Another day, another Android phone. Something new’s leaked out from the Acer camp today a 3.6-inch WVGA android handset that looks to be nothing but metal. Our first guess on type is aluminum something that’s become quite the trend in the technology universe but a bronze-colored variant suggests one of the models could actually be crafted out of that metal, as well. If the specs listed by Russian outlet Habrahabr are correct, then this won’t be a stinker.
Acer Liquid Metal preloaded with Android 2.2 with a custom skin being called Acer Shell 4.0. For RAM and ROM, you can expect 512MB for each and a Qualcomm MSM7230 800MHz processor + Adreno 205 GPU to back it up. Other specs include Bluetooth 3.0 and a camera with flash (type not yet confirmed), but that’s all we can take from this leak. I’m not sure how anyone else feels about the design of this thing, but I’d call it one of Acer’s prettiest offerings yet. I’m more interested in the performance and the software, however, but those bits and pieces will squeak out as time moves on.
Features:
- OS Android Froyo with Acer Shell 4.0
- Processor Qualcomm MSM 7230-1, 800 MHz
- Memory ROM: 512MB Flash ROM, RAM: 512MB DDR RAM
- Screen 3.61 “WVGA, 16M colors TFT-LCD touch panel (Resolution: 800 x 480)
