Acer is all set to re-enter the Indian smartphone market with a launch scheduled for April 15. After postponing their earlier release date in March, the Taiwanese brand is now gearing up to unveil two new smartphones through Amazon India. While Acer has not yet confirmed the official names of the models, previous leaks and listings suggest the devices will be the Acerone Liquid S162E4 and Acerone Liquid S272E4.
Launch Details
Amazon India has gone live with a teaser for the upcoming Acer smartphones. The page doesn’t reveal much apart from the launch date—April 15—and a tagline that reads “The next horizon.” The teaser image also hints at a large camera module, possibly suggesting a focus on photography.
These phones were originally expected to debut on March 25, but the launch was unexpectedly delayed. The new launch now appears to be final, with pre-orders expected to begin soon after the event.
Expected Models
While the official names are still under wraps, earlier sightings on the Acerpure India website suggest the models to look out for are the Acerone Liquid S162E4 and the Acerone Liquid S272E4. Both are expected to be affordable smartphones featuring MediaTek chipsets and Android 14 out of the box.
Acerone Liquid S162E4
This model is expected to feature:
- 6.5-inch HD+ LCD display with 720 x 1,600 resolution
- Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection
- MediaTek Helio P35 processor
- Dual rear cameras: 16MP main sensor + 0.08MP secondary sensor
- 5MP front camera for selfies
- 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage
- 5,000mAh battery
- Android 14
This phone seems aimed at the entry-level market with a basic but functional spec sheet, ideal for first-time smartphone users or those on a tight budget.
Acerone Liquid S272E4
This model will offer slightly higher specifications, including:
- 6.7-inch display (likely HD+ resolution)
- 20MP main rear camera + 0.3MP secondary sensor
- MediaTek Helio P35 chipset (possibly a tweaked version)
- 5MP selfie camera
- 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage
- 5,000mAh battery
- Android 14
Despite having similar core hardware to the S162E4, the S272E4 gets a larger screen and upgraded main camera. This could be Acer’s attempt to offer a budget-friendly multimedia device with basic AI imaging features, as hinted by earlier leaks.
Shared Features
Both devices will ship with:
- Android 14 OS
- 4GB RAM
- 64GB internal storage
- 5,000mAh battery
