netbook or break the bank and get a fancy Ultrabook. I settled for an Android Tablet a …
Windows 8 has been one of the most intriguing OS launches that I have ever seen. Manufacturers have been given an OS that lends itself to any shape or form that they can think of. Off the back of that we have seen a variety of different shapes, …
The move to the cloud is becoming an almost irresistible force with remote storage being offered by companies such as Dropbox, Google (Google Drive), Apple (iCloud) and Microsoft (Skydrive). Possibly the first batch of devices to attempt to fully utilise this move are Google’s Chromebooks which run the …
I really liked the Acer Cloud Mobile when I had one to review (which you can read here), it was a speedy little critter. With a great 720p screen and a really nice camera. But lack of network uptake and just general lack of interest in Acer phones …
There is something appealing and somewhat geeky about a phone with two SIM cards in it. Having your work and your personal SIM cards in one phone is the main use for this sort of phone. When I tested one out a while back I used a Giff …
I’ve had the Iconia A510 a few weeks now and I’ve used it pretty extensively. Mainly because I took it on holiday with me at the end of November. Now it’s time to bring you the full review. Nut first the good and bad points of the device. …
The Chromebook is something that is garnering more and more attention. Google have now introduced two new models to the market. The latest being a slightly lower spec model from Acer. But the price has just crept beneath £200 meaning it is almost as cheap as some tablets. …
I’ve been using the Acer S500 Cloud Mobile as my main phone for a few weeks now and it’s time to bring you the full review. My initial conclusion was that the Cloud Mobile was a great phone that seemed like it was going to be let down …
A few weeks ago we got the dual sim Gallant Duo in for review from Acer and ever since I have been using it to try and find what’s good and what’s bad. In our initial impressions I was impressed with Acer and their handling of the dual …
Here at Coolsmartphone each of the writers goes through an inordinate amount of handsets and accessories that go with them. We each have our own favourite suppliers that we find to be reliable and prompt. We therefore thought that we would bring a profile of the ones that …
News has reached us that the new Acer Cloud Mobile will be available from 3rd October directly from Expansys. The new 4.3″ device is set to ship with Android 4.0 Ice Cream sandwich and is powered by a 1.5Ghz dual core Snapdragon processor. With 16gb internal storage and …
Yesterday Acer announced a new small Nexus and Kindle Fire competitor. It is called the Iconia A110 which follows on the A100 we reviewed a while back. Acer have made a nice range of tablets of the years and hopefully this one will continue the trend. The spec …
Now this is a rather interesting and surprisingly draconian story about Google throwing their weight around. The story goes that a phone collaboration between the Acer and Alibaba was shelved at the very last minute! Google and Acer had been planning to launch the ‘CloudMobile A800’ smartphone together …
Earlier on in the year Acer announced a few different Android phones. The highest spec phone announced was the the Cloud Mobile. It is going to be the first device to use the new Acer Cloud service. It is also probably the highest spec Acer I have ever …
Earlier on in the year Acer announced a budget Ice Cream Sandwich device called the Liquid Glow and it was due to be released in a selection of colours. Retailer Expansys now has the Black and White models in stock and the price is definitely a wallet friendly …
