Intel and Acer have announced the Acer Liquid C1, an Android 4.0 smartphone at an event in Thailand.
-
-
The C1 is powered by the Intel Atom Z2420 chipset.
-
-
The Acer Liquid C1 is by no means a high-end model, but it has decent specs and is positioned as a mid-range device.
-
-
The display is a 4.3-inch IPS screen of qHD resolution (960x540 pixels) and 1GB of RAM.
-
-
There is an 8 megapixel auto-focus camera on the back and an LED flash, but the focus of the launch was the Intel Atom Z2420m SoC.
-
-
The Intel chipset, which was announced at CES earlier this year, is codenamed Lexington. It has a main x86 processor running at 1.2GHz.
-
-
Despite its humble clock speed, the Z2420m supports hardware-accelerated 1080p encoding and decoding, and it enables a burst mode that allows the Liquid C1 to snap five still images in a second.
-
-
It has a decent 2000 MaH Lithium-ion battery that should be enough to keep the phone powered on and connected through the day.
-
-
It is priced at 9,990 Thai baht, which means when it arrives in India, it may be priced at around Rs 17,000.
