Following the release of the Acer Liquid Jade Z and Liquid Z410 at the Mobile World Congress, Acer recently announced the launch of six entry-level phones at IFA: the the Z630/Z630S, Z530/Z530S and the Z330/M330 and Z320/M320. While there are essentially only main models, what sets the new Z and M series additions apart is that the Liquid Z series is Android-powered and the M series is Windows-powered.
Where these bare-bones phones and phablets may be lacking, (such as only having 720p screens that sacrifice crispness and sharp display qualities) Acer makes up for it in other areas by supplying ample storage space and powerful batteries—some of the most important basics that many phone users are looking for.
