Low-cost segment, “robots” began to gain momentum in the middle of last year, and now this part of the market – one of the most filled by different devices. All the major players – Samsung, LG, HTC, Sony Ericsson – has produced a whole series of low cost robots. Or consider a company Acer.
The new model, Acer Liquid mini – is the transfer of some features of the series smartphones Liquid in the lower price segment. From older vehicles mini got a nice design and shell Acer UI, «chip” smartphone in the wide range of colors and, of course, a low cost.
On the one hand, Acer has turned out quite nice in appearance and is technically a smartphone with a 5 megapixel camera with a screen diagonal of 3.2 “and a resolution HVGA, 512 MB RAM, and other characteristics at the level of the middle segment. On the other – as I said above, the market inexpensive “robots” today is very tightly packed, and the competition it is huge. With a price of 11,000 rubles Acer Liquid mini loses the main advantage – low cost, because if you look below, under the bar at 10 000, they found LG Optimus One with almost similar features and Samsung GT-i5700, as well as other devices that in some moments inferior product from Acer, but have their lower price. As a result, Acer Liquid mini – just a nice and relatively inexpensive “robot”, which will be of interest to users wishing to buy a smartphone cheerful colors. But if the price tag for the mini drops to 8,000 – 9,000 rubles, this device will be really attractive.
