Acer Liquid Glow

The Acer Liquid Glow was announced in Feb. 2012 at the Mobile World Congress (MWC). The smartphone recently went on sale in the U.K. and sports a £147.999 price tag for the SIM-free version.

Acer's latest offering has a 3.7-inch 480×800 touchscreen and is available in black and white color options. The smartphone packs a 1 GHz single-core processor, a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, 512MB of RAM, and 1GB of built-in storage space along with a microSD slot. It runs Android 4.0 ICS and also supports Near-Field Communication.

Acer CloudMobile

The Acer CloudMobile, which was unveiled at the MWC, is up for pre-order on Expansys and is expected to launch on Sept. 5. The smartphone has been listed for £284.99 (SIM-free version).

The award-winning CloudMobile sports a 4.3-inch fully-laminated display with a 1280x800 pixel resolution. The impressive 351ppi density makes the display even sharper than Sony's Xperia S's touchscreen. Additionally, the CloudMobile is less than 10mm thick and is designed using Acer's "sleeve DNA" with "soft, wrapping contours which enhance the handheld experience."

It runs a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM processor, which is clocked at 1.5GHz. The smartphone also packs in 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage space, along with a microSD card support of up to 32GB. It also sports an 8-megapixel camera and runs on Android 4.0 ICS. The NFC-enabled smartphone also has a micro-USB port, DLNA and Dolby compatibility, Wi-Fi, and AcerCloud technology.

At £284.99, it is currently the cheapest HD ready smartphone in the market.
