Acer to Launch New Smartphones in India

A live Amazon microsite confirms that Acer will introduce new smartphones in India on March 25. The use of the word “smartphones” in the promotional image suggests that there will be more than one handset. They will go on sale in the country via Amazon. The company has yet to confirm the monikers of the upcoming smartphones.

Earlier this year, the Acerone Liquid S162E4 and Acerone Liquid S272E4 smartphones were spotted on the Acerpure website. These phones could be the ones to see an official launch later this month. The handsets come with rectangular rear camera modules and the “Acerpure” brand name imprinted on the back panels.

As per the official listing, the Acerone Liquid S162E4 sports a 6.5-inch HD+ (720 x 1,600 pixels) LCD screen with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection, while the Liquid S272E4 has a slightly bigger 6.7-inch display. The former handset is powered by a MediaTek Helio P35 SoC, while the latter likely gets a customised version of the same chipset. 

Both handsets ship with Android 14 and support 4GB of RAM alongside 64GB of onboard storage. The Acerone Liquid S162E4 and Liquid S272E4 also support up to 512GB and 256GB of storage expansion, respectively. They pack a 5,000mAh battery each and support dual SIM 4G, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth 5.0 and USB Type-C connectivity.
