Amazon India will launch new Acer phones next week
The Acer brand is returning to the smartphone world with two new models set to launch in India soon. We didn’t have a concrete date for the launch until now, but the dedicated landing page on Amazon India changes that – the big event is set for April 15 (Tuesday).
Now, the landing page is pretty vague promising a “Supercomputer core in your hands” and “AI-powered starlight precision”, whatever that means. That’s odd as the two phones are already fully revealed – unless there are other new Acer models on the way that have somehow escaped detection, these two are it.
New Acer phones are launching through Amazon India next week
The Acer Acerone Liquid S272E4 (that’s a memorable name) is a budget device with a 12nm MediaTek chip (with an octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU) and a 6.75” IPS LCD with only 720p+ resolution. It has a 20MP camera and a 5,000mAh battery.
The Acer Acerone Liquid S162E4 slots in even lower with a 6.52” 720p+ IPS LCD (60Hz, of course) and a 16MP camera, the rest is mostly the same. The S162E4 (just rolls off the tongue) uses Gorilla Glass 5, while its sibling has GG4, and the 12nm chipset on this one actually runs at slightly higher clocks (0.1GHz higher but they are higher).
Teasers for the new Acer phones
Anyway, as we suspected, this isn’t Acer building new phones, instead the Acer brand was limited to Indkal Technologies. You may or may not have heard of that name before, but if you’re in India, you may already be using one of its products – Indkal makes Acer-branded TVs in India.
You can keep an eye on the Amazon India page – it should be updated with more details in the coming days.
