Acer S120 Liquid Metal

Acer Liquid Metal

After releasing a flurry of handsets towards the middle of last year, Acer has been relatively quiet on the smartphone front lately with just the lacklustre beTouch E130 breaking its silence. However, now it's back with the Acer Liquid Metal - a smartphone running v2.2 of Android and sporting a fairly nippy processor and sharp multi-touch screen. However, there are plenty of good Android handsets on the market priced at a similar level, so how does this one stack up against the competition?

In our opinion, Acer has yet to hit the sweet spot when it comes to handset design. In the past, some of its models have come close, but none have yet reached the levels of desirability that other manufacturers like HTC have achieved. Unfortunately, the Liquid Metal continues this trend, but that's not to say that it’s completely lacking in charm.
