Acer Liquid Gallant and Liquid Gallant Duo announced

We did take a look at the Acer Liquid Gallant Solo’s user guide four days ago, while armed with the knowledge that the Acer Liquid Gallant Duo has a couple of SIM card slots so that you need not tote an additional handset being the busy bee that you are, but here we are with the knowledge that both smartphones have just been announced on an official basis – in fact, 10 days before the IFA event kicks off in Berlin. Acer does not seem to carry any intention to hold a press conference like other smartphone manufacturers, and hopefully this is not due to the trimming in their budget department, but the new smartphones ought to appear in Acer’s booth from August 31st onwards.

Just last month, Acer’s Liquid Gallant Duo teased itself for preorder on the Expansys website, which promised to be an affordable Android 4.0 smartphone for those in need of dual-SIM capabilities. Now, a slightly less capable handset — the Liquid Gallant Solo — has reared its head, and as you might expect, it’s a single SIM affair. Other than this omission, however, the Solo offers much of the same specs as before, which includes a single-core 1GHz MediaTek MT6575 SoC, a 4.3-inch qHD display, a 5-megapixel camera and a 1,500mAh battery. Similarly, the phone also features 1GB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage and a microSD expansion slot. In terms of connectivity, users can expect quadband GSM and 3G support on 2100 / 900MHz networks. Like the Liquid Gallant Duo, the Solo’s public presence was short-lived, as the user manual (linked below) has since been pulled from Acer’s website. Its price also remains a bit of a mystery, but given the dual-SIM exclusion, it seems a safe bet that the Solo will retail for less than the £149 ($230) price of the more capable Duo. Hopefully we’re not far off from a more official debut.
