Acer Liquid Gallant Solo Android 4.0 handset revealed in official user guide

Posted in: Today's Chili

While Acer might be more known for its Android tablets, as far as its Android smartphone efforts have gone, well it’s safe to say that they aren’t really a company that comes to mind when you want an Android handset. That being said, it seems that the company might have an Android smartphone up their sleeves in the form of the Liquid Gallant Solo. While no official announcement has been made, the handset along with its looks and features were spotted on an official user guide posted on Acer’s website.

So what sort of specs are we looking at here? Well for starters users can look forward to a 4.3” qHD LCD display with a resolution of 960×540. It will be powered by a 1GHz MediaTek MT6575 processor and will be accompanied by 1GB of RAM, a 5MP rear-facing camera, 4GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot for memory expansion, a 1,500mAh removable battery and will ship with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on board. Certainly not the most impressive handset we’ve seen out there, but given its specs we expect it will be getting an affordable price tag when it launches.

Acer Liquid Gallant Solo makes brief cameo, Android 40 smartphone lives up to its name

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.
